This template maps the student funnel, traffic to signup to enrollment to completion, then layers retention and referral on top to project revenue. The variable that sets EdTech apart from generic SaaS is completion rate, because completion drives retention, word-of-mouth, and ultimately LTV. Whether you price as a subscription, per-course, cohort, or B2B license, the model ties revenue back to how many students actually finish, not just how many enroll.
Completion rates vary dramatically by format: self-paced MOOCs average just 5–15%, cohort-based courses with deadlines and peer accountability hit 40–70%, and intensive bootcamps reach 70–90%. LTV tracks the same spread, MOOC subscriptions average $150–$400, cohort programs $500–$2,000, and bootcamps $5,000–$15,000. Acquisition cost for self-serve B2C EdTech typically lands at $20–$80. The model pre-loads these by format so a self-paced product isn't accidentally modeled with cohort-grade retention.
Completion rate is the highest-leverage number in the entire model. If yours sits below the benchmark for your format, improving it moves revenue more than any pricing or acquisition tweak, completers retain longer, refer more, and justify higher prices. That's why the model treats completion as a primary input feeding retention and referral, rather than a vanity metric reported after the fact.
