@taimurabdaal This is incredible!
Thoroughly impressed with all the features available. Casual is by far one of the best “spreadsheet alternatives” I’ve come across.
Congrats on the launch!
@adamwesol Thanks for all your support Adam, especially back in the early days!
@taimurabdaal - Our org signed up for causal earlier this year. We love using the tool to build complex models and supporting visuals. The team there was extremely helpful with onboarding and and answering questions we along the away. Great job guys!!
@taimurabdaal congrats! Wondering if it's possible to confirm the cost to add BigQuery as part of the Startup plan. Causal looks awesome. Wishing you and your team all the best!
Been using Causal for a while - for me the major thing is the ability to bake in uncertainty to your models. Instead of saying our cost of showing 1,000 ads (CPM) is $10, we can say it's $8 to $10 and then everything downstream that references that will show a range too. Now you know the probability of hitting your target, missing it, or exceeding it. I've found that to be hugely helpful in setting realistic goals and expectations with leadership and finance. I'm sure it can do a lot more than this, but just wanted to highlight that one feature because it's subtle but really useful.
@2michaeltaylor Thanks Mike — glad the uncertainty feature comes in handy for you! Appreciate your support in the early days 2 years ago! 🙏
@taimurabdaal I was just excited that someone other than me was geeking out over Monte Carlo simulations :-)
This is really cool, you're raising the bar! BTW, I mentioned Causal in a piece I wrote about the History of Spreadsheets: https://www.callmefred.com/the-h...
I got a chance to test Causal a couple of months ago and though it tool a couple of hours to un-learn some of my entrenched spreadsheet financial modeling processes, once I got used to how Causal operates I can't go back. The ability to easily model ranges and integrate scenarios in budgeting and forecasting are killer features for me. Those have always been a huge PITA in spreadsheets and they're incredibly simple in Causal. Also worth mentioning, readable variable names is another reason you should definitely give Causal a try. No more needing to remember AC$23$ means 'expected churn rate'.
Congrats on the launch!
The company I co-founded, Spare (sparelabs.com, post-Series A, 80 people), moved to Causal a year ago, and I couldn't be happier with making the move. Our entire financial model is powered by Causal, and it has been a game-changer for our ability to project our future state as a company. Keep on the incredible work @taimurabdaal and @lukaskoebis 👏 👏 👏
Awesome to see Causal's evolution since we first met 2-3 years ago, @taimurabdaal. What's been the biggest learning or surprise so far?
