Audited planning profile
This standard three-year profile applies a 1× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the image archive breakeven model.
Compare the break-even period with the time you realistically expect to keep or use the option. Use this as the central case, then compare a lean and conservative profile. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Provider-specific quotas, overage pricing, compression behavior and service-level guarantees are excluded unless entered.
Compare the estimate with a recent usage report and the provider's current pricing and quota documentation.
