Using the Century Simulator
7 min read · Last updated 2024-07-28
The Century Simulator is a powerful long-term planning tool. It uses compound growth formulas to project the future of your business empire based on a set of core assumptions. By adjusting the sliders for revenue growth, cost growth, and expansion rate, you can model different scenarios and see their potential impact over 5 to 100 years.
The 'Projection Results' section provides a snapshot of key metrics for your chosen time horizon. The 'Revenue Trajectory' chart visualizes this growth over time. For very long time horizons, switching to a logarithmic scale can make it easier to understand the compounding nature of the growth.
Tip
The 'Scenario Comparison' table at the bottom is perfect for comparing a conservative, base, and aggressive growth model side-by-side. This is invaluable for strategic planning and board discussions about long-term goals.
