What people ask Canu
Plain questions in. Sourced, actionable answers out.
Canu is one agent with access to your company. Ask it the way you would ask a finance lead who already read every invoice.
Extend runway
“Get us from 11 to 16 months without touching payroll.”
Canu works backward from the target, ranks every path by damage, and tracks progress against the goal until it lands.
- Target-first planning against your real cash and net burn
- Non-payroll levers ranked by benefit, risk and reversibility
- Progress tracked on verified savings only
Reduce burn
“Cut $30K a month, but don’t slow growth.”
Constraints are honored as standing rules. Protected teams and vendors stay off the table in every future plan.
- Durable constraints remembered across conversations
- Category attribution for every dollar of change
- Growth-critical vendors excluded automatically
Find wasted spend
“Why are we paying Datadog so much?”
Seat counts against active users, duplicate tools, forgotten subscriptions, and abnormal vendor spend — with the source of every number.
- Seats vs. actual usage across every SaaS vendor
- Duplicate and overlapping tooling detection
- Renewal warnings before a contract locks in
Model decisions
“Can we afford three engineers if revenue drops 15%?”
Scenario math on your real numbers, answered in seconds instead of a rebuilt spreadsheet.
- Deterministic scenario math, not model guesswork
- Hiring, pricing and churn sensitivities
- Runway impact stated before and after
