Read your ecommerce P&L in three numbers: CM1, CM2 and net margin

Sarah Carusona's method for ecommerce founders who aren't finance people: your AI re-sorts every line of your P&L into CM1 (does the product make money), CM2 (does your marketing work) and net margin (does the business work), without changing a single number, ties it back to your net income, shows where every $100 goes, and names the bucket and the 2 to 3 lines to fix first.

What your AI will deliver

  • PL-CM.md: the re-sorted P&L table with every line's amount and % of revenue, and subtotals for revenue, CM1, CM2 and net margin
  • MAPPING.md: every original line, its amount and the bucket it went to, so totals can be checked
  • QUESTIONS.md: every line the agent was unsure about, with the person's answer
  • TIE-OUT.md: net margin vs the P&L's net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, with any gap shown
