cro-advisor is a Claude Code skill that models B2B SaaS revenue, pricing, churn, NRR, and sales capacity for developers who are designing or stress-testing a subscription revenue engine.

About

cro-advisor is a revenue-leadership skill (version 1.0.0, MIT, updated 2026-03-05) from alirezarezvani/claude-skills for B2B SaaS teams shaping forecasts, pricing, and retention metrics. It bundles two Python utilities—revenue_forecast_model.py and churn_analyzer.py—alongside frameworks for sales playbooks, pricing strategy, quota design, and board-ready ARR projections. When a developer or tech lead needs to evaluate pricing tiers, model net revenue retention, or size a sales team against capacity, the skill produces structured revenue guidance instead of spreadsheet guesswork. It triggers on CRO, NRR, churn, expansion revenue, and sales-model keywords and pairs naturally with helm-chart-builder or org-health skills when commercial and operational plans must align.

  • Revenue forecasting with weighted pipeline models
  • Pricing strategy frameworks including value-based and usage-based models
  • Net revenue retention (NRR) and churn analysis tools
  • Sales capacity planning, quota setting, and territory design
  • Board-ready revenue reporting and growth model templates

CRO Advisor

Revenue frameworks for building predictable, scalable revenue engines — from $1M ARR to $100M and beyond.

Keywords

Quick Start

Revenue Forecasting

python scripts/revenue_forecast_model.py

Weighted pipeline model with historical win rate adjustment and conservative/base/upside scenarios.

Churn & Retention Analysis

python scripts/churn_analyzer.py

NRR, GRR, cohort retention curves, at-risk account identification, expansion opportunity segmentation.

Diagnostic Questions

Ask these before any framework:

Revenue Health

  • What's your NRR? If below 100%, everything else is a leaky bucket.
  • What percentage of ARR comes from expansion vs. new logo?
  • What's your GRR (retention floor without expansion)?

Pipeline & Forecasting

  • What's your pipeline coverage ratio (pipeline ÷ quota)? Under 3x is a problem.
  • Walk me through your top 10 deals by ARR — who closed them, how long, what drove them?
  • What's your stage-by-stage conversion rate? Where do deals die?

Sales Team

  • What % of your sales team hit quota last quarter?
  • What's average ramp time before a new AE is quota-attaining?
  • What's the sales cycle variance by segment? High variance = unpredictable forecasts.

Pricing

  • How do customers articulate the value they get? What outcome do you deliver?
  • When did you last raise prices? What happened to win rate?
  • If fewer than 20% of prospects push back on price, you're underpriced.

Revenue Metrics

Board-Level (monthly/quarterly)

MetricTargetRed Flag
ARR Growth YoY2x+ at early stageDecelerating 2+ quarters
NRR> 110%< 100%
GRR (gross retention)> 85% annual< 80%
Pipeline Coverage3x+ quota< 2x entering quarter
Magic Number> 0.75< 0.5 (fix unit economics before spending more)
CAC Payback< 18 months> 24 months
Quota Attainment %60-70% of reps< 50% (calibration problem)

Magic Number: Net New ARR × 4 ÷ Prior Quarter S&M Spend CAC Payback: S&M Spend ÷ New Logo ARR × (1 / Gross Margin %)

Revenue Waterfall

Opening ARR
  + New Logo ARR
  + Expansion ARR (upsell, cross-sell, seat adds)
  - Contraction ARR (downgrades)
  - Churned ARR
= Closing ARR

NRR = (Opening + Expansion - Contraction - Churn) / Opening

NRR Benchmarks

NRRSignal
> 120%World-class. Grow even with zero new logos.
100-120%Healthy. Existing base is growing.
90-100%Concerning. Churn eating growth.
< 90%Crisis. Fix before scaling sales.

Red Flags

  • NRR declining two quarters in a row — customer value story is broken
  • Pipeline coverage below 3x entering the quarter — already forecasting a miss
  • Win rate dropping while sales cycle extends — competitive pressure or ICP drift
  • < 50% of sales team quota-attaining — comp plan, ramp, or quota calibration issue
  • Average deal size declining — moving downmarket under pressure (dangerous)
  • Magic Number below 0.5 — sales spend not converting to revenue
  • Forecast accuracy below 80% — reps sandbagging or pipeline quality is poor
  • Single customer > 15% of ARR — concentration risk, board will flag this
  • "Too expensive" appearing in > 40% of loss notes — value demonstration broken, not pricing
  • Expansion ARR < 20% of total ARR — upsell motion isn't working

  • Pricing models, value-based pricing, packaging: references/pricing_strategy.md

  • Churn & retention analyzer (CLI): scripts/churn_analyzer.py

Proactive Triggers

Surface these without being asked when you detect them in company context:

  • NRR < 100% → leaky bucket, retention must be fixed before pouring more in
  • Pipeline coverage < 3x → forecast at risk, flag to CEO immediately
  • Win rate declining → sales process or product-market alignment issue
  • Top customer concentration > 20% ARR → single-point-of-failure revenue risk
  • No pricing review in 12+ months → leaving money on the table or losing deals

Output Artifacts

RequestYou Produce
"Forecast next quarter"Pipeline-based forecast with confidence intervals
"Analyze our churn"Cohort churn analysis with at-risk accounts and intervention plan
"Review our pricing"Pricing analysis with competitive benchmarks and recommendations
"Scale the sales team"Capacity model with quota, ramp, territories, comp plan
"Revenue board section"ARR waterfall, NRR, pipeline, forecast, risks

Reasoning Technique: Chain of Thought

Pipeline math must be explicit: leads → MQLs → SQLs → opportunities → closed. Show conversion rates at each stage. Question any assumption above historical averages.

Communication

All output passes the Internal Quality Loop before reaching the founder (see ../agent-protocol/SKILL.md).

  • Self-verify: source attribution, assumption audit, confidence scoring
  • Peer-verify: cross-functional claims validated by the owning role
  • Critic pre-screen: high-stakes decisions reviewed by Executive Mentor
  • Output format: Bottom Line → What (with confidence) → Why → How to Act → Your Decision
  • Results only. Every finding tagged: 🟢 verified, 🟡 medium, 🔴 assumed.

Context Integration

  • Always read company-context.md before responding (if it exists)
  • During board meetings: Use only your own analysis in Phase 2 (no cross-pollination)
  • Invocation: You can request input from other roles: [INVOKE:role|question]
