Structure of the Financial Model
The financial model is organized into different tabs, categorized into six sections to cater to diverse financial needs:


1. Cover Tabs
These tabs provide essential navigation guidance, color-coding conventions, and descriptions of all sections in the model. Important checkpoints ensure accurate data input for smooth operation.


2. Input Tabs
These tabs allow comprehensive customization to reflect the operational strategies of your clinical laboratory:

• Revenue Assumptions: Key drivers for revenue streams (diagnostic tests, consultation fees, R&D revenue), including pricing, volume, growth rates, seasonality, and market size.
• General Assumptions: Foundational parameters such as business name, start date, currency, inflation rates, payroll taxes, and income tax.
• Cost of Revenue Assumptions: Direct costs including salaries of pathologists and R&D scientists, laboratory reagents, external pathologist costs, logistics for sample transportation, and medical waste disposal.
• S, G&A Expenses: Administrative and sales/marketing expenses (e.g., rent, utilities, employee salaries) with flexible inputs as fixed amounts or percentages of revenue.
• Capex Assumptions: Inputs for capital expenditures on lab equipment (e.g., analyzers, centrifuges) along with depreciation schedules.

• Financing & One-Time Expenses: Inputs for fundraising, debt financing, and start-up costs like legal fees and initial marketing expenses.

3. Output Tabs
This section provides detailed insights into your business’s financial health, offering a comprehensive analysis of financial performance. It includes an overview of valuation and internal rate of return (IRR), a common size profit and loss statement for expense analysis, and capacity utilization to help track laboratory resource usage. Additionally, it includes a dashboard for quick visual representation of key financial metrics, sources and uses of funds to track inflows and outflows, and financial ratios for a deeper understanding of the company’s liquidity, solvency, and profitability.


4. Financial Statements Tabs
Comprehensive financial statements offer a detailed monthly and annual view:

• Profit & Loss Statement: Tracks revenue, costs, and profitability.
• Balance Sheet: Detailed breakdowns of assets, liabilities, and equity.
• Cash Flow Statement: Tracks cash flow across operating, investing, and financing activities.

5. Calculation Tabs
The backbone of the financial projections with detailed computations:

• Revenue & COGS Calculation: Breaks down revenue and direct costs over the 5-year period.

• Debt, Equity & Income Tax Calculations: Tracks loan amortizations, debt repayment schedules, and tax liabilities.

6. Graphs Tabs
This section provides dynamic, visually engaging representations of your financial performance. It includes key performance indicators (KPIs), profitability analysis, revenue analytics, expense composition, and capacity utilization. Visual breakdowns of cash flow dynamics and balance sheet insights help stakeholders quickly assess liquidity, asset management, and financial health, offering powerful tools for decision-making.


Validation Checks
To ensure the accuracy of the model, validation checks are integrated across various tabs to identify potential errors or inconsistencies. Each tab's check cells are aggregated into cell A4, displaying a green tick mark (✔) if no issues are detected or a red cross (✖) if errors are found. A primary model check is also displayed in cell D11 of the Index tab and in cell A3 of all other tabs. If all validations pass, the model will show two green tick marks (✔✔); if errors are detected, two red crosses (✖✖) will appear, indicating that corrections are needed.
