Key Insight: Upsell initiatives drove 23% of revenue growth, while improved customer retention freed up $180K in previously budgeted acquisition spend.
Key Insights Section:
-
✅ Strength: Engineering productivity increased 35%, reducing feature delivery time from 6 to 4 weeks

Create a waterfall chart showing how each product line contributed to overall revenue growth, with segments for new customers, upsells, and retention. This makes contribution clarity visible at a glance and tells a complete growth story.
