Hi, I'm Daniel — the author. Happy to answer any questions.

Quick context: I wrote a book on unit economics (foreword by Ash Maurya), then spent 9 years proving I can't fix my own. ueCalc is a financial modeling tool for startups — the product works, but I never figured out how to sell it.

The article has all the numbers: conversion funnel, LTV, revenue breakdown, what I tried and why it failed.

I'm now running a public experiment to find a new model. Would love to hear from anyone who's been in a similar spot — working product, no paying customers.

then I don't understand, in 10 years I have interacted with more than 3000 startups, collected and analyzed their problems and offered a solution, how do I talk about it? any post of mine about it gets a ban, I get accused of promoting myself? what am I doing wrong?

That is, you can only share ideas by replying to other people's posts, and if you write a post yourself, you don't listen and get banned. And then posts can only be with questions, did I hear you right?

and how do you tell the world about ideas? :)

How does listening help spread new ideas? Akio Morita used to say that you can't ask people what they don't know. I want to tell the world new things, how do I do that?

how do you tell the world what's important in a case like this?

Indeed, I have moved a bit further away from just comparing LTV and CAC and propose a concept that allows you to manage business processes using approaches such as unit economics, goldratt's theory of constraints and metrics tree. In general, if I manage to tell people about it, they see the benefit, but I don't understand how to tell them.
