What are the types of Scenario analysis?Here are my favorite 7 types.1๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฒ๐๐ / ๐ช๐ผ๐ฟ๐๐ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผDescription: The best case scenario assumes the most favorable conditions for the business. Involves optimistic assumptions like sales growth, market conditions, etc. The worst case considers the worst possible conditions that could reasonably occur. Purpose: Used for risk assessment and to ensure that the business can survive under adverse conditions.2๏ธโฃ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐Description: This involves changing one key factor at a time (like sales volume, price, cost, etc.) to see how sensitive the model is to changes in that factor.Purpose: Helps in understanding which variables have the most significant impact on the financial outcomes.3๏ธโฃ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ-๐๐๐ฒ๐ป ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐Description: This scenario determines the point at which total costs and total revenue are equal, i.e., there is no net loss or gain.Purpose: Used to understand the minimum performance level required to avoid losses.4๏ธโฃ ๐ฆ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐๐ ๐ง๐ฒ๐๐๐ถ๐ป๐ดDescription: Involves applying extreme conditions or shocks to a single factor or a combination of factors in the model (e.g., sudden market crash, rapid interest rate changes).Purpose: To test the resilience of the financial model under extreme but plausible conditions.5๏ธโฃ ๐ ๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐น๐ผ ๐ฆ๐ถ๐บ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ปDescription: A more complex form of scenario analysis that uses random sampling and statistical modeling to estimate possible outcomes.Purpose: To account for risk and uncertainty in quantitative analysis and decision-making.6๏ธโฃ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐-๐ฆ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ป๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ผ๐Description: Tailored to specific industries, these scenarios take into account factors unique to a particular sector (like regulatory changes in pharmaceuticals, technology shifts in IT, etc.).Purpose: To provide more detailed and relevant insights for businesses operating in specific sectors.7๏ธโฃ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ด๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐๐ป๐ฎ๐น๐๐๐ถ๐Description: Examines the impact of potential changes in laws or regulations on the financial model.Purpose: To prepare for changes in the regulatory environment.------------๐ In finance, we can't level up our skills and careers without knowing how to build sustainable models.
