What problem does it solve?

Margin Analyzer helps you determine whether your pricing is keeping up with rising costs and whether each product or service is actually profitable based on your revenue and direct costs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unit economics by product/service: Calculates revenue, COGS, gross profit, gross margin %, and revenue/cost per unit so you can see profitability where it matters.
  • Data-backed pricing scenarios: Models revenue and margin under +5%, +10%, and +15% price changes using historical correlation (or controlled assumptions when history is limited).
  • Benchmarking and data-quality transparency: Compares margins to industry gross margin ranges and explicitly flags limitations like missing item-level COGS or short pricing history.

Quick Start

Ask: "Analyze my margins by product using QuickBooks and show unit economics plus pricing scenarios for the next price increases."

Frequently Asked Questions about margin-analyzer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze unit economics by product using QuickBooks data?

You can analyze unit economics by importing QuickBooks revenue and COGS data to compute gross margins, revenue per unit, and unit-level profitability for each product or service.

Can I model pricing scenarios to see how price increases affect gross margin?

Yes, you can model pricing scenarios by projecting revenue and gross margin changes under +5%, +10%, and +15% price increases using historical correlation or controlled assumptions.

Do I need item-level COGS data to evaluate product profitability?

Item-level COGS data is required for precise product profitability evaluation. If missing, the analysis explicitly flags this data quality limitation alongside the computed gross margins.

Can I use a CSV file instead of QuickBooks for margin analysis?

Yes, you can use a CSV file as a fallback for margin analysis. The CSV import requires an expected schema to map revenue and COGS data for unit economics calculations.

How are my gross margins compared to industry benchmarks?

Your gross margins are compared to industry benchmark ranges during the QuickBooks pre-flight industry profiling step, providing context for your product or service profitability.

What are the limitations of using scenario math for pricing decisions?

Scenario math limitations include relying on short pricing history or missing item-level COGS, which restricts correlation accuracy. The analysis outputs margin projections without recommending specific prices.
