COMPARE DECISIONS

Your scenario bench

Pin up to three configurations to compare their outcomes.

UNCERTAINTY, MADE EXPLICIT

Outcome distributions

Intervals and densities reflect your assumptions. They are not statistical confidence in future market prices. No failures or market uncertainty are assumed until you enter them. Price and utilization shocks are sampled once per trial; fleet incidents follow a Poisson process.

FROM ASSUMPTION TO CASH

Monthly ledger

How the model works & what is excluded

The current preset reconciles to the 18-pod table: figures shown are the 3-year version; 3-, 6-, and 9-year options are available. The mortgage-based scenario separates facility amortization from lease duration. Its full-site setup basis includes readiness and pre-opening; financed scope is not yet agreed. Its same-rate renewal is an illustration, not an adopted renewal policy. Progressive pricing is experimental: capital recovery plus margin tiers and a separate scarcity charge, followed by the unchanged 20% company profit share.

The invoice ceiling includes rent, direct-cost reimbursements and hardware installments. The separate profit allocation is outside it. Unpaid capital remains on its ledger; this is a funding exposure, not automatically a collectible debt. Exit settlements are shown separately from operating invoices and are illustrative, not legal terms.

WUP net cash subtracts facility investment and actual operating cash spending once. Client net cash subtracts investor hardware funding and the initial reserve. The reserve remains restricted; it is not released automatically. Debt mode changes WUP equity cash flows. Residual assets and remaining debt are not silently added to terminal value.

Price-axis values multiply the entire phase schedule. Monthly repricing uses trailing margin; the explicitly entered launch reference remains fixed when prices change, so repricing and renewal cannot erase earned participation. Renewal base rent defaults to 20% of the original base; the renewal fleet benchmark can be entered separately.

Power consumption is a scenario, not live telemetry. Billing utilization does not scale electricity automatically. Facility overhead, supply, pod and rack limits constrain deliverable capacity. Curtailment uses a proportional throughput approximation; it is not an engineering power-performance curve.

Extra incident parts are incremental to the maintenance allowance unless you allocate some of that allowance to parts. Stock purchasing, reserve accrual and cash spending are shown separately. Incident repair begins after required parts arrive; overlapping outages cannot exceed the operating fleet. Failover requires both configured standby pods and spare electrical capacity. Standby hardware, insurance and maintenance are funded in the scenario.

Taxes, land acquisition, future hardware price discovery, sales costs and residual resale values are excluded unless entered. Refresh costs and assumed performance are separate inputs. Continuation beyond five years is conditional without a specified refresh. All costs and risk distributions remain editable planning assumptions.
