Scenarios
Hand-picked anchor dilemmas. Click to preview or request the full build.
Three customers haven't paid (30 days overdue, £12k+ each). One is long-term, one is new, one is small. Call them all personally today, send formal late-payment reminders, or trust the automated credit-control sequence?
50% of next quarter's revenue is in USD. The pound is weak now. Hedge at current rate (£8k in fees, locks in profit), partial hedge (£4k), or let it float?
£3M decision: buy equipment, lease, or delay 12 months. Demand forecast is unclear. Buy (long payback), lease (higher long-run cost, flexibility), or delay (risk of capacity shortage)?
Internal forecasts show going-concern risk within 18 months without major action. Aggressive cost reduction (people impact), divest unprofitable segments (signals to market), or raise capital at higher cost?
Also available as a Standard Sim
