What-If Analysis
Model the decision before you make it
Every significant business decision is a bet on a number. NanoFora lets you change the number first — hires, price, churn, payment terms — and see the effect on cash, margin and runway before you commit.
Scenarios live in someone's head
"We could probably afford three more engineers." Probably, based on what? Without a model, scenario planning is confidence dressed as arithmetic, and the downside case is almost never written down.
How it works
- 1
Start from actuals
Scenarios build on your real financial baseline, not a blank template.
- 2
Change the variables
Adjust headcount, pricing, volume, cost inflation or payment terms.
- 3
Compare outcomes
See cash, margin, break-even and runway for each scenario next to each other.
Capabilities
Deterministic calculation
Outcomes are computed by explicit formulas, never generated text.
Multi-variable scenarios
Change several drivers at once and see combined effects.
Sensitivity analysis
Identify which variable your outcome is most exposed to.
Named scenarios
Save, revisit and share base, upside and downside cases.
Cash impact timeline
See when the effect actually lands, not just the annual total.
Assumption transparency
Every input is visible and editable by reviewers.
Where teams use it
- Sizing a hiring plan against runway
- Testing a price increase before announcing it
- Modelling the cost of extending customer payment terms
- Preparing a downside case for the board
Questions
- Are scenario results AI-generated?
- The calculations are deterministic. AI is used only to explain the results and suggest which variables to test.
- Can I share a scenario?
- Yes. Scenarios live in the company workspace and can be shared with colleagues who have access.
- How many variables can I change?
- As many as your model needs. Sensitivity analysis will tell you which ones actually matter.
