P&L Economics
Are your margins healthy enough to support the CAC you are paying? In 60% of diagnostics, this is where the primary blocker lives, founders scaling spend without a clear break-even or LTV picture.

002 — The problem
Most growth problems are not marketing problems. They are system problems.
- a.Observation
Most growth problems hide in the system, not the channel.
In 60% of the 276 diagnostics Interconnections has run, the primary blocker is not the ads or the agency. It is the founder's inability to track ad efficiency, expect a realistic CAC, and identify which metrics matter for their specific business.
- b.Observation
Category economics decide what is possible.
In supplements, you cannot expect to scale Facebook profitably while measuring only top-line revenue. The channel can be profitable, but only with controlled testing, healthy unit economics, and a clear view of the break-even point before you push spend.
- c.Diagnosis
Creative, CRO, and visibility take the rest.
Roughly 20% of brands underinvest in creative testing, both volume and budget. The remaining 20% split between weak product-page conversion and a lack of SEO and third-party brand visibility. The diagnostic is how you find out which one is yours.
003 — From a client
We were spending nearly double what we spent the year before and barely holding the same revenue. They drilled into product-level spend, identified the low-margin SKUs eating our budget, and shifted spend toward higher-margin products. We grew top line while reducing total ad spend.

004 — Audit dimensions we cover
Six dimensions, one honest read.
Most agencies only see their own channel. Interconnections audits the whole system, the six dimensions where ecommerce brands actually break, so the diagnosis is a root cause, not a symptom.
Tier 01 · Primary channel
Attribution
Can you actually tell what is working? We pressure-test your analytics, pixels, and platform reporting to separate useful signal from misleading noise. Broken attribution is one of the most expensive invisible problems in ecommerce.
Tier 02Channel-specific expertise
CRM & Data
How clean is your customer data and how well is it segmented? We audit your CRM, lifecycle flows, and event tracking to confirm the foundation is strong enough to support paid scale and retention work.
Creative Quality
Is your ad creative resonating with the right buyer? Around 20% of brands we diagnose are underinvesting in creative testing, both the volume of variations needed and the budget required to find winners.
Channel Mix
Are you on the right platforms with the right budget split? We look at whether paid media, email, organic, and SEO are working together or competing against each other for the same customer.
Retention
How much of your revenue depends on first-time buyers? We audit repeat purchase rate, email and SMS performance, and post-purchase flows to find the retention gaps quietly capping your LTV.
