   Feature Teaser

   Deep Dive: Dynamic Modeling & Data Integration

   “It can help you build a P&L model on a B2B SaaS startup, create four linked spreadsheet tabs: Assumptions, MRR Build, Cost Structure, and P&L Summary. Make each on a new sheet. For the business assumptions: 12-month forecast starting January 2024. Three pricing tiers (Starter $99/mo, Growth $299/mo, Enterprise $999/mo). Expected 20 new customers monthly. Customer acquisition cost of $1,250. 70/20/10 distribution across tiers. Team of 8 (2 sales, 3 engineering, 1 product, 1 marketing, 1 ops). Make all assumptions adjustable inputs with reasonable default values. Design the model to show month-by-month MRR growth, cohort seasonality, and unit economics. It can also help you format your models and maintain your formatting standards. It can also help you make the model fully auditable and easy to change. It can also help you fill in existing templates. So if your firm has existing templates that you want to get filled, it can help you do that. And it can help you create structured, repeatable deliverables, whether that's from a blank sheet or from an existing template, just like you'd expect from a professional analyst. It's really powerful when you work with existing ones. Normally, updating or navigating this would take hours, but Endex can do it in seconds, with the most recent earnings data. When you click on one of these citations, it will take you directly to the source document.”
