Scenario & Sensitivity Skill
Wraps any model in structured best/base/worst scenarios and sensitivity tables.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Scenario and sensitivity analysis is a great way to stress-test your model. You'll want to define your best, base, and worst case scenarios based on key assumptions. Then you can build out sensitivity tables to see which variables have the biggest impact on your bottom line—things like revenue growth, customer acquisition cost, churn rate. That'll help you understand what to focus on. But building all that into a spreadsheet can get complicated. What are your biggest uncertainties?
SCENARIO & SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS: 5-Year Financial Model SCENARIO MANAGER BASE CASE (probability 50%) • Revenue growth: 25% YoY • CAC payback period: 14 months • Gross margin: 78% • Operating expense ratio: 52% of revenue • Year 5 EBITDA: 12.3M BEST CASE (probability 25%) • Revenue growth: 40% YoY (viral adoption) • CAC payback: 9 months • Gross margin: 82% (scale efficiency) • OpEx ratio: 45% • Year 5 EBITDA: 22.8M WORST CASE (probability 25%) • Revenue growth: 8% YoY (market contraction) • CAC payback: 22 months • Gross margin: 71% (pricing pressure) • OpEx ratio: 60% • Year 5 EBITDA: 1.2M SENSITIVITY TABLES ONE-VARIABLE SENSITIVITY: Year 5 EBITDA by CAC Payback Period CAC payback 8m: 26.1M | 12m: 12.3M | 18m: -1.4M | 24m: -8.9M TWO-VARIABLE TORNADO CHART: Highest Impact Drivers 1. Revenue growth rate (8%-40% range impacts EBITDA by +/- 10.5M) 2. CAC payback period (8-24 month range impacts +/- 8.2M) 3. Gross margin (71%-82% range impacts +/- 4.1M) 4. OpEx ratio (45%-60% range impacts +/- 3.2M) 5. Churn rate (2%-8% annual impacts +/- 2.1M) KEY FINDINGS → Revenue growth is primary lever (fix acquisition strategy) → CAC payback has 2x sensitivity impact vs gross margin → Crossing breakeven happens in Year 4 (base case) SCENARIO PROBABILITY WEIGHTED FORECAST Expected Year 5 EBITDA: 10.8M (confidence interval: -1.4M to 22.8M)
