What's inside

  1. Start here: the steps in order and the color key
  2. Setup + Break-Even: your season inputs and the four numbers that run your summer
  3. Revenue: a week-by-week grid with margin and a status for every week
  4. Costs: every line that moves, with instructor pay tied to your ratio
  5. Break-Even Detail: the math behind the cards
  6. Scenarios: soft enrollment and an added week, side by side
  7. Your first draft in an hour

How to use this in 10 minutes

Open the workbook. On the Setup tab, enter your weeks, price, capacity, and ratio. Glance at the four cards at the top of that same tab; they update as you type. That’s a first draft. Come back for the hour-long pass: fill the Costs tab line by line, then stress-test on the Scenarios tab.
