Audited planning profile
This freelance three-year profile applies a 1.5× editable baseline across 36 model periods to the recurring maintenance compare model.
Use the difference between option A and option B; keep the scale and horizon identical for both. Separate personal and business costs, unpaid time and tax reserves. Run an adverse case for inflation, downtime and changing demand over three years.
Public holidays, legal notice periods, calendar conventions, time-zone cutoffs and eligibility rules are not inferred unless entered.
Confirm the governing time zone, official calendar and any contractual or legal deadline.
