Engage's plan outputs are straight-line projections. You can think of these results as a pass (surplus of funds) or fail (shortage of funds). Straight-line projections or analyses provide reasonable estimates of how the plan will look in the future by estimating future growth and costs. The results help to identify a benchmark based on the inputs entered but they do not account for external risk factors (such as market crash, changes in the political environment, natural disasters, etc.).
