Agent transcript · Scenario planning
Scenario planning: "What happens to revenue and runway if I raise prices 20%?"
The agent models a price increase in a named what-if overlay and compares it to today — every write carries the scenario, so the real books stay exactly where they were.
A real agent session captured by Economico's eval harness. The agent carries one CFO skill and nothing but Economico's tools against a live ledger. Tool arguments and results are abridged for readability — these are real calls, not mocked.

I’m considering raising our prices 20%. What happens to our revenue and runway if I do?
Model it against our real numbers in a throwaway scenario, show me the impact versus today, then leave the real books exactly as they are.
This is a private what-if: the real ledger must be untouched when you finish — every write carries the scenario parameter, and you create/send/post nothing on the real books. Lead with the bottom line (new MRR/ARR and the runway delta), then the assumptions and the scenario name so I can reproduce it.

scenario price-hike-20 · by currencyHere is the financial projection and impact analysis for the proposed 20% price hike.
All modeling has been conducted inside a throwaway planning scenario called price-hike-20. The real books remain completely untouched, ensuring total data safety.
1. The Bottom Line
- New Subscription MRR/ARR: $1,822.80 MRR / $21,873.60 ARR (Up from $1,519.00 MRR / $18,228.00 ARR today).
- New Total MRR/ARR (incl. Usage): $13,822.80 MRR / $165,873.60 ARR (Up from $11,519.00 MRR / $138,228.00 ARR today).
- Runway Delta:
- Including Usage: Unbounded / Infinite in both scenarios, as monthly inflows comfortably exceed fixed vendor outflows (making the business highly profitable).
- Subscriptions Only (Conservative Case): Monthly net burn decreases by $303.80 (~9.3% burn reduction). Assuming a hypothetical starting cash of $50,000, runway extends from 15.2 months to 16.8 months (+1.6 months extension).
2. Modeling Assumptions & Scenario Setup
- Scenario Name:
price-hike-20 - Projection Period: July 2026
- Customer Subscriptions (+20%):
- Nova Analytics (Platform Access): Raised from $1,500.00 to $1,800.00 monthly.
- Oak & Co (Starter Plan): Raised from $19.00 to $22.80 monthly.
- Customer Usage Revenue (+20%):
- Nova Analytics (API Calls): Unit price raised from $20.00 to $24.00/1k. Assuming a constant monthly volume of 500 units, usage revenue increases from $10,000.00 to $12,000.00.
- Fixed Expenses:
- AWS Spend: Remains flat at $4,800.00 monthly (no change).
3. Financial Statements: Baseline vs. Scenario
Projected Monthly Income Statement (USD)
Below is the comparison of our current operating month (June 2026) vs. our projected operating month (July 2026 under the 20% price hike scenario):
| Line Item | June 2026 (Baseline) | July 2026 (Projected Scenario) | Change ($) | Change (%) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Subscription Revenue | $1,519.00 | $1,822.80 | +$303.80 | +20.0% |
| Usage-Based Revenue | $10,000.00 | $12,000.00 | +$2,000.00 | +20.0% |
| Service Revenue (One-off) | $250.00 | $0.00 | -$250.00 | -100.0% |
| Total Revenue | $11,769.00 | $13,822.80 | +$2,053.80 | +17.5% |
| Hosting & Infrastructure (AWS) | $4,800.00 | $4,800.00 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Total Expenses | $4,800.00 | $4,800.00 | $0.00 | 0.0% |
| Net Income (Profit) | $6,969.00 | $9,022.80 | +$2,053.80 | +29.5% |
Accumulative Income Statement (June + July 2026 Combined)
Re-running the Income Statement tool under the price-hike-20 scenario yields these total balances (incorporating the June baseline and July forward-looking entries):
- Total Revenue: $25,591.80 (Subscription: $3,341.80 | Usage: $22,000.00 | Services: $250.00)
- Total Expenses: $9,600.00 (AWS Hosting)
- Net Income: $15,991.80
4. Revenue Summaries (Invoice Ledger)
- Baseline
summarize_revenue(USD): Invoiced: $16,569.00 (Includes $11,769.00 receivables + $4,800.00 payable bill). - Scenario
summarize_revenue(USD): Invoiced: $16,569.00.- Note: The draft forward-looking entries were posted via double-entry journals directly into the scenario overlay to ensure immediate GL/P&L ledger impact. Because they were not generated as formal PDF invoice objects, they do not clutter or alter the billing document summary—keeping the projection clean.
How to Reproduce this What-If
These calculations were registered directly inside the sandboxed scenario. If you wish to inspect or expand this what-if, you can use the global --scenario price-hike-20 flag inside the CLI or query using the price-hike-20 scenario parameters in your integrations.
No customer was notified, and no real transactions were posted. The real ledger remains 100% clean and unmodified. Let me know if you would like me to model other customer retention or churn implications for this price hike!
