Short answer

How can I model pricing and cost scenarios with my AI?

You provide your current cost and pricing data to your agent, then ask it to run simulations based on different variables. It calculates the resulting margins and profit per customer so you can test new models before committing. You'll get a clear view of how COGS fluctuations affect your unit economics.

The outcomes of your simulations.

Where your data lands.

Running these scenarios gives you four specific ways to look at your business health.

PROFIT

New profit per customer

The AI calculates how much you actually keep after every variable changes. You get a direct look at your new unit economics.

MARGIN

Updated contribution margin

See how much of every dollar remains to cover fixed costs. This shows if a price drop is actually sustainable.

SENSITIVITY

Cost fluctuation impact

The AI identifies which specific cost drivers hurt your margins the most. You'll know exactly where your risk lies.

HUMAN

Strategic decisions

The AI handles the math, but you decide which pricing tier to launch. You use these numbers to set your actual business strategy.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

Your AI handles the heavy lifting of the math so you can focus on the strategy.

  1. Ingest cost data

    Your AI reads your current COGS, shipping, and acquisition costs from your provided files or sheets.

  2. Run margin math

    The AI calculates your current standing to establish a baseline for all future simulations.

    calculate_contribution_margin

  3. Simulate variables

    You tell the AI to change a specific number, like a 5% increase in shipping, and it re-runs the math instantly.

  4. Compare scenarios

    The AI presents the differences between your current state and your proposed changes side by side.

  • Calculate my contribution margin using the data in my 'Q3_Costs' spreadsheet.

  • What happens to my profit per customer if my COGS increases by 12%?

  • Run a simulation: if I lower my subscription price by $5, how much does my margin drop?

  • Compare my current margins against a scenario where shipping costs stay flat but acquisition costs rise by 10%.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my actual pricing in my store?

    No. The AI only performs calculations based on the data you provide. It cannot execute transactions or change live prices in your software.

  • 02

    Does the AI need access to my bank account?

    No. You only need to provide the cost and pricing data via a sheet or text, which the AI then processes.

  • 03

    Can I run these simulations offline?

    No. Your AI client needs to communicate with the MCP via the Vinkius connection to perform the calculations.

  • 04

    Will the AI delete my original spreadsheets?

    No. The AI only reads the data to perform math. It has no capability to delete or modify your source files.

  • 05

    Can it handle multiple currencies?

    Yes, as long as you provide the conversion rates or keep all data in a single consistent currency.
