Financial Projections Skill

Use When

• Use when building or reviewing the core financial model for a plan or proposal.
• Use when lenders, investors, or committees need to see projected profitability, cash flow, and funding resilience.
• Use whenever a business case needs explicit assumptions and bankability logic.

Do Not Use When

• Do not use before the business model, pricing logic, and implementation path are at least directionally clear.
• Do not use to invent precision where the assumptions are unknown.
• Do not confuse this skill with stress testing, valuation, or funding structure; those are adjacent but distinct workflows.

Required Inputs

• Business model, pricing, customer or volume assumptions, and growth path
• Cost structure, staffing plan, implementation timing, and capex needs
• Tax, salary, inflation, and country context
