Test the downside before it happens.
Pull sliders to see what happens when enrollment drops or rent goes up. Run structured decision flows for adding a program, evaluating a site, or changing enrollment. Save the scenarios that matter and compare them side by side.
Built for: Founders pressure-testing a plan before signing a lease or loan, board members evaluating big decisions, and operators who need to know whether the school survives a tough year.

How it works.
5 steps from blank page to a finished view you can share.
Open the What-If drawer.
From any saved model, pull up sliders for enrollment, tuition, staffing costs, facility expense, and more. The base model stays untouched.
Move the sliders that worry you.
What if enrollment is 20% lower? What if rent goes up 15%? What if a grant doesn't come through? See the impact on revenue, net income, and cash on hand instantly.
Run a structured decision flow.
For bigger questions - adding a grade, evaluating a site, changing enrollment - launch a guided flow that walks through the inputs, tradeoffs, and impact on the full 5-year picture.
Save the scenario.
Name it, write a quick note about what changed, and keep it next to your base model. You can come back any time and re-apply it.
Compare scenarios side by side.
Stack Conservative, Optimistic, and Worst-Case against your base model. Budget shows you which metrics improve, which get worse, and what a lender or board would focus on.
Common questions.
Will scenario planning overwrite my base model?
Will scenario planning overwrite my base model?
No. Scenarios are separate. Your base model stays exactly as you built it - scenarios layer on top so you can experiment freely.
How many scenarios can I save per model?
How many scenarios can I save per model?
As many as you want. Most founders end up with three to five - a base case, a stretch case, and a couple of stress cases for the things that actually keep them up at night.
What's the difference between a What-If scenario and a decision flow?
What's the difference between a What-If scenario and a decision flow?
A What-If scenario is a fast slider-driven adjustment. A decision flow is a guided, structured walkthrough for a specific decision (add a program, evaluate a site, change enrollment) that captures rationale and produces a clear before/after.
Can I share a scenario with my board or lender?
Can I share a scenario with my board or lender?
Yes. Generate a read-only link to your model that includes the saved scenarios, or include the comparison in the Five Year Financial Model export.
Find the cracks before someone else does.
Lenders, boards, and authorizers will all ask 'what if'. Have the answer ready - in a format they can review in minutes.
