Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Looking at finances is important for understanding your business health. You'd want to look at revenue, expenses, margins, and maybe some growth trends. Different metrics matter depending on what stage you're at. What specific numbers are you most concerned about?
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS DASHBOARD: QUICK HEALTH CHECK (vs. plan): Revenue: 485K / 500K target (97% of plan) — SLIGHT MISS Gross Margin: 62% / 65% target (97 bp under) Operating Expenses: 320K / 300K target (6.7% over) — WATCH Cash Runway: 18 months from today (vs. 24m goal) BREAKDOWN BY SEGMENT: Product Sales: 310K (+8% MoM, on trend) Services Revenue: 130K (-2% MoM, declining) Licensing: 45K (new, too early to trend) EXPENSE ANALYSIS: Payroll: 215K (staffing right-sized) Marketing: 65K (CPA rising to 340 per customer, up 15%) Cloud/Infra: 28K (scaling OK) Other: 12K CASH IMPACT: • Month-end cash position: 3.2M (up from 3.1M, good) • 90-day AR: 95K (15% of revenue, normal) • Accounts payable: 140K (manageable) TOP 3 RISKS: ⚠ Payroll is 67% of OpEx → one bad quarter + hiring = squeeze ⚠ Services declining signals product shift working, but transition timing matters ⚠ Marketing ROI degradation → test channel mix next quarter RECOMMENDATION: On track for year. Trim marketing spend 8% next month to hit margin target, reinvest in product sales tools.
