Stop asking if your numbers are good. Ask who’s reading them.
A 26-month CAC payback read as “playing long” to a 2021 growth partner and un-fundable to a 2024 efficiency fund. Same number, opposite verdicts. kpi-advisor reads your metrics through the investor lens you pick, grades every one against a dated benchmark, and refuses to tell you they look fine.
For founders who can calculate their numbers but cannot yet read them the way the person across the table reads them — and for operators whose business does not run on SaaS maths at all.
opvs skills install @di-atomic/kpi-advisorThen say “read my numbers like a CFO”, “would these pass a Series A?”, or “we have four months of runway, what do I do?”
The difference a benchmark makes
An un-anchored hedge. It launders a leaky bucket as health and gives you permission to do nothing for another quarter.
A position, the dated benchmark that grades it, and what evidence would change the read. A script fails the output if the hedge comes back.
Anti-sycophancy is the product here, not a tone setting.
What you actually get
Four lenses, never picked silently
Growth VC, efficiency fund, bootstrapper, or regulated B2B distributor. It asks which one you want, because silently assuming growth-VC is how a bootstrapper ends up chasing somebody else’s metric.
Every verdict carries a citation
Each HEALTHY, WATCH or CRITICAL call points at a specific dated benchmark, so you can check whether it even fits your segment and year. Benchmarks repriced after 2023; most advice did not.
It will not invent a number
If a metric is missing from every source, it asks you for it or refuses to produce the brief. A guessed KPI delivered with confidence is the most dangerous output this skill could hand you.
Inside the read
One read, start to finish
you → "read my numbers like a CFO"
→ gathers: GA4 + PostHog MCP, or typed, or from peers
→ branches on business model FIRST
→ asks which investor lens (never assumes)
→ benchmarks each metric against the CURRENT year
→ surfaces red flags, capped at 3 ranked fixes
→ hands back a 5-part board talk-track
Recommendations are capped at three on purpose. A list of eleven priorities is a list of zero priorities.
Where it stops
I built this by dogfooding the same stack I run for clients.
kpi-advisor is one skill in the system behind Di-Atomic — the marketing & compliance agency that runs cognitoAI, SpiderIQ and OPVS. The distributor lens exists because my own clients sell regulated product to accounts that re-order, and every SaaS-trained advisor I pointed at their numbers produced confident, well-formatted, wrong answers.
