Markets ranked by probability of profitable scale — led by the GP Ratio after accrued payout (Q/F) and its month-to-month consistency, then unit economics (CAC, LTV/CAC), acquisition volume (NCA) and revenue momentum. Already-scaled core markets are set aside so the analysis surfaces only the next bets.
Three plays, three risk profiles. The data resolves into archetypes, not a single winner. The decision is which kind of bet to fund at which budget.
1Scale Now — Thailand, Switzerland, Singapore, Turkey. Proven high-LTV economics ($210–$561 revenue per customer), steady GP ratios, and small current NCA — i.e. validated unit economics with real acquisition headroom. Turkey is the standout: CAC near $2.50 against $227 revenue/customer is an LTV/CAC ~90×, still growing.
2Pour Fuel — Philippines, Cambodia, UAE, Netherlands. Already mid-scale ($45–71K revenue, high NCA) with healthy economics. These need budget, not discovery — with payout discipline.
3Test & Expand — Cameroon, Tanzania, Kenya. Ultra-low CAC ($3–20) and explosive growth on tiny bases, but low absolute LTV and small ceilings. Fund as options, not core.
The GP Ratio decays in months 4–5 in nearly every market (Cambodia 1.00→0.43, Philippines 1.00→0.59, Turkey 1.00→0.55) as cohorts mature and accrued payouts land. A near-1.0 ratio in a young geo is partly "payouts haven't hit yet" — not durable margin. Underwrite new geos to a ~0.45–0.65 steady-state, and favour markets (Thailand, Switzerland) whose ratios hold high after the drag.
