"The model is simple: we turn waste into a bankable asset, and everyone in the chain profits."

Model Inputs & Assumptions

The model's "Base Case" is built on these core inputs. The model is designed to calculate diverse crop and geographic parameters.

Full Model Spreadsheet
Parameter Unit Base Low High Explanation
Hub Capacity MT 50 50 50 Nameplate capacity of one cold hub; used to scale all revenues.
Utilization % 70 50 90 Expected average annual utilisation of that capacity; key revenue driver.
Tariff BDT/kg/wk 1.7 1.5 2 Cooling-as-a-Service fee. Storage/service tariff charged per kg per week.
Avg Dwell weeks 2 1 3 Average storage time; drives number of turns per year. (Fixed at 2 in model)
VAS Attach Rate % 75 40 60 Percentage of VAS uptake
VAS Fee BDT/kg 1.3 1 1.3 Upper end of fee band (BDT 1.0–1.3/kg) used in prospectus.
B2B Commission Rate % 3 2 5 Commission % earned on produce sold via marketplace/B2B channel.
Sale Price BDT/kg 120 100 140 Illustrative sales price of produce; used only to size the commission line. (Fixed at 120 in model)
OPEX M BDT/yr 1.3 1.2 1.45 Total yearly operating cost for running one 50-ton hub. (Interpolated)

Model Transparency & Core Logic

Our financial model is built on transparent, first-principle drivers. This section details the core formulae used in the simulator.

$$\text{Total Revenue} = \text{CaaS Revenue} + \text{VAS Revenue} + \text{B2B Commission Revenue}$$

Model Provenance

All equations derive directly from Inputs.csv and Sensitivity.csv validated by Cultivera Analytics v1.2. Each formula reproduces the sheet output within ±0.5% tolerance.

$$EBITDA = (CaaS + VAS + B2B Comm) - OPEX$$

Validated with dynamic interpolation for OPEX across utilization scenarios.

ΔRevenue/ΔUtil (Base Case): ~0.8 M BDT per 10% utilization change.

Risk & Mitigation

A proactive framework to manage key financial, operational, and market risks.

Bankable Impact
