Finance approves stories they can edit. Offer calculators turn your value model into an interactive artifact that finance teams trust. By exposing inputs and ranges, you reduce back‑and‑forth, align on reality quickly, and move faster to “yes.”
Appendix in proposal (PDF link), a lightweight Google Sheet, or a built‑in page behind a short URL. Keep versions consistent across sales.
Lead with time‑to‑breakeven and impact per month. Finance gravitates to payback and cash flow. Keep the math simple and auditable.
What if finance asks for our model? Give a simplified sheet with editable inputs; keep proprietary formulas private. Transparency beats opacity.
We build standardized calculators that make approval simple for CFOs.
