Scenario Modelling
FAQs about creating, comparing, and applying cashflow scenarios in BCB.
- What is scenario modelling?
Scenario modelling lets you test future decisions and potential endeavours without effecting your real data - How do I create a manual scenario?
To create a scenario, simply click ‘Manual’ in the top right corner of the scenario manager

- Can I make an AI scenario?
BCB allows you to create AI assisted scenarios. Begin by clicking ‘AI assisted’ in the top right corner. Here you can write a brief summary of what your scenario would be, click ‘Create and start a chat’ to continue.
This creates a chat with the AI, where it begins by asking questions to ensure your chosen scenario is correct.
The scenario then reflects in the Cashflow page, showing you a visual representation of how your potential scenario affects your balance and cashflow. 
- How do I change my scenario to my baseline/apply my scenario?
Simply click ‘Apply’ under your scenario to add it to your baseline. This makes your scenario the new baseline. E.g. If I decided to hire the two new staff under the conditions outlined in my scenario.
- Can I compare multiple scenarios?
Yes. You can view multiple scenarios on the cashflow page. You can also choose to remove the baseline from view by clicking the box next to ‘Baseline’.
- Do scenarios affect my data?
No. Scenarios are separate from your data and are represented by a dashed line in cashflow, while your accurate baseline is a solid line. Scenarios only become part of your baseline cashflow representation if you Apply them. A scenario will never change your actual data imported from Xero/MYOB.
- Can scenarios be duplicated/copied?
Scenarios cannot be copied/duplicated at this stage. To create a replica of a previous scenario you will need to create a new one.
- What is the best way to use a scenario?
Scenarios can be used for whatever you need. Whether that be testing hiring, pricing changes, equipment purchases, or future plans for growth.
- Can I model best and worst case outcomes?
Yes. Scenario modelling is ideal for stress-testing different outcomes before they are put in practice.
