> The same year modelled several ways — base, best, worst — and compared.

Accounting → Budgets → Scenarios.

One budget, several versions of it. Typically a base case, a best case and the downside you plan your cash buffer against.

**Exactly one scenario is the baseline.** It is what variance is measured against, and marking a new one as baseline clears the old one automatically.

**Deriving rather than re-keying:** give a scenario assumptions — revenue down 20%, costs up 5% — and IntuBu builds it from the baseline. Change the assumption, not two hundred cells.

**Comparing:** the comparison view shows every scenario's revenue, cost and profit side by side, with each one's difference from the baseline.
