Methodology

How SpendSignal calculates Cost Elasticity & Kill-Zone

The Logic

1. Analyze the elasticity of my marketing channels (Marginal ROAS curves). 2. Identify 'Sacred Cows' (high efficiency, high volume) vs 'Safe-to-Cut' zones (low/negative marginal returns). 3. Simulate a 15% budget cut focused only on the least efficient channels and predict the net margin impact.
