Scenario Planning

Model multiple financial outcomes and understand the impact of every decision — before it happens.

Model multiple financial outcomes and understand the impact of every decision — before it happens.

• Build best, base, and worst-case scenarios

• Adjust assumptions across revenue, hiring, and expenses

• Compare outcomes with clear visibility into impact

Why It Matters

Planning for One Outcome Isn't Enough

Planning for One Outcome Isn't Enough

Most financial models are static — making it difficult to evaluate different paths or respond to changing conditions.

Scenario modeling requires duplicating spreadsheets

Teams create multiple versions of the same model, leading to inconsistencies and errors.

Assumptions are hard to track and manage

Changes to growth rates, hiring, or costs are often undocumented and difficult to compare across scenarios

Limited visibility into impact of decisions

Without structured comparisons, it's difficult to understand how changes affect cash, margins, or runway.

What is Scenario Planning

Model Multiple Outcomes with Confidence

Arbo’s Scenario Planning allows teams to create and manage multiple versions of their financial model — each based on different assumptions.

Instead of maintaining disconnected files, teams can build structured scenarios within a single system and compare outcomes side-by-side.

Multi-Scenario Modeling

Create multiple versions of your financial plan to reflect different strategic paths.

  • Best, base, and worst-case scenarios

  • Custom scenarios based on business decisions

  • Separate assumptions within each scenario

Version Control & History

Maintain clarity and consistency across planning cycles.

  • Track scenario versions over time

  • Maintain history of changes and updates

  • Avoid duplication of models across files

Assumption-Based Modeling

Adjust key drivers and instantly see their impact across your model.

  • Revenue growth rates

  • Hiring plans and compensation changes

  • Expense adjustments

  • Pricing or margin assumptions

Side-by-Side Comparison

Compare outcomes across scenarios to support better decision-making.

  • Compare revenue, expenses, and cash flow

  • Evaluate impact on burn and runway

  • Identify trade-offs across strategic options
