Sources

Optifai publishes CAC payback as a range per ACV band rather than a point estimate. The number above is the upper bound of Optifai's published range for this band (their conservative-case median); the 'best-in-class' value is the lower bound. The overall B2B SaaS median across all ACV bands in Optifai's n=939 dataset is 15 months. Optifai does not segment by company stage either, so the same range applies across all 5 stages within this band.
