5. Benchmark against industry standards

### 3. Revenue Forecasting

1. Review prior year actuals
2. Set revenue targets by segment
3. Allocate costs by department
4. Build monthly cash flow projection
5. Define variance thresholds and review cadence

### 5. SaaS Health Check

2. Run `metrics_calculator.py` to compute ARR, LTV, LTV:CAC, NRR, payback
3. Run `quick_ratio_calculator.py` if expansion/churn MRR available
4. Benchmark each metric against stage/segment via `benchmarks.md`
5. Flag CRITICAL/WATCH metrics and recommend top 3 actions

### 6. SaaS Unit Economics Projection
1. Take current MRR, growth rate, churn rate, CAC from user
2. Run `unit_economics_simulator.py` to project 12 months forward
3. Assess runway, profitability timeline, and growth trajectory

- Forecasts → 3 scenarios with probability weights
- All models include key assumptions section

## Success Metrics

- **Forecast Accuracy:** Revenue forecasts within 5% of actuals over trailing 4 quarters
- **Valuation Precision:** DCF valuations within 15% of market transaction comparables
