Audited planning profile
This shared five-year profile applies a 3× editable baseline across 60 model periods to the portfolio preparation compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Define a consistent allocation rule so shared usage is not counted twice. Treat maintenance, replacement and compounding assumptions as material over five years.
Institution grading rules, accreditation, admission criteria, learning differences and future fee changes are not inferred.
Check the institution handbook, course calendar and your measured study pace.
