A driver-based model connecting channel demand, SKU mix, pricing, unit economics, inventory purchasing, working capital and cash runway — with cash as the balancing output rather than a plug.
Built for and used inside real consumer businesses I have worked with. The structure is unchanged; every figure has been replaced with dummy data, so it works as a template and gives nothing away.
What's inside
- Base, Upside and Downside scenarios driving volume, price, unit cost and OpEx multipliers from one cell.
- Three channels and three SKUs, from starting units and growth through returns, ASPs and unit COGS.
- Inventory roll-forward on target stock coverage, supplier lead time and payment terms.
- Twelve months of integrated P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, plus eight automated model checks.
How to use it
- 1Pick Base, Upside or Downside on the Assumptions tab.
- 2Replace the yellow input cells with your own numbers — blue font and yellow fill means input, black means formula.
- 3Work through Revenue, Inventory and OpEx in that order; each one feeds the next.
- 4Check every row on the Checks tab reads OK before you share it or act on it.
