A guide for running a small or medium-sized business, covering pricing, margins, break-even points, cash forecasts, inventory, supplier terms, and operating measures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set prices, calculate margins and break-even points, forecast 13 weeks of cash, estimate runway, manage working capital, track simple KPIs, and plan seasonal spending.
Why use it?
It helps connect business decisions to both profit and available cash. That matters because a business can appear profitable while running out of money before customers pay.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sme-operations scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

SME Operations (pricing, break-even, cash, KPIs)

Cash first — profit second

SMEs die of cash, not of losses. A profitable business with 60-day receivables and 30-day payables funds its own growth out of pocket and can fail while the P&L looks fine. Every operational decision (pricing, terms, inventory, hiring) gets checked against the cash forecast before the margin math.

runway (months) = cash on hand / average monthly net cash burn
cash conversion cycle = days inventory + days receivable − days payable

A 13-week rolling cash forecast is the core instrument: weekly buckets, actual opening balance, committed inflows (invoices by expected — not due — date), committed outflows (payroll, rent, tax, suppliers), updated weekly against actuals. Taxes (VAT, payroll withholding) are the classic omission: cash that sits in the account but is already owed.

Pricing and margin structure

gross margin % = (price − direct cost) / price          ← margin is on PRICE
markup %       = (price − direct cost) / direct cost    ← markup is on COST
price for target margin m: price = direct cost / (1 − m)

Confusing markup with margin understates price systematically (50% markup = 33% margin). Direct cost must be fully loaded: materials, direct labor at true hourly cost (wages + taxes + benefits), payment fees, shipping, returns/spoilage. Cost-plus is the floor; price to value where the market allows, and test — SMEs almost universally underprice, and a price rise loses less volume than owners fear. Rule of thumb: a business with healthy demand and zero complaints about price is priced too low.

Break-even

contribution margin per unit = price − variable cost per unit
break-even units   = fixed costs / contribution margin per unit
break-even revenue = fixed costs / contribution margin %

Classify costs honestly: rent, salaries, insurance, software = fixed; materials, transaction fees, commissions, freight = variable. Semi-fixed steps (the next hire, the next machine) create a new break-even — recompute at each step, don't average across it. Use break-even for decisions: new hire = added fixed cost ÷ contribution margin = extra units needed; can the pipeline deliver that?
