Cashflow & Profit Model
This is the short tour — the one story that carries the whole case on its own. It starts from your position today, then rebuilds it step by step around one change: converting capacity that currently goes unused into purchasing power.
Enter your own annual cash income, the idle capacity you could sell if you were reasonably full, your fixed costs and the share of your spending that could be switched. The model does the rest, and every percentage is measured against your total capacity rather than against your current sales.
This is the same story a Capacity Consultant would walk you through on a suitability call. Figures are illustrative.
What this story shows
- Idle capacity is valued at your normal selling price — the work you could have won, not the work you did.
- The model charges the whole fee in cash, which is deliberately conservative: Silvatree’s actual charge is part cash and part Silva.
- The gain comes from preserving cash and filling unused capacity, not from discounting your prices.
- Outputs are illustrative and depend entirely on the figures you enter. See the fee schedule for the charges that actually apply.
