Your Business Model, Built In

Stop building every formula from scratch and hoping you got the logic right.

You build every formula from scratch. Hope you got the logic right. One broken reference tanks the whole sheet.
Backwards Budget engine models your entire business — inventory to operating income. 7 departments. 3 scenarios. Pre-built industry logic.

=SUMPRODUCT((data!$A$2:$A$999=B$1)*(data!$D$2:$D$999))
=IFERROR(INDEX(MATCH(... #REF!
=SUM(B12:B47)/COUNTA(B12:B47)*INDIRECT("Sheet"&G2&"!R"&...)
#VALUE! — Circular reference detected

Fragile. Opaque. One typo breaks everything.
