Sales Pipeline: Tracks all active sales opportunities with stages, expected close dates, deal sizes, and probability of closing.
Forecasting Model: Uses historical data to generate monthly revenue forecasts with scenario analysis (Best Case, Expected Case, Worst Case).
Asset Register: Centralized database for all company-owned assets (e.g., laptops, software licenses, equipment).
Asset Maintenance Log: Records service history and depreciation schedules for physical assets.
Data Dictionary & Instructions: Provides definitions, formulas, and user guidance.

Table Structures & Column Definitions

Sales Pipeline (Sheet: Sales Pipeline)

This table tracks every sales opportunity from lead to closure. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Opportunity ID | Text (Auto-generated) | Unique identifier, e.g., "OPP-2024-001" | | Account Name | Text | Client or customer name | | Product/Service Sold | Text | What is being sold (e.g., SaaS Tier 1) | | Deal Size (USD) | Number (Currency) | Projected revenue per deal | | Stage | Dropdown List: Lead, Qualified, Proposal Sent, Negotiation, Closed Won, Closed Lost | Sales funnel progression | | Probability (%) | Number (0–100%) | Likelihood of closing based on stage | | Expected Close Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | Forecasted closing month | | Owner (Sales Rep) | Text/Name Lookup from Team List | Responsible salesperson |

Asset Register (Sheet: Asset Register)

This table tracks all tangible and intangible assets owned by the startup. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Asset ID | Text (Auto-generated) | e.g., "ASSET-2024-01" | | Asset Name | Text | Descriptive name (e.g., “MacBook Pro - Dev 3”) | | Category (e.g. Hardware, Software, IP) | Dropdown: Hardware, Software License, Furniture, Intellectual Property | Helps with categorization and reporting | | Purchase Date | Date (mm/dd/yyyy) | When the asset was acquired | | Cost (USD) | Number (Currency) | Initial acquisition cost | | Depreciation Method | Dropdown: Straight-Line, Declining Balance | For accounting purposes | | Useful Life (Years) | Number (Integer) | Expected lifespan of the asset | | Current Value (USD) | Formula-Driven Column | Calculated based on depreciation method and age | | Status (In Use/On Hold/Retired) | Dropdown: In Use, On Hold, Retired, Under Maintenance | Tracks operational status | | Location / Assigned To | Text/Name Lookup from Employee List | Who is using or responsible for the asset |

Forecasting Model (Sheet: Forecasting Model)

This sheet pulls data from the Sales Pipeline to generate revenue projections. | Column | Data Type | Description | |--------|-----------|-------------| | Month (YYYY-MM) | Text/Date Format | e.g., “2024-07” | | Expected Revenue (USD) | Formula-Based Total of "Deal Size × Probability" for deals closing in that month | | Best Case Forecast (USD) | Derived from 100% probability assumption for all open deals with >65% current prob. | | Worst Case Forecast (USD) | Conservative: only include deals with ≥85% probability | | Actual Revenue (if available) | Manual Input Column (for tracking actuals vs forecast) |

Formulas Required

Asset Current Value Calculation:
=IF(AND(Depreciation_Method="Straight-Line", Useful_Life>0), Cost - (Cost / Useful_Life * DATEDIF(Purchase_Date, TODAY(), "Y")), IF(Depreciation_Method="Declining Balance", Cost * POWER((1 - 2/Useful_Life), DATEDIF(Purchase_Date, TODAY(), "Y")), Cost))
This calculates asset value based on time elapsed and chosen depreciation method.
Sales Forecast for Monthly Projection:
=SUMIFS(Sales_Pipeline!$D:$D, Sales_Pipeline!$F:$F, ">= "&EOMONTH(A2,-1)+1, Sales_Pipeline!$F:$F, "<= "&EOMONTH(A2,0))
Where A2 contains the month. Sums all deals with expected close date in that month.
Probability-Weighted Revenue:
=Deal_Size * (Probability/100)
Applied to each opportunity row to calculate weighted contribution.

Conditional Formatting

The template uses dynamic conditional formatting for visual cues:

Sales Pipeline: Deals with “Stage” = “Closed Won/Lost” are highlighted in green/red.
Deal size cells with values > $50K are shaded in light blue.
Asset Status column: "Retired" is red, "In Use" is green, "On Hold" is yellow.
Forecasting Model: Actual vs Forecast comparison uses color scales — green if actual ≥ forecast, red if below.

User Instructions

1. **Enter Data**: Populate the Sales Pipeline with all active deals and Asset Register with every company asset. 2. **Update Monthly**: Each month, update the “Expected Close Date” for deals in progress and verify asset statuses. 3. **Generate Forecast**: Use the “Forecasting Model” sheet — it auto-calculates monthly revenue based on your inputs. 4. **Track Depreciation**: The system automatically calculates remaining value of assets based on purchase date and depreciation rules. 5. **Use Dashboards**: Monitor performance via the Dashboard, which uses charts from Forecasting and Asset Register data. 6. **Run Scenarios**: Modify probability values or forecast assumptions to model “what-if” scenarios for planning.
