Key Features & Capabilities:
1. Dynamic Revenue & COGS Build-Up
• Granular Volume Drivers: Forecast event volumes across multiple categories (Corporate, Social/Private, and Conferences).
• Detailed Pricing & Margin Control: Adjust the average event value, event cancellation rates, and add-on services revenue (e.g., catering, AV & tech, retainers).
• Direct Cost Modeling: Automatically calculates Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) based on venue costs, catering constraints, logistics, and event coordinator labor requirements.
2. Robust Scenario Analysis
• Live Base / Best / Worst Case Toggles: Instantly switch between scenarios on the control panel to see how variations in pricing, order volume, and operating costs impact overall profitability.
• Scenario Comparison Dashboard: A dedicated module that analyzes KPIs side-by-side, giving management and investors a transparent view of risk and upside potential.
3. Integrated 3-Statement Financials
• Monthly & Annual Views: Seamlessly rolls up monthly cash flows, income statements, and balance sheets into 10-year annual summaries.
• Working Capital & Capex: Tracks accounts receivable, inventory, deferred revenue, and capital expenditure depreciation with precise, circular-reference-free logic.
4. Performance Tracking (Actuals vs. Budget)
• Variance Analysis: Import historical actuals to automatically compare against budgeted forecasts. Track Year-to-Date (YTD) progress and evaluate year-on-year financial performance to keep operational execution aligned with strategic goals.
5. Advanced Valuation & Returns Analysis
• Discounted Cash Flow (DCF): Calculates Unlevered Free Cash Flow, Terminal Value, Enterprise Value, and Equity Value.
• Return Metrics: Automatically computes the Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC), Multiple on Invested Capital (MOIC), Net Present Value (NPV), and Payback Period.
6. Automated Debt & Personnel Schedules

• Debt Amortization: Track multiple loan tranches, detailing beginning balances, drawdowns, mandatory amortizations, and interest expense.
7. Executive Dashboards & Visualizations
• Investor-Ready Outputs: A highly polished "Executive Summary" tab showcasing sales growth, EBITDA margins, break-even analysis, and return on equity.
• Comprehensive Charting: Visual representations of cash flow trajectories, fixed vs. variable cost breakdowns, and revenue unit economics, optimized for easy export into pitch decks.
