The Analysis Modules combine Relative Indicators for future performance with basic financial data (Revenue, Variable Costs, and Fixed Costs) to analyze a business. From these inputs a Forecast for business performance is developed. The Forecast can in-turn be applied to develop a Business Valuation. Outputs include a multi Year Forecast, Sensitivity Analysis, Investment Return, calculated Business Valuation Breakeven and Optimum Price analysis.

The performance of any business is impacted by its macro and micro environment. The macro environment encompasses variables outside the control of the business. The micro environment encompasses variables within the control of the business. By understanding the impact of these factors on future performance a business can improve its decision making to maximise opportunities and minimize risk. Using relative Indicators to quantify macro and micro variables allows their impact to be incorporated into performance analysis, provides insight into their impact and acts as a measure for the outcome of potential strategies and actions. Relative Indicators also enable management skills and competitive advantage to be incorporated into a forecast and valuation. Managers with different skill sets will result in similar businesses performing differently. Because the value of a business depends upon the return it provides and this return is impacted by management a business can have a different value to different people. Identifying areas were management can add value by applying their unique skill sets offers the opportunity to transform a business.

Applying Breakeven Analysis allows the profit impact of sales variations to be visualized and addressed. It enhances appreciation of the cost and potential of Variable and Fixed expenses in relation to sales volumes. This is extended in Price Analysis which projects outcomes for pricing from 50% to 200% of the current price and calculates the optimum price. This tests the impact of pricing changes on revenue and surplus and identifies the Optimum Price to maximize business surplus.
