## From README

Purpose Determine whether your SaaS business model is fundamentally viable and capital-efficient. Use this to calculate unit economics, assess profitability, manage cash runway, and decide when to scale vs. optimize. Essential for fundraising, board reporting, and making smart investment trade-offs. This is not a finance reporting tool—it's a framework for PMs to understand whether the business can sustain growth, when to prioritize efficiency over growth, and which investments have positive returns. Input Works best with: The question you're answering (can we scale? raise? extend runway?) or the metrics you want evaluated. Also useful: Your numbers — CAC, gross margin, burn, runway, magic number — partial data is workable. Anything supplied with the invocation itself — text after the skill name, a pasted context dump, or an appended ARGUMENTS: line — counts as answers already given. Use it and skip whatever it covers; don't re-ask. Arriving empty-handed? That works too.
