What is a what-if analysis tool?

A what-if analysis tool lets you change an input — price, churn, headcount, retention — and see every downstream number recalculate instantly, without rebuilding formulas or waiting for a spreadsheet to reload. Datastripes runs this in the browser on top of your own data.

Can this replace Excel Goal Seek or Data Tables for scenario modeling?

Yes for the common case: testing a range of inputs against an outcome. Datastripes adds interactive sliders and Monte Carlo simulation on top, so instead of one Goal Seek run at a time you can explore a full distribution of outcomes in real time.

Do I need to know Monte Carlo simulation to use this?

No. You set a realistic range for each uncertain input (for example, churn between 3% and 8%), and the simulation engine runs the scenarios and shows the distribution of outcomes — you don't need to understand the statistics to read the result.

Can I stress-test cash flow or runway with this tool?

Yes. A common use is modeling a downside scenario — a revenue drop, delayed funding round, or higher churn — and seeing the effect on runway and cash balance immediately, instead of rebuilding a separate spreadsheet model for each scenario.
