I usually freeze at a blank spreadsheet, but this gave me a clear place to begin. I had a full first draft built in one afternoon instead of spending days guessing what to include.

Planning of customer acquisition, handling activities, paid hours, prices, operating costs, personnel and cash flow in one of the related forecasts for humanitarian distribution services.

The model takes over customers from spending marketing and CAC, preserves cohorts according to life, transforms active customers into hours paid and prices of these hours according to service level.
New customers are equal to seasonally allocated marketing expenditure divided by the cost of purchasing the customer.
New customers are divided into customer or service levels using an editable allocation mix.
Customers starting and still active customer cohorts remain in the model for their specified lifetime.
Active customers multiply for average monthly hours paid for each level of service.
Hours paid multiply by hourly rates and add up in different levels and months of forecasting.
The view of the Tax Bases is exposed to customer outlays, allocation, lifetime, activity and valuation, which are the engine of forecasting paid hours.
