Blended ROAS is an average, and averages hide the losers.

A channel at 0.69× can sit inside a blended 3× and never surface. True CAC against what a customer actually contributes is the number that separates them.

The problem

Why the blended figure is comfortable and wrong

Averaging spend across channels lets the strong ones carry the weak. On the sample book one channel returned 0.69× against another's 6.87× — same account, same month, and the blended number looked healthy.

Channel performance: spend and return by channel, computed from a sample ad export
What it computes

Three figures, each opening to its code.

G1 / COMPUTED

Return by channel and campaign

Spend against contribution for each, not against revenue, so a channel selling low-margin products stops looking efficient.

G2 / COMPUTED

True CAC

What you paid to acquire a customer, set against the contribution that customer actually produced over their life.

G3 / COMPUTED

Spend worth moving

The exact dollars sitting in channels returning under breakeven, and where the same spend has been returning more.
