A method for reconciling a launched recurring offer's actual revenue, churn and margin against the promised business case, with a register, a variance analysis and a decision-making review agenda.

What is inside

What the review pack covers

The asset takes a team from the approved investment case through rebuilding the benefits register, freezing baselines, extracting contract-level actuals, decomposing variances, testing attribution against counterfactuals, netting dis-benefits, grading realization evidence, and running a benefits review that produces recorded decisions and a corrected forecast.

  • Scope: the first and recurring reviews of a launched recurring offer
  • Rebuilding the promised benefits from the approved investment case
  • Freezing baselines and counterfactuals before actuals are read
  • Separating volume, price, cost and retention effects in the results
  • Attribution rules that stop two teams claiming the same benefit
  • Netting cannibalized revenue so only genuine new value is reported
  • A review meeting format that ends in continue, correct, stop or re-baseline
