Revenue intelligence for
e-commerce and retail.

Margins are thin enough that a 4× ROAS can be a loss. The ad platform will never tell you this, because the ad platform does not know your margin.

Benchmarks compiled from published 2025–2026 industry research. Treat as directional, not prescriptive — your own trailing four-quarter average is the only benchmark that matters.

The signals that matter here

Generic deal scoring gets this wrong.

Most deal-scoring models were built on a mid-market SaaS motion and quietly assume it. In e-commerce and retail, the signals that actually predict a close are different — and a model that does not know that will confidently mislead you.

Sector-specific signals

· Gross margin and break-even ROAS (1 ÷ margin)

· Repeat purchase rate as the real LTV driver

· Cost per acquisition, not cost per lead

· Contribution margin after fulfilment

The verdict

At 25% margin, break-even ROAS is 4×. Every campaign celebrated at '4× ROAS' is exactly breaking even. Know your break-even before you celebrate anything.


What Quotarider does about it

Deal health weighted for a ~70 days (B2B) cycle. Commission modelled against the actual structure — not a generic percentage. And a sourcing cutoff calculated from your real cycle length, so you know the last day a deal can be started and still land this period.
