Build investor-ready financial forecasts directly in Excel using AI.

Skip opaque templates. Pellucid sets up a driver-based model for your business through a clarifying conversation, then generates Profit & Loss, Cash Flow and Balance Sheet outputs you can explain; and that investors can audit with the Excel tools they already trust.

Your data stays yours.

Pellucid Forecasting works inside your Excel workbook. We help you set up drivers, rates, and the outputs you need; we do not train on your data, keep a copy of it, or treat your numbers as ours.

No training on your data

Your transactions, assumptions, and models are never used to train shared models or improve the product for other customers.

No copies stored

We do not retain a copy of your spreadsheet on our servers. What you enter stays in your workbook unless you choose to share it with us directly.

Setup and outputs in Excel

Our role is to help you structure the model and produce the forecasts you need. You stay in control of the file and the results.

Built for trust

Forecasting works best when you can explain every number. Keeping your data local and under your ownership is part of that promise.

How it works

Describe your business. Answer a few questions. Get a forecast.

Pellucid’s AI asks for the driver details that matter—then builds drivers, rates, and a linked forecast in Excel you can explain.

Pellucid

You

We operate a climbing gym with memberships and casual visitors.

Pellucid

Got it. A few driver details so I can build the model:

  • How many climbers?
  • How much will each climber pay?
  • What are the various passes?
  • What are the costs?
Driver 500 climbers / month
Rate $25 / climber
Revenue $12,500 / month

Professional forecast

Profit & Loss, Cash Flow, and Balance Sheet—linked so one change updates the whole model.

Use case

Car wash forecasting in cars washed, not jargon.

A worked example for an independent car wash. You run the site in vehicles through the bay and price per wash; Pellucid structures that into drivers, rates, and financial statements in Excel.

Sparkle Lane Car Wash

Independent car wash · POS or daily sales in Excel

Driver

Cars washed

What moves when you add a bay, extend hours, or a membership plan brings more volume.

Rates

Revenue per wash

Average price per wash turns volume into revenue and profit you can explain.

Scenario to test

+12% cars washed, −1 pt margin

A second bay lifts throughput; chemicals and labour squeeze margin. Change the driver and see income statement and cash flow update in the same workbook.
