A real board meeting, word for word
The company is made up. Everything the board says below is what it actually answered on October 23, 2026, with the same prompts and models as your free first meeting. Nothing rewritten, nothing picked for looks.
What the board knows (the sample company profile)
Acme Analytics · B2B SaaS · Seed
Product analytics for small B2B SaaS teams. One founder plus one contract engineer. 120 paying customers on a single $29/month plan (about $3,500 MRR), growing 4% a month, 4% monthly churn. 9 months of runway from a small pre-seed. Most signups come from our blog's pricing-page teardowns. Direct competitors charge $49 to $99 a month.
Should we raise our price from $29 to $49 a month?
- Approve
Mike
Chief Technology Officer
Two to three weeks of engineering for one contract engineer to add a $49 plan in Stripe, implement upgrade/downgrade flows, and update the pricing page. The founder should handle QA and rollout testing.
Blind spot: Higher churn risk if value doesn't rise; plan migrations and upgrade messaging may be needed.
- Reject
Lara
Chief Product Officer
Raising to $49 risks churn before we prove enough value. Onboarding at the current price hasn’t shown scalable value to justify a higher tier.
Blind spot: We haven't run a price-sensitivity test or value-based upgrades yet.
- Reject
Bill
Chief Financial Officer
Run a staged price uptick to $39 and measure churn vs signups over 3–6 months, given our 9-month runway, with existing customers grandfathered.
Blind spot: You have no elasticity data; price sensitivity in this segment is unknown and could break retention.
- Reject
Sofia
Chief Marketing Officer
We have 120 customers with 4% monthly churn; a $20 price lift could hurt pricing-page teardowns signups more than it improves revenue given our growth pace.
Blind spot: No price-elasticity test tied to teardown content to quantify willingness-to-pay.
- Reject
Jordan
Chief Operating Officer
Price up would spike founder workload and support needs; we’re onboarding ~5 new signups/month and losing ~5 customers monthly with only a contract engineer. Founder onboarding/support currently consumes about 10 hours/month.
Blind spot: We underestimate how price signaling affects activation work and support load.
