Audited planning profile
This shared quarterly profile applies a 3× editable baseline across 4 model periods to the used car purchase buffer model.
Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Define a consistent allocation rule so shared usage is not counted twice. Check seasonality and any costs that occur only once per quarter.
Live fuel prices, charging tariffs, insurance quotes, taxes, incentives, depreciation and repair events are not fetched.
Use current local quotes, measured consumption and the vehicle's service schedule.
