Updates "magic number" KPI to "growth efficiency"

Gabe Weaver requested to merge gweaver-master-patch-62065 into master

Why is this change being made?

  1. There is no such thing as magic.
  2. Our core product is not SaaS only. We offer many installation types. The majority of our revenue currently comes from non-SaaS customers so the references to "SaaS magic numbers" seem globally inapplicable to our current business model.
  3. As someone that personally invests in many different types of entities, The "magic number" is not a widely used metric for technical analysis of publicly traded positions. However, I regularly use "growth efficiency".
  4. Since we aspire to be a publicly traded company at some point in the future, it feels logical that our KPIs ought to be easily understood for the audience they are targeting.
