Audited planning profile
This lean daily profile applies a 0.75× editable baseline across 1 model period to the used car purchase buffer model.
Use the buffered result for planning and the unbuffered result as the transparent baseline. Treat the lean scale as a lower-bound plan and test whether essential fixed costs still fit. Use a typical day and separately test peak or exceptional days.
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.
