See where the money goes.
Let your AI work through one sale: what comes in, what goes out and where your time goes.
Use this promptHow can AI help you understand what an offer costs to deliver?
The price is only part of the picture. Materials, delivery and the way you do the work all affect what a sale leaves to pay for the rest of the business.
Your AI can work through that using the offer you've already discussed. Start with what it knows, see the numbers laid out and find one thing worth improving. You don't need to decide what a good profit should be before you can understand the offer.

Walk me through the money
Help me understand how the money works in my offer. Start with the offer, price and way of delivering it we've already discussed. Walk through one sale in plain language: what comes in, what I pay to make and deliver it, and what's left to help pay for running the business. Show the arithmetic. Keep my time visible as time; don't invent an hourly wage or ask me what profit would make me happy. Use the numbers we have. Mark estimates and missing costs clearly. Keep costs paid for each sale separate from costs shared across several sales, without counting anything twice. If I sell a group or batch, show that whole group too. If you need more clarity, ask me one short question at a time and use my answer. If I don't know a number, help me work it out or explain it with a clearly labelled example. Suggest one practical way to improve the numbers while keeping what the customer needs. Say what to check before treating it as workable. Keep it short. A calculation doesn't prove people will buy. I choose the changes; leave actions to me.
What you should leave with
A clear money-in, money-out picture, your time shown separately, and one possible improvement with a check before you choose it.
Illustrative example · not a customer result
The situation: You've already discussed a six-person craft workshop with your AI: $45 a seat, $9 of materials per person, a $90 room and about five hours of your time. You've also found a smaller room for $60. No seats have sold yet.
A useful result: If all six seats sell, $270 comes in. Materials cost $54 and the room costs $90, leaving $126 before other costs and paying yourself. The five hours remain visible. The $60 room would leave $156 on the same assumptions, so it's worth checking whether it still fits six people and the activity. Payment fees, other running costs and whether people will book still need checking.
Then do this
Choose one suggested improvement. Confirm the cost or try a small delivery check before changing the offer. Keep the original numbers so you can compare what actually happens.
Money left after the costs shown is not the same as final profit. Missing costs, your time and unsold places can change the picture. Correct your AI's assumptions before relying on the result.
