Enable Strategy Lab
Scenario Planner
Stress-test your numbers before the world does it for you.
Start from your baseline revenue, labour cost and cash position (or import them straight from Labour Cost Calculator), add the real invoices, bills and repayments you already know are coming, then layer on "what if" scenarios - add or remove a worker, win or lose a client, change your prices, or ride out a slow or disrupted period - and see the month-by-month cashflow impact, including whether and when cash runs out.
Included in All Access, or unlock it on its own.

See The Hit Before It Lands
Most cashflow crunches aren't actually surprises - the invoice, the wage bill, the lost client were all knowable in advance, they just weren't scheduled or stress-tested ahead of time. Learn to schedule what you already know is coming and pressure-test what you don't, and cashflow stops ambushing you. Skip it and you keep finding out about problems the moment they hit the bank account, when your options for fixing them are already the most expensive ones.
- 1.The Forecast You Already HaveMost of next quarter's cashflow is already sitting in your head - it just is not written down anywhere.
- 2.The Four LeversWorker changes, client changes, price changes, disruptions - the four things that actually move a forecast.
- 3.Name Your Worst CaseBefore you touch the tool, write down the one scenario you actually worry about.
- 4.Reading the Cash-Out MonthThe single most useful number the tool produces is not the end balance - it is the month, if any, the cash reserve hits zero.
- 5.Quick CheckA few questions to lock in what you just covered.
- 6.Build Your ScenariosTurn the list you just wrote into a real, month-by-month forecast.
