SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It eliminates slow, single-option budgeting debates by producing a fast, side-by-side forecast of outcomes for 2–4 marketing budget scenarios.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scenario comparison with directional projections: Tests multiple channel-mix and budget allocations against a baseline to show revenue and ROI deltas.
  • Risk-aware ranking: Adds simple risk indicators based on channel concentration and assumption sensitivity so teams can choose between best return and best risk-adjusted return.
  • Practical planning for near-term decisions: Designed as the lighter alternative to full Monte Carlo simulation when you need answers quickly for meetings and short planning cycles.

Quick Start

Run /digital-marketing-pro:what-if and provide 2–4 named scenarios with channel-level budget allocations and expected ROI per channel, plus your current baseline budget as the reference.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare marketing budget scenarios side-by-side to project ROI?▼

Comparing marketing budget scenarios requires defining a Scenario 0 baseline and 2–4 alternative channel mixes, then projecting point-estimate revenue and ROI deltas with variance bands to generate a side-by-side ranking.

What is the best way to do a quick risk assessment for alternative channel mixes?▼

Risk assessment for channel mixes involves applying simple risk indicators based on channel concentration and assumption sensitivity. This approach ranks options by best return versus best risk-adjusted return without needing full Monte Carlo simulation.

Can I use scenario analysis for short-term marketing planning cycles?▼

Yes, scenario analysis is designed for near-term decisions and short planning cycles. It applies ramp and diminishing-returns adjustments to project outcomes across paid, content, and organic channels quickly for meetings.

How many alternative budget allocations can I evaluate at once?▼

You can evaluate 2 to 4 alternative budget allocations simultaneously. The tool compares these named scenarios against your current baseline budget to produce a recommended option with directional projections.

When should I avoid using rapid scenario analysis for marketing budgets?▼

You should avoid rapid scenario analysis when you need full Monte Carlo simulation or complex long-term modeling instead of point-estimate projections. It is built for fast directional forecasting and simple variance bands, not exhaustive risk modeling.
