## Glossary
URL pattern: https://theinternetcompass.com/glossary/{slug}

- Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) (annual-recurring-revenue): Annual Recurring Revenue is the value of a company's contracted, repeating subscription revenue expressed over twelve months. It excludes one-off fees, professional services and usage overages that are not contractually committed.
- Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) (monthly-recurring-revenue): Monthly Recurring Revenue is the normalised value of contracted subscription revenue for one month. It is typically broken into new, expansion, contraction and churned components to explain movement.
- Net Revenue Retention (NRR) (net-revenue-retention): Net Revenue Retention measures revenue from a cohort of existing customers after twelve months, including expansion, contraction and churn, divided by that cohort's starting revenue. New customers are excluded.
- Gross Revenue Retention (GRR) (gross-revenue-retention): Gross Revenue Retention measures revenue retained from an existing cohort after churn and contraction, excluding expansion. It cannot exceed 100%.
- Churn Rate (churn-rate): Churn rate is the percentage of customers (logo churn) or revenue (revenue churn) lost during a period, divided by the total at the start of that period.
- Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) (customer-acquisition-cost): Customer Acquisition Cost is total sales and marketing spend in a period divided by the number of new customers acquired in that period, including salaries, commissions, tooling and programme spend.
- Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) (customer-lifetime-value): Customer Lifetime Value is the total gross profit a customer is expected to generate over the life of the relationship, usually estimated as average revenue per account multiplied by gross margin, divided by churn rate.
- CAC Payback Period (cac-payback-period): CAC payback period is the number of months of gross profit from a new customer needed to recover their acquisition cost.
- Burn Multiple (burn-multiple): Burn multiple is net cash burn divided by net new ARR over the same period. A burn multiple of 1.5 means the company burned $1.50 for every $1 of new recurring revenue.
- Runway (runway): Runway is cash on hand divided by average monthly net burn, expressed in months. It assumes no change in revenue or spending.
- Product-Led Growth (PLG) (product-led-growth): Product-led growth is a go-to-market strategy in which product usage, rather than sales outreach, is the primary driver of acquisition, conversion and account expansion.
- Bottom-Up Sales (bottom-up-sales): Bottom-up sales is a motion where adoption begins with individual users or small teams paying with a credit card, and enterprise contracts follow once usage has spread inside the organisation.
- Freemium (freemium): Freemium is a pricing model in which a functional version of the product is free indefinitely, with revenue coming from users who upgrade for capacity, collaboration or advanced capability.
- Usage-Based Pricing (usage-based-pricing): Usage-based pricing charges customers according to measured consumption (API calls, compute credits, data volume or transactions) instead of a fixed per-seat subscription.
- Committed ARR (cARR) (committed-annual-recurring-revenue): Committed Annual Recurring Revenue includes all contractually committed subscription revenue, counting signed contracts that have not yet started generating recognised revenue.
- Total Addressable Market (TAM) (total-addressable-market): Total Addressable Market is the total annual revenue opportunity for a product category assuming one hundred per cent market share, before any consideration of competition or reachability.
- Product-Market Fit (product-market-fit): Product-market fit is the state in which a product meets real, urgent demand in a specific market, evidenced by strong retention, organic growth and customers who resist giving the product up.
- North Star Metric (north-star-metric): A north star metric is the single measure a company designates as the best proxy for the value it delivers to customers, used to align teams around one definition of progress.
- OKR (okr): Objectives and Key Results is a goal-setting framework in which a qualitative objective is paired with three to five quantitative key results that define what achieving it looks like.
- API (api): An Application Programming Interface is a defined set of rules and endpoints through which one software system requests data or functionality from another.
- REST API (rest-api): A REST API is an interface architected around resources identified by URLs and manipulated through standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, PATCH and DELETE) with stateless requests.
- GraphQL (graphql): GraphQL is a query language and runtime for APIs in which the client specifies the exact structure of the data it requires, and the server returns precisely that shape in a single response.
- Webhook (webhook): A webhook is an HTTP request sent automatically from one system to a URL you provide when a specified event occurs, allowing event-driven integration without polling.
- Idempotency (idempotency): An operation is idempotent when applying it multiple times has the same effect as applying it once. In APIs this is implemented with client-supplied idempotency keys that let servers deduplicate retried requests.
- Rate Limiting (rate-limiting): Rate limiting restricts the number of requests a client can make to a service within a defined time window, typically enforced with token-bucket or sliding-window algorithms and communicated through HTTP 429 responses.
- SDK (sdk): A Software Development Kit is a collection of libraries, tools and documentation that lets developers integrate a service using idiomatic code in their own language rather than constructing raw HTTP requests.
- Large Language Model (LLM) (large-language-model): A large language model is a neural network, typically transformer-based, trained on very large text corpora to predict the next token in a sequence, a capability that generalises to translation, summarisation, reasoning and code generation.
- Token (token): A token is the smallest unit of text a language model processes, typically a word fragment of about four characters in English. Model context limits and pricing are both denominated in tokens.
- Context Window (context-window): The context window is the maximum quantity of text, measured in tokens, that a language model can process in one request, including the prompt, any retrieved documents, conversation history and the generated response.
- Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) (retrieval-augmented-generation): Retrieval-augmented generation is an architecture in which relevant documents are retrieved from an external store (usually via vector or hybrid search) and supplied to a language model as context, so responses are grounded in specific source material.
- Embedding (embedding): An embedding is a dense vector of floating-point numbers that represents the semantic content of an input, positioned such that similar meanings occupy nearby points in the vector space.
- Vector Database (vector-database): A vector database stores embeddings and retrieves the nearest matches to a query vector using approximate nearest-neighbour indexes such as HNSW or IVF, trading exactness for speed at scale.
- Semantic Search (semantic-search): Semantic search retrieves results based on conceptual similarity between a query and documents, typically by comparing embeddings, rather than by matching literal keywords.
- Prompt Engineering (prompt-engineering): Prompt engineering is the practice of structuring instructions, context and examples supplied to a language model so that it produces accurate, consistent and appropriately formatted output.
- Fine-Tuning (fine-tuning): Fine-tuning continues training a pretrained model on a curated dataset so it adapts to a specific task, format or domain, updating model weights rather than input context.
- Hallucination (hallucination): A hallucination is generated content that is plausible and confidently stated but factually incorrect or unsupported by any source, arising from a model's objective of producing likely text rather than verified text.
- Model Evaluation (model-evaluation): Model evaluation is the practice of measuring output quality against a fixed dataset and defined criteria, using automated metrics, model-based grading or human review, so that changes can be compared objectively.
- Inference (inference): Inference is the process of running a trained model on new input to produce output. In production AI systems it accounts for the majority of ongoing compute cost.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) (mcp): The Model Context Protocol is an open standard defining how AI applications discover and invoke external tools, resources and prompts through a common interface, so an integration built once works across any compatible client.
- AI Agent (ai-agent): An AI agent is a system in which a language model operates in a loop (deciding on an action, invoking a tool, observing the result and deciding again) to accomplish a multi-step goal with limited human intervention.
- Programmatic SEO (programmatic-seo): Programmatic SEO is the practice of generating many search-targeted pages from a structured dataset combined with page templates, so that each combination of entities produces a page addressing a specific query.
- Canonical URL (canonical-url): A canonical URL is the version of a page a site designates as authoritative using a rel=canonical link element, telling search engines which address to index when equivalent content is reachable at multiple URLs.
- Structured Data (structured-data): Structured data is standardised markup, most commonly Schema.org vocabulary in JSON-LD format, that explicitly describes the entities and relationships on a page so machines can interpret it without inference.
- Internal Linking (internal-linking): Internal linking is the practice of connecting pages within a single domain so that crawlers can discover them and ranking authority flows between them, guided by descriptive anchor text.
- Crawl Budget (crawl-budget): Crawl budget is the volume of pages a search engine crawls on a site in a given timeframe, determined by the site's perceived importance and by how efficiently the server responds.
- Core Web Vitals (core-web-vitals): Core Web Vitals are three field-measured metrics: Largest Contentful Paint for loading, Interaction to Next Paint for responsiveness, and Cumulative Layout Shift for visual stability.
- llms.txt (llms-txt): llms.txt is a markdown file served at a site's root that provides language models with a concise, curated index of the site's most useful content, including links to clean text versions of key pages.
- Zero Trust (zero-trust): Zero trust is a security architecture in which no user, device or network location is trusted implicitly; every access request is authenticated, authorised and continuously validated against policy.
- Single Sign-On (SSO) (single-sign-on): Single sign-on lets users authenticate once with a central identity provider and access multiple applications without re-entering credentials, typically implemented with SAML or OpenID Connect.
- SOC 2 (soc-2): SOC 2 is an auditing framework assessing a service organisation's controls against trust services criteria (security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy), resulting in an independent auditor's report.
- Bridge Round (bridge-round): A bridge round is capital raised between two priced funding rounds, usually structured as a convertible note or SAFE, meant to extend runway until the company hits a milestone that justifies a full priced round.
- Down Round (down-round): A down round is a priced equity round completed at a lower valuation than the company achieved in its prior round, signalling that the market — or the company's own performance since — no longer supports the earlier price.
- Cap Table (cap-table): A capitalisation table (cap table) is a record of a company's securities — common stock, preferred stock across funding rounds, options and warrants — showing who holds them and what percentage of the company each represents, both today and on a fully diluted basis.
- Liquidation Preference (liquidation-preference): A liquidation preference is a contractual right, held by preferred shareholders (typically investors), to receive a specified multiple of their investment back before common shareholders (typically founders and employees) receive anything in an acquisition, liquidation or other exit event.
- Pre-Money Valuation (pre-money-valuation): Pre-money valuation is the value assigned to a company before a new round of investment is added to its balance sheet. Post-money valuation is simply pre-money plus the new capital raised.
- Post-Money Valuation (post-money-valuation): Post-money valuation is a company's value immediately after a funding round closes: pre-money valuation plus the amount of new capital raised. It is the figure most commonly reported in funding announcements.
- SAFE (safe-note): A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is an investment contract in which an investor provides capital now in exchange for the right to receive equity later, typically when the company raises a priced round, without setting a fixed valuation at the time of investment.
- Convertible Note (convertible-note): A convertible note is a loan that converts into equity — typically at the company's next priced financing round — rather than being repaid in cash, usually carrying an interest rate and a maturity date like conventional debt.
- Term Sheet (term-sheet): A term sheet is a short, largely non-binding document setting out the proposed terms of an investment — valuation, amount raised, liquidation preference, board seats, protective provisions and other rights — before lawyers draft the binding legal agreements.
- Vesting Cliff (vesting-cliff): A vesting cliff is the initial period of a vesting schedule during which no equity vests at all; if the holder leaves before the cliff date, they forfeit the entire unvested grant. After the cliff, a portion vests immediately and the remainder typically vests monthly or quarterly.
- Dilution (dilution): Dilution is the reduction in an existing shareholder's percentage ownership of a company that occurs when the company issues new shares — most commonly to raise capital in a new funding round, or to fund a new option pool for employees.
- On-Target Earnings (OTE) (on-target-earnings): On-Target Earnings (OTE) is the total compensation a salesperson would earn if they hit 100% of their assigned sales quota: base salary plus the full variable/commission component. It is not a guarantee — it is what full quota attainment pays.
- Total Compensation (total-compensation): Total compensation is the combined annualised value of every component of a job offer — base salary, target bonus, the annualised value of equity grants, and quantifiable benefits — rather than any single component in isolation.
- Signing Bonus (signing-bonus): A signing bonus is a one-time cash payment made to a new employee, typically on or shortly after their start date, most often used to offset unvested equity or an annual bonus forfeited by leaving a previous employer, or simply to close the gap in a competitive offer negotiation.
- Equity Vesting Schedule (equity-vesting-schedule): An equity vesting schedule is the timeline governing when a recipient earns full ownership of granted stock options or restricted stock, most commonly four years with a one-year cliff followed by monthly or quarterly vesting for the remainder.
- At-Will Employment (at-will-employment): At-will employment means either the employer or the employee can terminate the working relationship at any time, for any reason that is not illegal (such as discrimination), and without advance notice, unless an employment contract, collective bargaining agreement or specific statute states otherwise.
- Non-Compete Clause (non-compete-clause): A non-compete clause is a contractual restriction preventing an employee, for a defined period and often within a defined geography, from working for a competing employer or starting a competing business after leaving their current employer.
- Copyleft License (copyleft-license): A copyleft license is an open-source license that grants broad rights to use, modify and distribute software on the condition that any distributed derivative work is released under the same license terms — most notably the GNU General Public License (GPL) family.
- Permissive License (permissive-license): A permissive license is an open-source license — most commonly MIT, Apache 2.0 or a BSD variant — that allows software to be used, modified and redistributed with minimal conditions, including incorporation into closed-source, proprietary products, typically requiring only that the original copyright and license notice be preserved.
- Semantic Versioning (semantic-versioning): Semantic Versioning (semver) is a versioning scheme in the format major.minor.patch, where major version increments signal breaking changes, minor increments signal backward-compatible new functionality, and patch increments signal backward-compatible bug fixes.
- Monorepo (monorepo): A monorepo is a single version-control repository that holds the source code for multiple distinct projects or services — as opposed to a "polyrepo" approach, where each project lives in its own separate repository.
- Rule of 40 (rule-of-40): The Rule of 40 is a SaaS benchmark stating that a healthy company's revenue growth rate (as a percentage) plus its profit margin (typically measured as EBITDA or free cash flow margin) should sum to 40% or more.
- SaaS Magic Number (magic-number): The SaaS magic number measures sales efficiency: the net new annualised recurring revenue generated in a quarter, divided by the sales and marketing spend of the prior quarter. A result above roughly 0.75–1.0 is generally read as efficient enough to justify increasing go-to-market investment.
- SaaS Quick Ratio (quick-ratio-saas): The SaaS Quick Ratio is calculated as (new MRR + expansion MRR) divided by (churned MRR + contraction MRR) for a given period. A ratio above 4 is generally considered strong; below 1 means the company is shrinking.
- Logo Churn (logo-churn): Logo churn is the percentage of customer accounts ("logos") lost during a period, calculated independent of each account's revenue size — as opposed to revenue churn, which weights losses by dollar value.
- Cohort Analysis (cohort-analysis): Cohort analysis groups customers by a shared starting point — typically the month they signed up — and tracks how that specific group's behaviour (retention, spend, engagement) changes over subsequent months, rather than looking at the whole customer base's aggregate metrics in each period.
- Expansion Revenue (expansion-revenue): Expansion revenue is additional recurring revenue generated from an existing customer base — through plan upgrades, add-on purchases, seat or usage growth — as distinct from new revenue from newly acquired customers.
- Agentic AI (agentic-ai): Agentic AI describes systems built on language models that autonomously plan a sequence of actions, call external tools or APIs, observe the results, and adjust their next steps to pursue a defined goal — as opposed to a standard chat interaction that produces one response to one prompt.
- Multimodal Model (multimodal-model): A multimodal model is a machine learning model capable of processing input, generating output, or both, across more than one modality — commonly some combination of text, images, audio and video — within a single unified model rather than requiring separate models stitched together.
- Quantization (quantization): Quantization is the process of reducing the numerical precision used to store and compute a model's weights — for example converting 16-bit floating-point values to 8-bit or 4-bit integers — which shrinks the model's memory footprint and can significantly speed up inference, usually at a small cost to output quality.
- System Prompt (system-prompt): A system prompt is a set of instructions provided to a language model, separate from the user's own messages, that establishes its role, tone, constraints and behaviour for the remainder of a conversation — typically set by the application developer rather than the end user.
- Function Calling (function-calling): Function calling (also called tool use) is a capability that lets a language model, given a description of available functions and their parameters, output a structured request to invoke one of those functions with specific argument values — which the surrounding application then executes and returns the result of.
- Knowledge Cutoff (knowledge-cutoff): A knowledge cutoff is the date up to which a language model's training data was collected. The model has no inherent awareness of anything that happened after that date unless the information is provided to it directly in a prompt or retrieved from an external, up-to-date source.
- Observability (observability): Observability is the degree to which a system's internal state can be understood and diagnosed from the external outputs it produces — commonly built from three data types: logs (discrete event records), metrics (numeric measurements over time), and traces (the path of a single request through a distributed system).
- Feature Flag (feature-flag): A feature flag (or feature toggle) is a configuration mechanism that allows a piece of application functionality to be enabled or disabled — often for specific users, percentages of traffic, or environments — without requiring a new code deployment.
- Blue-Green Deployment (blue-green-deployment): Blue-green deployment is a release strategy that maintains two identical production environments — one live ("blue") and one idle ("green"). A new version is deployed to the idle environment, tested, and then traffic is switched over to it, leaving the previous environment intact as an instant rollback option.
- P99 Latency (latency-p99): P99 latency is the response time value below which 99% of requests complete — equivalently, the slowest 1% of requests take longer than this figure. It is a percentile measurement, distinct from and generally far higher than average (mean) latency.
