SaaS is a subscriber-count problem dressed as a revenue problem
This is Cadence Cloud — Subscription platform with an 85% gross margin where payroll is effectively the entire cost base. It was solved backwards from the target profit below, with Canada statutory tax, GST/HST and payroll on-costs already applied.

What your sector's numbers say
• Auziplan turns your profit target into the paying subscribers, ARPU and churn ceiling you must hit.
• Burn, runway and funding requirement are solved together, so you know the raise before you pitch it.
• Gross margin above 80% only helps if acquisition cost is modelled — the plan tests both at once.
High gross margin, but payroll is essentially the whole cost base.
