What makes these models capacity-based?
They include operating assumptions tied to capacity or utilization. Depending on the business, that can mean seats, memberships, machines, transaction volume, plant output, production yield or available products.
Does every model automatically cap sales at capacity?
Capacity logic varies by model. Some forecasts use maximum output and utilization inputs, while others compare assumed activity with available capacity. Review the capacity note and individual model page to confirm how the chosen template works.
Can I model expansion?
