01 / The approach

A forecast you can explain.

01

Set the assumptions

Bring every driver into one structured scenario.

02

Run the model

Translate audience and programme choices into a ten-year view.

03

Compare the outcome

See which changes create more value and why.

Every result traces back to an assumption your team controls.

Change an input. Recalculate. Compare scenarios. Keep the logic visible instead of buried in a workbook.

02 / What you get out

Visualise your legacy flow.

01

Scenario comparison

Put forecasts side by side and see which assumptions create more value.

02

Performance figures

Thirty-nine years of gross income, costs, net income, gift counts and deaths.

03

Results by income stream

Existing pipeline, recruitment, supporter base and general public, each with its own return.

04

Excel and CSV exports

Take the undiscounted and discounted views into the workbook your board already reads.

03 / Scenario performance

Interrogate scenario performance.

Choose a year and a period, switch between undiscounted and discounted views, and read every figure back through the income stream that produced it.
