It generates monthly financial statements for 60 months (Profit & Loss, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow) and includes a valuation tab with NPV and IRR, plus KPI dashboards and a dedicated checks tab to surface errors. Founders, financial analysts, or CFOs conducting scenario planning around traffic monetization, costs, and capex will find it especially useful for investor-ready projections and ongoing financial monitoring.
