What-If Scenario Analysis
Adjust 14 business drivers and instantly see how changes ripple through your financials. Save, compare, and export scenarios.
How It Works
- Baseline — the platform calculates a baseline from your latest trial balance data.
- Adjust drivers — use sliders or type values to change one or more business drivers.
- Recalculate — click Calculate to see updated forecasts, KPIs, and delta comparisons.
- Review — a side-by-side comparison shows baseline vs. scenario with magnitude and percentage changes.
Business Drivers
Drivers are loaded dynamically from the configuration file. Each driver has the following properties:
| Property | Details |
|---|
| Default value | 0.0 (no change from baseline) |
| Minimum | -50 |
| Maximum | +50 |
| Unit | Depends on type: %, Days, or лв. (currency) |
Driver Types
The system auto-detects each driver's type from its name:
| Type | Detection Keywords | Unit |
|---|
percentage | %, growth, change, utilization | % |
days | days, DSO, DPO | Days |
amount | CAPEX, лв. | лв. |
rate | rate | % |
index | index | — |
Typical Driver Examples
- Service Utilization (%) — adjusts the revenue impact of service capacity usage
- Revenue Growth (%) — simulates top-line changes
- Personnel Cost Change (%) — models headcount or salary adjustments
- Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) — adjusts how quickly receivables are collected
- Days Payable Outstanding (DPO) — adjusts how quickly payables are settled
- CAPEX — models capital expenditure changes in currency units
The exact driver list depends on your organisation's configuration profile.

Saved Scenarios
Previously saved scenarios appear in a list. Click any scenario to restore its driver values and recalculate. Each scenario stores:
- Name — auto-generated or custom
- Driver values — the full set of driver adjustments
- Results — the computed financial metrics and comparison data
Tips
- What-If draws data from trial balance, not transactions. Make sure you have TB data uploaded.
- Start by adjusting one driver at a time to understand its individual impact.
- Use the AI Advisor after setting up a complex multi-driver scenario — it explains trade-offs and risks.
- Save scenarios before and after major business decisions to compare outcomes over time.
- The Reset button returns all sliders to 0 (baseline).
