Built around service economicsThe revenue engine follows acquired customers through installation and service allocation, customer lifetime, billable hours, hourly rates, and total service revenue.
CLIENT-COHORT REVENUE ENGINE
How Does the Waterside Economizer Installation Model Calculate Revenue?
The model converts marketing spend into new customers, retains service-tier cohorts for their lifetimes, calculates active-customer billable hours, and applies hourly rates to produce revenue.
01
Acquire Customers
New customers equal marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
02
Allocate Tiers
Assign new customers across service tiers and retain each cohort for its stated lifetime.
03
Track Active Clients
Starting customers and still-active cohorts combine into monthly active customers by tier.
04
Build Billable Hours
Multiply active customers by average billable hours per active customer each month.
05
Calculate Revenue
Multiply billable hours by hourly rates, then sum revenue across tiers and months.
The Revenue sheet connects launch timing, marketing, CAC, installation and service-tier allocation, customer lifetime, billable hours, and hourly rates to the client-cohort revenue forecast.
REVENUE
The Revenue view shows acquisition, installation and service mix, active-customer, billable-hour, and pricing inputs.

How Are Operating Costs Structured?
The COGS & OPEX sheet separates direct costs, variable operating expenses, and fixed expenses so cost assumptions flow into the forecast.

PRODUCT FIT
Is the Waterside Economizer Installation Financial Model Right for You?
The ready-made model fits service businesses using customer cohorts, billable hours, and hourly pricing; materially different revenue logic may call for a custom structure.
READY-MADE MODEL
A Good Fit
Your revenue is driven by acquired customers, retained cohorts, billable hours, and hourly rates.
You want to plan installation or service tiers with different customer allocations, lifetimes, hours, and pricing.
You need editable assumptions for marketing spend, CAC, seasonality, starting customers, and service mix.
You want five-year statements, Low/Base/High scenarios, and dashboard reporting linked to operating assumptions.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Consider Custom Modeling
Your primary revenue model is not based on customer cohorts, billable hours, and hourly rates.
You require materially different service economics, contract logic, transaction structures, or billing schedules.
You need operating schedules that differ substantially from the workbook’s revenue and cost structure.
You need reporting outputs or calculation architecture tailored to requirements outside the ready-made model.
The template is a planning starting point, not a guarantee of performance.

Blank Page To Structure
Megan Foster, NY
I didn't have to start from a blank spreadsheet, which made the first step much easier. I had a working Waterside Economizer model in place in minutes, so I could focus on assumptions instead of layout.
Hours Back On The Clock
Daniel Reed, IL
Building the forecast by hand would have taken me days, and this template cut that to a single afternoon. It saved me about 12 hours and let me move on to pricing and funding prep.
Cleaner Numbers, Less Stress
