I've been playing around with a lot of SaaS ideas in my head and needed a tool that would allow me to play around with different pricing strategies. I hope this tool will help someone on their journey to creating a SaaS company.
Modeling growth acceleration (and number of net adds expected at n% growth) would be very cool. I am also playing around with adding salaries and when, not sure how to add it in this UI, but that's about the only other thing I try and model at the moment.
- Most businesses have fixed costs, like developer salaries.
- Some products are paid for in arrears (e.g. 30/60 days after invoice)
- Many SaaS businesses have multiple products with different characteristics. You could allow people to add multiple products, each with LTV/CAC/churn etc. If you're feeling ambitious you could even add a way to express 'x℅ of customers using product A this month will upgrade to product B from next month'. Like churn, but adding to a different income stream.

I'm not sure if you've thought of this / have it in the works, but a way of saving a set of scenarios would be really nice :)
You could probably just store them using a permalink or something
