Section 1
The premise
LTV is the metric most likely to be wildly wrong because most companies don't have enough cohort data to compute it reliably. AI can build the model; what it cannot do is conjure statistical power from short cohort histories.
What AI does well here
- Compute LTV by cohort, segment, and channel
- Apply discount rates and churn assumptions correctly
- Generate sensitivity tables across churn and gross margin
- Spot when small cohort size makes LTV unreliable
What AI cannot do
- Predict future churn for an unproven product
- Account for survivorship bias in cohort analysis
- Replace the disciplined cohort tracking that builds real LTV
