What-if analysis

What changes with a higher
unit cost?

With sales of 100,000 units, an increase in variable cost from PLN 62 to PLN 64 per unit lowers the profit forecast by PLN 200k. Prices and fixed costs in this scenario are the same as in the base plan.

  • Choose an assumption to change
  • Compare the result with the base scenario
  • Check the scale of impact on the financial plan

Multi-year plan

When will we reach
the target result?

Compare results over the coming years. In this example, the growth scenario exceeds the PLN 2m target in 2027, while the base scenario reaches it in 2029.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about modeling.

How does an operational model differ from a strategic one?

An operational model translates detailed assumptions – volumes, prices and costs – into a profit forecast for the coming year. A strategic model shows growth paths over a horizon of several years. In Fincorex®, both can use the same data model.

Can I compare several scenarios in one model?

Yes. You can compare the conservative, base and growth scenarios in one summary – year by year and against the target.

How do I check the impact of a price or cost change?

Change a selected assumption, e.g. unit cost, and the model recalculates revenue, costs and results. You can compare the effect with the base scenario.

Can I use data from my current reports?

Yes. Historical data from accounting, ERP and Excel is the starting point for the plan, and you can compare actuals with the model assumptions.

Can the model be tailored to my organization?

Yes. You can tailor assumptions, breakdowns and reports to companies, products or projects – to match how you make decisions.
