Frequently Asked Questions

How do I forecast revenue?

Bottom-up forecasting multiplies expected units sold by price. Top-down starts with market size and estimates market share. For existing businesses, use historical growth rates with adjustments. For SaaS: Forecast MRR = Current MRR + New MRR - Churned MRR + Expansion MRR. Always model best, expected, and worst case scenarios.
