Everything in the Clarity System, plus the forward-looking engine: a driver-based forecast, a 13-week cash model, and scenario planning that tells you what every decision does to cash before you make it.

What Growth Intelligence adds
The Clarity System answers "where are we". Growth Intelligence answers "where are we going, and can we afford the next move". We build a driver-based forecast off the numbers that actually move Sample Co.'s revenue, a rolling 13-week cash flow so the tight weeks show up before they arrive, and a live scenario planner. Now the owner can test a hire, a price change, or a new location on the model first, and watch what it does to cash twelve months out.

Read-out: hiring now lifts revenue $82k over the year but pulls the lowest cash week down to $14.6k, close to the safe floor. Pairing the hire with a modest 5% price increase funds the wage, protects cash, and lifts net margin to the strongest of the three. The model says hire, and move on price at the same time.

Where the leverage is
1. Capacity, not demand, is the ceiling
The insight
The base case runs at 96% delivery capacity by month 9. Growth stalls not for lack of leads, but for lack of hands.
The move
Hire ahead of the wall, timed to the cash model so the wage lands when cash can carry it.
2. Churn is quietly the cheapest growth lever
The insight
Cutting churn from 2.4% to 1.8% adds $26k a year with zero acquisition spend, the highest return per dollar of any driver.
The move
A retention review on the two at-risk segments the model flags before spending another dollar on leads.
Run this every month with an FP&A partner
Growth Intelligence is the engine. The FP&A Partner retainer is the person who runs it with you, refreshing the forecast, re-testing the scenarios, and sitting in the seat where a fractional CFO would, at a fraction of the cost.
