Calculators, scorecards, and planning tools for small-business operators

Pick the question. Run the numbers. Leave with a memo.

BrainStack Studio helps founders pressure-test pricing, cash flow, ROI, staffing, vendor, lead, and process decisions. The public tools calculate from your inputs and show the assumptions behind the answer. AI-assisted features are Beta and provider-dependent. Roofing teams can use the vertical-arm pattern through MyRoofGenius.

Built From Operator Depth

Useful now. Built to grow.

BrainStack Studio starts with practical tools: pricing calculators, cash forecasts, ROI memos, staffing plans, vendor scorecards, and process drafts your team can review. As workflows mature, deeper integrations and provider-dependent AI assistance can layer in — with explicit approval gates, geospatial context for territory or route decisions, and trace logs preserved for every run.

Numbers and drafts instead of chatbot advice

You enter the numbers, constraints, and context. BSS returns a calculation, scorecard, or draft document with the assumptions shown.

Structured, reviewable runs

Every run shows the inputs, calculation notes, recommendation, and review trail. External actions still require a human decision.

Useful before integrations

The live product works as calculators, planners, scorers, and generators today. Deeper integrations and AI help are Beta and provider-dependent.

What is live today is the starting point. What is coming is larger — tools and integrations that stay useful, auditable, and accountable as your workflow grows.

Workflow Examples

Founders & CEOs

Pricing, cash flow, break-even, hiring. Run the numbers on every decision that matters before you commit.

Open Tools

Finance & Ops Leaders

Ship shareable forecasts and scenario comparisons with full audit trails your board will trust.

Open Cash Flow Forecaster

Department Heads

Workforce capacity, vendor evaluations, project health checks. Structured outputs for every operational call.

Open Workforce Planner
Paid Persona Fit

Built for the people who buy, evaluate, and use the outputs

Each paid path has a concrete first value, a named buyer question, and a paid workspace reason. BSS does not use vague AI promises as a substitute for working tools.

Founder / Operator

Which pricing, runway, hiring, and workflow decisions need structure before the next bet is made?

Paid plans save scenarios, preserve trace history, and turn one-off tool runs into a repeatable workflow.

Run Pricing Optimizer

Agency Owner

Which client delivery, proposal, staffing, and margin workflows need repeatable artifacts instead of manual assembly?

Paid plans organize client work, exports, and reusable decision artifacts so delivery quality scales with the team.

Draft an RFP response

Ops Leader

Where are handoffs, staffing, SOPs, project health, and vendor decisions slowing the workflow down?

Paid plans keep saved sessions, comparison exports, and repeatable workflow reviews available across teams.

Generate an SOP

Technical Evaluator (IT / Systems)

Can BSS produce deterministic outputs, clear traces, API controls, and implementation boundaries that hold up technically?

Pro adds API access, key-bound telemetry, JSON exports, and workflow chaining for serious evaluation.

See risk assessment example

Economic Buyer (Finance / Owner)

What does the team get for the subscription, what remains scoped, and how is value measured without exaggerated claims?

Pricing ties paid value to exports, saved history, API access, support, and scoped implementation instead of broad automation promises.

CONDITIONAL REVIEW — pilot only after local inputs are verified

Use your actual territory, labor, and cash assumptions before making the go/no-go call. This sample shows where approval gates appear; it is not a market forecast.

Confidence

Break-even

Calculated from inputs

Approval gate: Requires owner or CFO sign-off when your configured threshold is exceeded

Refresh: Re-run with current labor, cost, and market inputs before approval

Export formats: CSV table and JSON trace follow paid-plan access

Tool runs produce reviewable memos, tables, scores, recommendations, and trace notes. Here is the shape before you enter your own data.

Making decisions without data?

Pricing decisions made on gut feel instead of margin math

Cash flow surprises because nobody ran the 13-week forecast

Investment proposals that get rejected because the numbers are vague

Hiring decisions made without capacity data to back them up

BrainStack Studio replaces guesswork with structured answers. Here's how.

How It Works

From question to defensible answer — in one focused sitting.

A guided path that turns operational complexity into a clear, measurable improvement plan.

STEP 01

Discover

Pick the business question: pricing, cash runway, ROI, staffing, vendor risk, lead quality, or a draft operating document.

STEP 02

Run

Enter your own numbers and constraints. BSS calculates the result, flags assumptions, and writes next-step recommendations.

STEP 03

Compare

Compare scenarios such as best/base/worst cases, break-even points, utilization gaps, or vendor scores before committing.

STEP 04

Decide

Save the result, export on paid plans, and bring the memo, scorecard, forecast, or draft to the owner who decides.

Trust & Governance

Built for Real Operations

Business tools need controls. BSS shows the inputs and assumptions, keeps saved runs reviewable, and leaves final approval with your team.

Human Review Before Action

BSS supports the decision. It does not send emails, change policies, or move money from these public tools.

Inputs Stay Attached

Saved runs keep the inputs, outputs, recommendations, and notes together so a teammate can review the work later.

Clear Account Boundaries

Free visitors can run selected tools without an account. Saving history and exports require sign-in and plan access.

No Borrowed Proof

This funnel uses working tools, sample outputs, security notes, and product limits instead of fake logos or testimonials.

Measure What Matters

Use structured planning tools to baseline your operations and quantify improvement opportunities before committing resources.

1

Decision Cycle Time

Measure how fast critical workflows move from trigger to owner action.

Baseline vs post-implementation throughput

2

Exception Resolution

Track SLA adherence and escalation latency on high-priority events.

Queue health and owner accountability

3

Manual Rework Rate

Quantify how much repeat manual handling could be reduced by a documented workflow.

Operational quality and consistency

Calculations replace guesswork. Every tool shows the inputs, assumptions, and limits behind the result.

Proof, Not Promises

Reviewability from input to output. Every recommendation has a reason. Provider-dependent AI assistance stays behind the same review trail.

Built for Compliance

BrainStack Studio — calculators, scorecards, planning drafts, and saved review trails for small-business operations. AI assistance is Beta and provider-dependent; roofing teams can use the vertical arm, MyRoofGenius.
