For SaaS founders who need to know which customers and plans make money. Two weeks: cost to serve per tenant and plan, and gross margin by tier.
2 weeks
From billing and usage data to margin by tier
Which tenants and plans lose money, and the pricing, limits and metering changes that would fix it.

Read-only access
Nothing in your systems is changed during the audit.
The report is yours
Hand the fix list to anyone. It isn't tied to buying the follow-on.
Implementation is optional
Scoped from your findings, priced per package.
Who it's for
- Seed to Series B SaaS founders, often ahead of a raise or diligence
- Nobody can say which customers or plans lose money
- No usage metering, or metering nobody trusts
- Teams that want a product build. The audit measures cost to serve; it doesn't ship features.
- Teams that need a full financial model. The report covers margin by tier, not a forecast.
- Teams that want pricing strategy beyond cost to serve. The pricing review only flags where limits and prices miss what usage costs.
What the audit covers
Cost to serve per tenant and plan
What each customer and each plan costs you to run.
Gross margin by tier
Which tiers earn money and which ones lose it.
Pricing and limits review
Where plan limits and prices don't match what usage costs.
Metering gaps
Usage you can't measure today, and so can't price or limit. Ends with a priced fix list and a readout call.
Done means: the report is delivered with margin by tier.

Questions
How do I start?
Book a free 30-minute cost check. If the audit fits, I send a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal. If it doesn't, I'll say so.
Is this a financial audit?
No. It works from engineering, billing and usage data. Financial modelling is out of scope.
What does it cost?
A fixed price, quoted after the review call once the scope is clear.
Do we have to buy the follow-on?
No. You keep the report, and you can hand the fix list to anyone.
