I've been through this, gotta say: off-season cash flow depends on a few factors. Gather the data first, don't make emotional decisions.

Another perspective: maybe the core issue with off-season cash flow is something else. Think about it like this...

Im writing this so you dont make the same mistake. A two-week notebook guides you more than a six-month forecast.

Calculate how many months you can survive without revenue then halve that number. anyway of course, it varies if your situation is different.

If you're going this route, sort this out first. Everyone rushing into off-season cash flow gets stuck at the same point.

Quick summary for newcomers: Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

Proven by experience.

I felt relieved reading this answer so it's not just me. Start with a small trial; don't commit to everything at once.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

I'm writing this so you don't make the same mistake. Processes without records never improve because you don't know what to fix.

If you don't write this down from the start, it leads to arguments later. This is my opinion I'm not claiming it's absolute truth.

There are three things to check when doing this... Mistakes made on the off-season cash flow side are usually reversible but expensive.

You're right, I've been down that road too. The answer varies greatly by industry; there is no one-size-fits-all rule.

I'm also curious if anyone does it differently.

Let me share my experience. Look where the bucket leaks; pouring water on top doesn't solve it.

Splitting your budget without knowing where you're losing users is just throwing money in the dark.

we got stuck at the same point for a while. tbh the real issue isn't the number, but what it's based on.

if you post the reuslt here, it will help others too.
