Audited planning profile
This small business three-year profile applies a 12× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the email processing compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Use current business volumes and preserve working-capital and operating margins. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Interruptions, dependencies, holidays and human variability must be added to the editable inputs or buffer.
Compare the estimate with recent actual completion times and reserve capacity for interruptions.
