Hey all,<p>At Profitably, we've been building a new tool for building out the numbers behind your business idea/forecast. Our initial approach was on analytics for your business -- but it turns out people aren't ready to understand customer profitability until they know what they should be looking for.<p>It would be an honor if you checked out our planning tool (forever free) and gave some pointed feedback. What do you like/hate? Would you consider recommending this to someone?<p><a href="http://app.profitably.com/plan_ahead" rel="nofollow">http://app.profitably.com/plan_ahead</a><p>Thanks in advance and I'm happy to answer questions here or via email -- graham.siener@profitably.com

I guess I don't see the point of this tool. You have to make wild guesses for every single metrics in there. Is it a MBA thing? Do people really find this useful?<p>EDIT: Maybe I got confused by the 'business plan' part. Is it intended for an established business? or for someone putting together a business plan for starting a business?

This site rendered my back button useless and trapped me on the site.

This is a neat little app. Went through the whole setup wizard in about 10 minutes, I could see myself playing with the different channels and adding more data as I have it for my startup. Integration with analytics and quickbooks would be great. Keep it up and I'd pay $49/mo for that.

You know what I want? Ad spending forecasting. If I spend a dollar more on display ads what am I going to get from it.

You have a very impressive list of tools you integrate with.<p>Minor bug: the "Watch the Planning Intro" box doesn't grow when the text size does; it just cuts off the text.<p>Mind hosting the planning intro video with a source that lets you embed HTML5 video and only fall back to Flash?
