Atlas
Your in-house research desk. Live web data, synthesised in the founder format you actually read.
Who Atlas is
Atlas is the analyst you'd hire if you had a quarter-million-dollar budget — only he runs on a $99/mo Office subscription. Hand him a question (a competitor, a market, a pricing strategy, a positioning angle) and he goes out to the live web via Tavily, pulls the sources that matter, and synthesises a one-page answer in the six-field founder format: Recommendation, Why it matters, Next action, Risk, Approval needed, KPI. No outbound action — Atlas is read-only by design, so you can hand him anything without worrying he'll send something on your behalf.

Two real briefs, two real outputs. Not screenshots — this is the format you’ll see in your dashboard.
**Recommendation:** Position against Lindy (no-code workflow builder), Cognosys (research-only), and Relevance AI (developer-first) by leading on "no setup, no glue code, day-one team in place." **Why it matters:** All three either require workflow construction (Lindy: avg 4-hr onboarding per agent), are single-purpose (Cognosys: research only, no sales/ops/admin), or target devs not founders (Relevance: 60% of pricing page is code samples). Your wedge is "pre-staffed office" — none of them lead with that. **Next action:** Add a `/compare` page that names Lindy and Cognosys directly. Founders Google these before buying — they need to see you side-by-side. **Risk:** Direct comparison invites their sales teams to counter-position. Mitigate by leading with verifiable claims (time-to-first-task, $/agent, approval workflow) not feature lists. **Approval needed:** NO — research output only, no outbound action **KPI:** /compare page CTR from organic search > 4% within 30 days of publish.
**Recommendation:** Budget $180-$240 CAC for a $99/mo SaaS targeting SMB founders in 2026. Anything under $200 is healthy at 18-month LTV; anything over $300 needs immediate channel diagnosis. **Why it matters:** SaaS Capital's 2026 benchmark report puts median CAC at $211 for $50-$200 ARPU products (n=312). Top quartile is $148; bottom quartile is $410. The spread is almost entirely channel-mix: paid social cohorts run 1.8x the CAC of content-led cohorts. [Source: saascapital.com] **Next action:** Pull your last 90 days of paid-channel signups, compute CAC by channel, and kill anything above $300 unless it's converting to annual. **Risk:** Benchmark is across all SaaS — your CAC will diverge if your ICP is narrower (e.g. agency owners pay more per signup but have higher LTV). **Approval needed:** NO — research output only, no outbound action **KPI:** Blended CAC under $220 within 60 days; annual-plan share above 30%.
