$1,120What one bound auto policy from Safe Driver Search is expected to contribute over three years, after claims and servicing. Winning it cost about $435, much of it spent before the policy was bound.

Know what every click, lead and call is worth to your book.

The profitability layer brings your post-bind profitability models and actuarial customer value into your marketing. Every click, lead, call, agent conversation, quote and bind gets an expected economic value in near real time, and everything else in Fountlabs is judged on it.

A customer gains value at every step.

A click on a search ad is worth something. A started quote is worth more, a nine-minute call about bundling more again, and a bound policy is worth its expected contribution over its life, after losses and expenses.

Fountlabs prices each step with your own models, so you know what you're buying while you're still buying it, instead of finding out at renewal.

The cheapest lead is rarely the best one.

We have yet to see an account where the cheapest lead source and the most profitable one were the same source. Put cost and value next to each other and the budget conversation changes. You stop asking how to get leads cheaper and start asking how much a lead is worth paying for.

Your models, at marketing speed

Your actuaries already know what a customer is worth.

Pricing and retention models usually live with actuarial and finance and get looked at once a quarter. Fountlabs connects them to marketing data as it arrives, so the value of a customer is there when a bid, a test or an audience is being decided.

Expected 3-year value of a bound auto policy, by where it came from

How it works

Bring your own models

Use your pricing, retention, loss and lifetime value models as they are. Where you don't have one, we'll work with your team on a segment-level estimate of premium, retention and loss ratio, which gets you most of the value.

Allowable acquisition cost, by segment

Set what you can afford to pay for a policy by product, state and channel, derived from expected lifetime contribution. Cost per lead then falls out of the calculation as a constraint instead of leading it.

Values that learn from the book

As policies renew, cancel and claim, expected values are checked against what actually happened and corrected, and you can see by how much.

Used everywhere

Agents answer with it, experiments are judged on it, audiences are priced with it and quotes from AI assistants are checked against it. There is one view of what a customer is worth, and everyone uses it.

Where it sits

Part of one system.

The profitability layer sits directly on the data layer and under everything else. It is the reason every capability above it can be judged on growth economics instead of activity.

Price the funnel like an actuary.
