Modeling a pricing change

See what a price change does before you ship it

Model a price increase or a new tier as an initiative and watch the effect on revenue, churn, and runway before it goes live.

The problem

Why this is hard today

A price change touches new revenue, expansion, and churn all at once. In a spreadsheet you change one number and hope the second-order effects come out right, then find out a quarter later whether they did.

How YourCFO handles it

Model the decision, not the cell

  1. 1

    Model the new pricing

    Set the new price or tier as an initiative with its own assumptions.

  2. 2

    Factor the trade-offs

    Layer in the churn or conversion effect you expect, so the upside is not just the sticker increase.

  3. 3

    See the net on runway

    Watch how the change nets out across revenue and cash before you commit to it.

If

you raise prices 15 percent and assume a small churn bump

Then

you see the net revenue and runway effect instantly, not a quarter later.

Ship the pricing change knowing the number it actually moves, not the one you hoped it would.

See it on your own numbers

Model your next decision and watch the runway move, then let variance tell you how it landed.
