About this model

List what you expect to earn and spend each month, choose whether each line stays flat, grows or follows a busy season, and see the whole year at once. It shows your tightest month and what is left over.

How to run it

  1. Export your orders (Shopify, Square, Stripe, a POS or a visit list) with a customer, date and amount.
  2. Upload it. Line-item exports are rolled into orders by order number.
  3. Read the cohort table and the revenue-per-customer curve, add margin and acquisition cost if you have them, and download the workbook.
