01 / A place to start

Save the Base Case.

Save a base case, then work through another idea without losing it. Change the funding, the timing, or the scope.

02 / Assumptions + results

See what changed.

Put the plans side by side. Compare the money needed, the cash coming back, and the assumptions that explain the difference.

Shared basis: 10,000 SF area · $650,000 other costs · 60% debt share · 6.5% interest-only rate. NOI changes only in Stronger income.

Two fixed sample plans for the same fictional property. Higher build cost changes Cost/SF; Stronger income changes NOI. Shaded cells are labeled as changed inputs or results. Net operating income (NOI) is income after operating expenses. A simplified example with interest-only debt. It leaves out fees, taxes, principal payments, and changes over time.
03 / The whole decision

Review the Tradeoffs.

More return can come with more equity, more time, or more risk. Keep those tradeoffs in view.

Starting assumptions

No input changed

Equity
$1,000,000
Annual cash after interest
$112,500

A reference to keep while you explore. Scope, timing, and risk still need review.

Higher build cost

More capital required

Cost/SF changes

Equity
$1,100,000
Annual cash after interest
$102,750

More debt and equity are needed. Annual cash falls with the higher interest cost.

Stronger income

Income to support

NOI changes

Equity
$1,000,000
Annual cash after interest
$129,300

The higher income assumption raises annual cash. Check what supports that income.

These stills change cost or income only. Timing and risk are not quantified in this simplified sample.

FAQ

Questions about plans.

Is a business plan a separate project?

No. It is an alternative set of assumptions and results inside the same project. Your subscription determines the saved-plan capacity.

Can I compare very different options?

Yes. Keep the assumptions and relevant modules explicit so you can see what each alternative requires.
