A linked reference can support scope without confirming an exact forecast. Assumption entries identify values that still require local validation. Each field path identifies an input in the common business record.

  • Model assumption

    Authored two-worker opening allocation. Current tool, ladder, new-van and licensing sources inform category selection but do not verify used vans, full inventory or reserve.

  • Model assumption

    Authored completed-job path. Year three is 3 jobs × $450 × 5 days × 50 weeks. Census classification and occupational duties establish a service scope but do not establish price, volume, route capacity or demand.

  • Model assumption

    Authored 22% sales-linked pool for job materials, payment fees, route fuel and consumables. Replace it with job invoices, miles, waste, discounts and callbacks.

  • Model assumption

    Authored paid working-owner and technician schedule with employer-cost allowance. National occupation pay and federal payroll-tax components are context only.

  • Model assumption

    Authored vehicle, insurance, tool, software, marketing and administration schedule. It is not a local quote or cash forecast.

  • Model assumption

    Authored completed-job bridge for break-even. The $450 ticket, three jobs, 78% contribution, fixed cost and ramp must be reconciled to paid hours, route time and service mix.
