See which customers, products, and activities actually drive your profit, and where it leaks. An operating model built with AI, run by your finance team.

An operating model of your business showing which customers, products, and activities drive your profit, and where it leaks. A profitability engine does the calculation; and the AI you already use can now drive it. Run by your finance team. Most operationally complex businesses run on a P&L that aggregates everything above the gross margin line, then aggregates everything below it. It tells you whether last quarter was good or bad. It doesn't tell you which customers were quietly subsidising others, which products earned their place on the shelf, or which operational activities consumed margin you can't see. Attributing cost properly answers all of it, and that is exactly the work most…from costctrl.com

  We built PriceLevel to find out what companies pay for SaaS2024 · pricelevel.com · ▲532

  Hey HN! Christine and Steven here. As a PM and engineer, we’ve both evaluated and purchased a lot of software. One of the biggest frustrations was figuring out how much it would cost us without having to go through the sales process. When we did have a quote, we had no idea if we were getting a good deal or ripped off. We built a site where you can see what other companies are actually paying for SaaS and enterprise software. Buyers contribute prices via quotes, pricing proposals, and other documentation to ensure quality. We unlocked Talkdesk for Show HN users so that you can use the…

  I got laid off from Meta and created a minor hit on Steam▲1,581

  I was at FB/Meta from late 2013 to early 2023, mostly working in the compiler/runtime spaces. I got hit in the spring 2023 layoff wave. I immediately started making games in my newfound free time (a lifelong interest, and I even worked in AA(A?) back ca. ~2000), and in October 2023 I stumbled upon the idea of a roguelike pachinko/plinko game inspired by Luck Be A Landlord. Things snowballed quickly, I started talking to publishers, then worked like crazy through all of 2024, almost the hardest I've ever worked in my career, and launched the game in December 2024.
