Description
What it is (purpose + approach)
  • Simple, reusable 5-year top-down forecasting template to size revenue, margins, and profitability quickly.
  • Built around TAM → SAM → SOM logic to estimate obtainable revenue over time.
  • Designed for speed: a small set of assumptions drives a full view down to EBITDA plus charts and key metrics.
How it’s configured (inputs + scenarios)
  • Supports up to 3 channels, each with its own TAM, serviceability, and penetration assumptions.
  • Serviceability is constant per channel over the 5 years (structural constraints), while market penetration ramps annually to reflect share capture.
  • TAM is adjustable by year to reflect market growth as trends/awareness expand the total opportunity.
  • Includes 3 scenarios (downside/base/upside) driven by TAM growth multipliers and penetration ramp multipliers, with adjustable downside/upside magnitude.
  • Flexible timing: start year adjustable per channel and for the fixed expense schedule.
What you get (outputs + economics + valuation)
  • Direct cost modeling per channel for COGS, variable costs, direct labor using two simple inputs each: % of revenue and cost per unit/customer.
  • Outputs include channel and total gross margin, growth rates, implied value per unit/customer, and detailed summary to EBITDA (plus a high-level summary).
  • Valuation + price per share each year using outstanding shares and an EBITDA and/or revenue multiple.
  • 13 visualizations for quick analysis and presentation.
