Time Estimate: 6-8 hours for analysis and optimization planning

Example:

# Complete CAC analysis workflow
python ../../marketing-skill/marketing-demand-acquisition/scripts/calculate_cac.py q3-spend.csv q3-conversions.csv > cac-report.txt
cat cac-report.txt
# Review metrics and optimize high-CAC channels
