How it works
The cash flow is the list of money in and out by year. Write that list first.
- Open with the use, then the cash, then the flip tests, and end with leftovers.
- Keep sample math labeled as samples.
- Do not claim customers or results this site does not have.
- Point to the pilot if they want to try the workflow.
Formula in words. Story = fit + occupancy cash + sensitivity + leftovers.

How to read the sample
Sample NPV for the client-packet lease is about $368,002. A second path lands near $354,323. That gap is a talking point, not a promise.
A client can follow year one if you speak in cash, not slogans. If one path wins only because a credit sat in the wrong year, start over.

How to use this with OccupancyNPV
This page answers the concept. OccupancyNPV applies it inside a DealWorkspace: enter lease scenarios, review cash-flow and occupancy cost, then compare NPV and discount-rate sensitivity. OccupancyNPV NPV is not the same as a face-rent comparison. OccupancyNPV is not a CRM or lease-administration suite, and this page is not legal or investment advice.
