Model My Business
This Launch Pad turns your validation data into a business model you can stress-test: a revenue model, your unit economics, three pricing scenarios, and a Profit First plan, compiled onto one page. It does not replace the thinking. It accelerates it.
Bring to the session
- Your sales data from LP 1.5, actual numbers, not projections
- Your pricing from LP 1.4
- Your audience data from LP 1.6 (if completed)
- Your MVE description (from Chapters 2 and 3)
- Your delivery cost estimates (be honest, include your time)
- Your target monthly income (not a fantasy number, what you actually need to cover your life)
- Competitor pricing, if you have it (from Chapter 6, Role 1)
What you walk away with
a recommended revenue model with reasoning, a complete unit economics breakdown with every cost line itemised, three pricing scenarios with break-even analysis, a monthly customer target checked against your available time, a value equation analysis across the four drivers, DACH-specific tax and social insurance adjustments, a Profit First allocation plan, and a one-page business model summary.
The AI does the arithmetic. You supply the real numbers, and you are the one who has to say the price out loud. Run the flinch test from Section 3 on the finished model: if your final price does not make you flinch, the AI set it too low. Override it.
The guided version opens with The Builder's Desk
A 4-step guided session that structures the work, saves your outputs, and connects them across chapters. Until then, the full briefing is in your copy of the book — it works with any capable AI assistant.
From the book: Save this output, you will need it for LP 1.8 and LP 4.5. This is your v1 financial model. You will rebuild it with real data in LP 4.5 when you have 6+ months of revenue history. Your revenue model and unit economics feed directly into your Kill-or-Commit decision in the next chapter.
