How a Fixed Feasibility Report and an Editable Workbook Differ
Example: St. Petersburg, Florida reference case. Sample, not a forecast.
A feasibility report and a calculation workbook can look like two versions of the same thing. They do different jobs, and knowing the difference helps you choose what you need.
A fixed report documents one case
The report describes one sample scenario from start to finish: the assumptions, the investment, the cash flows and the results. Its figures are fixed. If you edit a number in the Word file, nothing recalculates. That is useful when you want to understand how an analysis is built and which assumptions drive it.
An editable workbook recalculates with your figures
A workbook holds the same logic as formulas. You replace the example inputs with your own, and the results update. The report does not change when you change the workbook; it stays a record of the sample case.
Which Feasivio package includes what
- Starter: the report and a separate sources annex, in Word and PDF. No workbook.
- Professional: the report, plus an 8-tab workbook. You enter your figures in the yellow "Your value" cells on the Inputs tab.
- Premium: the report with scenario, sensitivity and threshold sections, plus a 10-tab workbook. You can keep two more assumption sets in Scenario 2 and Scenario 3 columns. Only one set is active at a time; you choose it on the Scenarios tab.
What the input checks do, and what they don't
The workbooks include a Checks tab and a status line on the Results tab. The checks confirm that inputs are complete and inside their allowed ranges. They do not judge whether your assumptions are realistic, and they do not confirm that a source is current or correct. Reaching "all checks passed" means the model can calculate, not that the numbers fit your site.
Choosing between them
If you want to read a worked example, the report alone may be enough. If you want to test your own rent, prices, utilization and investment, you need the workbook.
