The problem
You have a product idea and no way to see what it looks like financially: how you acquire customers, how you price it, and how it lands on top of your existing lines. So the decision to build gets made on conviction alone.
How YourCFO handles it

Configure organic, marketing-led, and sales-led channels with assumptions you can defend.
Watch how it layers onto your BAU forecast, revenue and cost together.
you launch a second product line
you can see its ramp, its cost to acquire, and its effect on total runway before committing engineering time.
Validate the business case with real projections, not vibes.
