Audit your store's margins with AI

A prompt that turns Claude or ChatGPT into a margin analyst for your store. Paste, fill the brackets, get your leaks ranked.

The prompt

Copy this into Claude or ChatGPT and fill in the brackets:

You are a DTC profitability analyst. Audit my Shopify store's margin structure. My numbers: - Average order value: $[AOV] - Product cost per order: $[COGS] - Shipping cost per order: $[SHIPPING] - Payment fees: [FEES]% of revenue - Monthly ad spend: $[AD SPEND] at [ROAS]x ROAS - Discount usage: [DESCRIBE: e.g. 10% welcome code, frequent sales] - Return rate: [RETURN %] Do this: 1. Compute my contribution margin per order and my break-even ROAS. 2. Rank my 3 biggest margin leaks from these numbers, with the monthly dollar impact of each. 3. For each leak, give one specific fix I can apply this week and what it risks. 4. Tell me the single number I should track weekly and why. Be direct. If a number looks unhealthy, say so plainly. Do not invent data I did not give you.

How to run it

  1. Copy the prompt and fill every bracket with your real numbers. Estimates beat blanks.
  2. Paste it into Claude or ChatGPT and read the ranked leaks.
  3. Apply the one fix with the biggest monthly dollar impact first.
  4. Re-run the prompt after two weeks with updated numbers and compare.

Common questions

Do I need my exact numbers?

Close estimates work for a first pass. The exercise usually reveals which numbers you do not actually know, which is itself the finding.

How is Lytix different from this prompt?

Same analysis, but from your live store data instead of manually typed numbers, recomputed daily, with the biggest leak surfaced automatically.
