HireSense by LV8N Tech

HireSense by LV8N helps small-business owners explore the cash-flow impact of hiring before making a commitment. Drawing on my three decades of commercial banking experience, it addresses a practical challenge: many owners must make major financial decisions without an in-house CFO. HireSense compares four options over 12 months: no hire, a planned hire, reduced hours, and a delayed hire. Formula-based calculations show cash balances and reserve exposure. Meta-powered Scenario Reviews and interactive Q&A explain tradeoffs, assumptions, and questions owners should consider. During the event, we built HireSense around Elevation’s pre-existing inputs and hiring calculator, adding scenario comparisons and Meta-powered explanations and Q&A. The original calculator is maintained as a separate public dependency pinned to an immutable commit; the submission repository contains the event work. Try the prototype: https://hire-sense-platform.replit.app Start with Northstar Studio Services or Juniper Table Kitchen, explore the comparisons, then request an AI review or ask a question. HireSense provides decision support, not a guarantee that a hire is affordable.
