"description": "# Solstice SaaS Growth Pack (Sample)\n\n**A dashboard-ready synthetic SaaS metrics dataset.** Import the 6 CSVs straight into any BI tool and have a credible SaaS growth dashboard in under 10 minutes - no cleanup, no modeling.\n\nBuilt by [Solstice AI Studio](https://www.solsticestudio.ai/datasets) as a free sample of a larger commercial pack. 100% synthetic - no real company, customer, or personal data.\n\n## What is in the box\n\n| File | Rows | Grain | Purpose |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| companies.csv | 6 | company | Master dimension - 6 synthetic startups spanning 6 distinct growth narratives |\n| growth_metrics.csv | 540 | date x company | Daily revenue, MRR, customer counts, CAC, LTV, churn |\n| channel_performance.csv | 3,780 | date x company x channel | Marketing channel impressions, clicks, conversions, cost, attribution |\n| customer_segments.csv | 18 | company x segment | SMB / Mid-Market / Enterprise unit economics |\n| metric_definitions.csv | 7 | metric | Self-documenting formulas |\n| dashboard_suggestions.csv | 8 | chart | 4 starter dashboards with suggested axes |\n\n**Period:** 90 days. **Currency:** USD. **Dates:** ISO-8601 (YYYY-MM-DD). **Join key:** company_id.\n\n## Growth narratives included\n\nEach company embodies a distinct SaaS growth profile - so dashboards show realistic variance instead of random noise:\n\n- **Steady PLG** - strong SEO/content/referral, efficient long-term growth\n- **Paid accelerator** - aggressive paid acquisition, higher CAC\n- **Enterprise lumpy** - quarter-end deal spikes, lower churn\n- **Seasonal B2C** - demand seasonality and periodic swings\n- **Churn recovery** - visible churn event followed by stabilization\n- **Capital infusion** - growth acceleration after mid-period expansion\n\n## Why this dataset\n\n**Clean joins, zero cleanup.** Stable IDs, one clear grain per table, no null-heavy columns, no ambiguous foreign keys. Import order: companies -> growth_metrics -> channel_performance -> customer_segments.\n\n**Pre-calculated SaaS metrics.** MRR, CAC, LTV, churn rate, conversion rate, CTR - all included, formulas documented in metric_definitions.csv. Users get to insight on first import.\n\n**Cross-table consistency.** Daily channel conversions sum exactly to new_customers. Daily channel cost sums exactly to marketing_spend. Active customer counts respect prev + new - churned = active on every row.\n\n**Realistic magnitudes.** Daily revenue reconciles to MRR over a month. ARR, LTV:CAC, and payback periods sit in credible SaaS ranges.\n\n## Use cases\n\n- Instant demo dashboards for BI / analytics tools\n- User onboarding and first-value experiences\n- SaaS metrics dashboard templates\n- Product showcase and sales enablement\n- Analytics workflow testing (imports, joins, filters)\n- Startup and growth analytics education\n- Customer success and retention analysis\n- Marketing performance and attribution analysis\n\n## Quick start\n\n```\ncompanies.csv -> dimension table\ngrowth_metrics.csv -> primary fact (time x company)\nchannel_performance.csv -> secondary fact (time x company x channel)\ncustomer_segments.csv -> segment roll-up\n```\n\nJoin key is company_id. All dates are ISO-8601. All currency is USD.\n\n**Suggested first dashboard: SaaS Growth Overview**\n- Line chart: date x revenue, filter by company_name\n- Dual-axis line: date x (mrr, active_customers), filter by company_name\n\nFull dashboard recipes in dashboard_suggestions.csv.\n\n### Load with pandas\n\n```python\nimport pandas as pd\n\ncompanies = pd.read_csv(\"companies.csv\")\ngrowth = pd.read_csv(\"growth_metrics.csv\", parse_dates=[\"date\"])\nchannels = pd.read_csv(\"channel_performance.csv\", parse_dates=[\"date\"])\nsegments = pd.read_csv(\"customer_segments.csv\")\n\n# Monthly MRR per company\nmonthly_mrr = (\n growth.assign(month=growth[\"date\"].dt.to_period(\"M\"))\n .groupby([\"company_name\", \"month\"])[\"mrr\"].mean()\n .reset_index()\n)\n```\n\n## Data quality checklist\n\n- All foreign keys resolve (0 orphans)\n- No nulls in required columns\n- No negative revenue, spend, or counts\n- Derived metrics reproduce from inputs (mrr, cac, ltv, churn_rate, conversion_rate, click_through_rate)\n- Continuity invariant holds: prev_active + new - churned = active on every row\n- impressions >= clicks >= conversions on every channel row\n\n## License\n\nReleased under **CC BY 4.0** - use freely for demos, research, internal tooling, education, and commercial templates. Attribution appreciated.\n\nSynthetic data only - no real company, customer, or personal information.\n\n## Get the full pack\n\nThis is a **6-company, 90-day sample**. The production pack scales to any company count (12 / 50 / 500+), any date range (1 quarter / 1 year / 3 years), any seed for reproducibility, custom growth profile mixes, and custom industry / channel configurations.\n\n**Self-serve (Stripe checkout):**\n- [**Sample Scale tier - $5,000**](https://buy.stripe.com/7sY5kD2j85QTfSb5lfeEo03) - ~25K records, one subject, 72-hour delivery.\n\n**Full pack + enterprise scope:**\n- [www.solsticestudio.ai/datasets](https://www.solsticestudio.ai/datasets) - per-SKU pricing across Starter / Professional / Enterprise tiers, plus commercial licensing, custom generation, and buyer-specific variants.\n\n**Procurement catalog:**\n- [SolsticeAI Data Storefront](https://solsticeai.mydatastorefront.com) - available via Datarade / Monda.\n\n## Citation\n\n```\n@dataset{solstice_saas_growth_pack_2026,\n title = {Solstice SaaS Growth Pack (Sample)},\n author = {Solstice AI Studio},\n year = {2026},\n publisher = {Kaggle},\n url = {https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/justinsolstice/solstice-saas-growth-pack}\n}\n```\n",
