Formula Checks Built In
Megan Carter, NY
I was nervous that one bad formula would throw off the whole model, but the checks made it easy to catch issues early. I rebuilt my forecast without second-guessing every cell.
Hours Saved Right Away
Derek Collins, TX
I used to spend days piecing together revenue and expense tabs by hand, and this cut that down to an afternoon. That freed up enough time to refine the assumptions before my lender call.
Margins Easy To See
Priya Shah, IL
The break-even view made it obvious where the service was actually making money and where it wasn’t. I walked into our planning meeting with clearer margin assumptions and got the follow-up booked the same day.

Model ready
It fits perfectly
Your market gets sellers and buyers separately and keeps them for a certain lifetime.
You want to edit the acquisition budgets, CAC, seasonality, mix of levels, life expectancy, repeat orders and AOV.
Your revenue combines transaction commissions with seller's subscriptions, buyer's subscriptions and additional seller's subscriptions.
You want to compare the low, base and high scenarios with the related financial statements and dashboard reports.
Order structure
Think about the model
Your basic monetization basically uses a different logic, like licensing, project fees, or revenue from membership-only.
Multi-party settlement, deposit, withdrawal or accounting for transactions outside the revenue market structure is required.
You need an operational schedule with extra pages, fillings, inventories, or other structures outside the vendor and buyer cohorts.
You need expert reports or calculations beyond the financial statements model, scenarios and management results.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.

Which assumptions can I change?
The buyer and seller's acquisition budgets, seasonality, CAC, level mixes, lifetime, initial users, repeat order frequency, AOV, acceptance rates, fixed commissions, subscriptions and seller's allowances may be changed.
03
What can I compare between Low, Base, and High scenarios?
