You need financial projections. But every path is painful.
"I spent two weeks on a spreadsheet and it still doesn't work."
Building financial models from scratch takes 15–60 hours. Most people give up or produce something they can't trust.
"A freelancer quoted me $1,500. For a spreadsheet."
Hiring a financial analyst costs $300–$3,000. For many founders and managers, that's not in the budget.
"I don't even know what a DCF is."
You shouldn't need a finance degree to project your business's future. But every template assumes you have one.
Three steps. Five minutes. A model you can trust.
Answer a few simple questions about your revenue, costs, and goals. Our wizard guides you — no jargon, no blank spreadsheets. Smart defaults handle the rest. Not ready to share your numbers? Hit "Prefill with dummy data" to explore first — then customize everything locally.
Step 1 of 4 — Tell us about your business
Three specialized AI agents work together: one designs the structure, one builds the spreadsheet, and one stress-tests every formula. This is why your model is reliable — not just fast.
Get a polished Excel file with real formulas, scenario analysis (Conservative / Expected / Optimistic), and a validation report. Open it, tweak it, present it.
5 tabs • 3 scenarios • Validation report included
Not a template. A custom model built for your business.
Every model comes with three scenarios: Conservative, Expected, and Optimistic. One-click toggle in Excel — change the scenario and the entire model recalculates instantly.
No hardcoded numbers. Every cell contains a real Excel formula you can inspect, modify, and extend. Blue cells are inputs. Black cells are calculations. Fully transparent.
Before you download, an adversarial AI reviewer stress-tests every formula, validates scenario wiring, and checks for errors. You get a Validation Report showing exactly what was checked.

These are actual models generated by ProjectionLab. Download, open in Excel, and inspect every formula yourself.

The quality of a freelancer. The speed of AI. The price of a template.
