Planner
Three planning sub-modules in one connected system: revenue modeling, budgeting, and hiring plans. Every plan updates your runway calculation automatically so you see the financial impact of decisions before you commit.
The problem
Revenue projections live in one spreadsheet, budgets in another, and hiring plans in a third. None of them talk to each other, and none of them connect to your runway number. When you model a hire, you have to manually recalculate the budget impact and runway effect.
The solution
The Planner combines revenue modeling, budget management, and hiring plans in one connected system. Model MRR growth and see how it affects runway. Set budgets and track variance against actuals. Plan hires and see the exact runway cost, all in three tabs that share the same underlying data.
Revenue Planning Tab
Model MRR growth with base MRR, growth rate, and churn rate. The MRR waterfall shows new, expansion, churn, and net movement. A month-by-month revenue projection table keeps the math visible, and the runway impact card shows how revenue growth extends runway. The Forecast vs Actual chart overlays projected MRR on actual MRR from monthly snapshots and carries a rolling accuracy score so founders calibrate assumptions with facts, not guesswork.
Budget Planning Tab
Create budgets with line items by category, payroll, tools, commitments, revenue, and funding. Budget vs Actual (BvA) variance analysis lists every line with severity-colored rows: critical above 25%, warning above 10%, on track at 10% or below. Favorability follows finance logic: over budget is unfavorable for expenses, under target is unfavorable for revenue. Inline variance notes capture context per line ("Added Intercom mid-month, normalizes next month") and persist with the budget. Open the drill-down modal from any line to inspect the actual transactions behind the variance, individual team members, tools, or deals driving the number. Department expense aggregation rolls payroll by department and maps tools from category to department.
Hiring Planning Tab
Plan future hires with role, department, start date, and projected salary. The runway impact of planned hires compares current runway to adjusted runway with every planned hire applied, respects staggered start dates, and charts monthly burn trajectory with the incremental cost from hires layered in. The hiring timeline is a compact list of start dates, department badges, and monthly cost so scheduling stays as clear as the runway math.
Forecast vs Actual (Revenue)
Projected MRR from your model sits on the same chart as actual MRR pulled from monthly snapshots. The rolling accuracy score summarizes how closely founder-defined projections track reality, deterministic, reviewable, and ready for board questions.
How it works
Revenue tab
Set base MRR, growth rate, and churn; review the waterfall, projection table, runway impact card, and forecast vs actual chart against monthly snapshots.
Budget tab
Build budgets by category, read the BvA variance table with severity and favorability, add inline notes, and drill into transactions when a line needs explanation.
Hiring tab
Add roles with department, start date, and salary; review runway with and without the plan plus the hiring timeline and burn trajectory.
