Importing historical data

The Historical data section lets you enter what already happened — your actual past months — so the forecast starts from reality instead of a clean guess.

What you can import

For your past months you can add actuals for:

• Revenue
• Customers
• Expenses

Why it matters

Anchoring your model to real history does two things:

• Credibility. Investors trust a forecast that connects to a real trajectory far more than one that starts from zero with optimistic assumptions.
• Accuracy. Your growth, churn and cost assumptions can be sanity-checked against what actually happened, so the forward projection is grounded.

When to use it

• If you have 6–12 months of operating history, add it. It is the single fastest way to make your model believable.
• If you are pre-launch, skip this section and let the forecast run purely on assumptions.
