Scenario Planning Finally Simplified
I stopped juggling low, base, and high cases in separate sheets and built all three in one place. That saved me about 4 hours and made investor conversations a lot cleaner.

This model made cash flow and shortfall timing much clearer, so I could see runway before it became a problem. I booked a planning meeting the same day because the numbers were finally easy to explain.
The layout made it easier to spot bad links and keep one broken cell from throwing off the whole file. I cut troubleshooting time by roughly 3 hours and felt comfortable sharing it with my team.
This is a five-year spreadsheet in which the models of subscription acquisitions, trials, conversions, chrunches, plan prices and related financial statements and management reports are edited.
Use it to plan how to market expenses, acquire customers, test conversions, mix plans, churn, and prices translate into subscribers and income.
Editable operational assumptions flow through the model to monthly and annual forecasts, scenarios, statements and reports on navigational desktops.
The model transforms marketing-driven logins into paid subscribers, moves them forward after wasted, and uses scheduled prices plus possible use and layer charges.
Marketing expenditure divided by CAC determines new entries by period.
Registration is divided between free and direct start.
After the trial period, the converted test cohorts shall be combined with the activations paid directly.
Paid activations divided according to plan, while previous subscribers roll forward net churn.
Active time levels of monthly prices, plus the possibility of using and fees, generate recognised revenues.
The income worksheet organizes acquisition, trial conversion, mix of subscribers' plan, related to the churns of entry into force, prices, use and configuration of assumptions fees for forecasting.
REVENUE
The COGS & OPEX worksheet separates direct costs of services, variable operating costs and fixed costs, and therefore the assumptions on costs remain related to the forecast.
COGS & OPEX
The Scenarios compare low, base and high cases with respect to revenues, gross margin, premium margins and EBITDA for the purpose of analysing the structured decision.
SCENARIOS
The table contains in one management report scenario control, key metrics, basic finances, income set, profitability, cash flow and feedback.
DASHBOARD
It fits with subscription companies using cohort conversion, churn, price level and associated operating schedules; structural different revenue logic may require custom modelling.
The template is the starting point of planning, not a guarantee of performance.
The Financial Models Laboratory can build or adapt a model when user requirements use different revenue logic, operational schedules or reporting structures.

It combines marketing expenditure and CAC to register, converts samples and directly paid cohorts to level subscribers, then applies prices plus possible use and revenue fees. ARR is a run-rate KPI instead of additional recognised revenue.
You can edit start time, marketing expenses, CAC, trial inputs and conversions, plan mix, subscriber churn or lifetime, level prices, usage, configuration fees and the optional revenue layer enabled.
The Scenarios’ overall forecast compare low, base and high revenue, gross margin, premium margin and EBITDA.
The product presents a statement of revenue, cash flow, balance sheet, dashboard, scenarios, summary, valuation, break-even, ROIC, graphs, KPIs, and supporting financial statements.
