Golden Ratio Business

Definitions

1. A heuristic phrase for a business whose growth, efficiency, and margins feel unusually well balanced rather than over-optimized on a single dimension. It is more investor shorthand than a formal metric.

   In plain English: A business that looks unusually well balanced across growth and efficiency.

   Example: "The company looked like a golden ratio business: solid growth, strong retention, and disciplined burn."
