Audited planning profile
This team annual profile applies a 8× editable baseline across 12 model periods to the habit building breakeven model.
Compare the break-even period with the time you realistically expect to keep or use the option. Use measured team throughput and include coordination time and unavailable capacity. Include annual renewals, maintenance, taxes and seasonal variation.
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.
