Audited planning profile
This shared five-year profile applies a 3× editable baseline across 60 model periods to the house 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. Treat maintenance, replacement and compounding assumptions as material over five years.
Lender underwriting, local taxes, legal fees, insurance terms, maintenance shocks and future property values are not inferred.
Reconcile the result with a lender quote, contract terms and a local closing-cost estimate.
