The model is designed to fit cohort, hourly operations, while generally different revenue logic, schedules or reporting may require a custom structure.
MODEL BY MADA READY
Good Example
Your services mainly earn by charging hours and hourly rates.
You obtain customers through marketing expenses and assumptions of the customer purchase costs.
You want to keep the cohort, allocate levels and prices of services in the forecast.
You need scenarios plus a related income account, cash flows and balance sheet results.
CUSTOMS STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Pattern
Your revenue model does not depend on active customers and hours settled.
You require essentially a different cohort, ability, prices or allocation mechanics.
Your operational plans require structures beyond the assumptions and controls of the model.
Your reporting requirements require specialized exits outside confirmed views from the workbook.
The template is the starting point of planning, not a guarantee of performance.
