Lean · Three-Year · Consulting Project Safety Buffer Calculator

Turn operating inputs into a transparent price, margin, capacity or cash-runway decision.

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. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.

Taxes, contract risk, payment delays, staff variability, compliance costs and exceptional expenses are not inferred automatically.

Reconcile the inputs with current invoices, payroll, contracts and a recent operating period.
