Saved Me Hours

I kept putting off the forecast because starting from zero felt like too much. The structure here gave me a clean place to begin, and I had a working model ready the same afternoon.
I couldn’t see where the margin was going or when the business would actually turn positive. This model laid out break-even and profitability in a way I could explain in one meeting.
This editable five-year workbook models drone delivery market receipts from seller and buyer, repeat orders of the buyer, order value, commissions, subscriptions and vendor allowances.
Use the workbook to plan how the supplier supply, buyer demand, order activity, prices and monetization translate into market revenues, costs, cash flow and financial results.
Separate acquisition budgets, CAC, level mixes, viability, seasonality, order repetition frequency, AOV, rates, subscriptions and extras sellers supply forecast and reports.
The model acquires sellers and buyers separately, retains layered conglomerates, converts the buyer's business to GMV, and then records commissions, subscriptions and vendor allowances as revenue.
Calculation of new sellers and buyers separately from acquisition budgets divided by their respective CAC.
Allocation of each party to tiers, maintenance of the cohort for the life of each layer and application of the acquisition seasonality.
Combine the first orders from new buyers with subsequent orders from authorized active-buyers of cohorts.
Calculate GMV as orders times the buyer-tier AOV, then calculates commissions with take rates and fixed fees per order.
Add commission, subscriptions to seller and buyer and included vendor allowances per month; GMV is not revenue itself.
The income sheet The assumption separates the sale and purchase of the buyer, periods of validity, repeated preservation of the order, value of the order, commissions, subscriptions and accessories of the seller.
