## Sensitivity Analysis: [Decision/Project]

### Variable Impact Ranking

| Variable | Base | Low Case | High Case | Impact |
|----------|------|----------|-----------|--------|
| Price | $100 | $85 (-15%) | $115 (+15%) | $30M |
| Volume | 1M | 800K | 1.2M | $25M |
| Cost | $50 | $45 | $55 | $20M |
| Mix | 50/50 | 40/60 | 60/40 | $10M |

### Scenario Analysis

| Scenario | NPV | Probability | Expected Value |
|----------|-----|-------------|----------------|
| Base Case | $100M | 50% | $50M |
| Optimistic | $150M | 20% | $30M |
| Pessimistic | $60M | 30% | $18M |
| **Expected** | | | **$98M** |

### Key Findings

1. **Most sensitive**: Price (±$30M impact)
2. **Least sensitive**: Mix (±$10M impact)
3. **Breakeven**: [Analysis]

### Risk Mitigation

1. [Mitigation for most sensitive variable]
2. [Mitigation for second most sensitive]

Tips#

• Focus on top 5-7 variables
• Use realistic ranges
• Show both upside and downside
