The mountain, mapped

apply asc 842 to a saas company's lease portfolio — office, data center, equipment — classify each as finance or operating, compute initial lease liability and rou asset using ibr, build the monthly amortization and interest schedule, and produce footnote disclosures with weighted-average term and discount rate.

distinguish asc 985-20 (software developed to be sold/licensed externally — on-prem licenses) from asc 350-40 (internal-use, including hosted saas) and apply the correct capitalization model. build the technological-feasibility test, amortization schedule, and disclosure framework for software products sold separately.

compute burn multiple (sacks), rule of 40 (and r1/r2 variants), and supporting capital-efficiency metrics for a saas company at every stage. produce a board-ready dashboard with benchmarks by arr tier and clear interpretation guardrails for fundraising, secondary, and lender discussions.

build month-acquired cohorts and produce retention curves, expansion curves, and dollar-based net retention waterfalls. survive board and investor due diligence with clean definitions, reconciliation to subscription revenue, and forward-looking implied ltv by cohort.
