How it works

From question to answer
in three steps

CapPlan turns complex capital planning calculations into guided, plain-language analyses anyone can run.

01
Find your model
The solution finder asks a few plain-language questions about your decision and routes you to the right model instantly — no guesswork about which tool applies to your situation.
02
Enter your numbers
Each model walks you through inputs with clear labels and guidance on where to find the data. Built-in estimators handle the figures that are hard to know precisely. Load an example to see how it works first.
03
Understand the answer
Results include a clear recommendation, sensitivity analysis showing how the answer shifts under different assumptions, and full DCF workings. Every result explains not just what, but why.
