Area: Monetization (audit p10) · Surface: /admin/gate?tab=dashboard · Dimension: feature-improvement · Severity: minor

Circle and Mighty Networks give creators a revenue dashboard with MRR over time, ARPU, trial conversion, and churn-rate trend — the metrics creators actually steer by. We compute trial_days (GateTier) and track trialing status but never report the trial-conversion rate, and MRR is shown as a single number with no trend line. Compared to the credit-economy admin (which already ships Chart.js trends and a Gini coefficient, AdminEconomyController.php), the paid-membership dashboard is under-instrumented for the revenue that matters most.

Evidence

GateSubscription::stats/revenue (src/Models/GateSubscription.php) and templates/admin/gate/dashboard.php surface active/past_due/new_30d/churned_30d and a computed MRR (dashboard.php:24-30,80-96). There is no LTV, no ARPU, no trial→paid conversion rate, and no time-series chart — the dashboard is a static stat strip. grep for LTV|ARPU|cohort|retention returns nothing in these files.

Suggested fix. Add an MRR/active-subscriber time-series chart (reuse the Chart.js pattern from /admin/economy and /account/credits), plus ARPU, blended churn rate, and trial→paid conversion derived from gate_subscriptions status transitions.

Filed by the automated tenant-app audit and adversarially evidence-verified. Status: verified. Open — not yet actioned.

This is live. Your membership dashboard now shows monthly recurring revenue with a 12-month trend chart, plus churn rate, trial-to-paid conversion, average revenue per subscriber (ARPU), and estimated lifetime value (LTV) — the metrics you steer by. We also fixed the churn and MRR figures that were reading as zero. Course subscriptions get the same dashboard under Admin, Courses, Subscriptions. Available on the Creator plan and up.
