Plan Mode: Simulate and Optimize Your Deal Financials

Plan Mode is an advanced feature that allows you to simulate different deal scenarios and optimize your commitments to achieve precise deployment targets. This is especially valuable when dealing with variable fees that depend on total commitments, individual investor fees, and jurisdictional requirements.

The Problem Plan Mode Solves

Your deal's fees are highly variable and include:

• Filing fees that change based on total commitments
• Admin fees that vary by investor count and type
• Management fees that depend on jurisdiction and investor characteristics

This variability makes it difficult to project the exact dollar amount you'll be able to deploy after all fees are deducted, creating challenges in deal planning and investor communication.

What Plan Mode Enables

With Plan Mode, you can simulate and answer critical questions like:

1. Commitment Adjustments: "What would happen if LP A's commit of $50k goes down to $40k?"
2. Target Deployment: "I need to wire exactly $250k at the end. How much should I modify LP B's commit so I end with exactly $0 left in the bank account after all fees?"
3. Fee Impact Analysis: See how different commitment levels affect your total fee structure
4. Scenario Planning: Model multiple what-if scenarios before finalizing your deal

How to Open Plan Mode

1. Navigate to the Transactions page in your deal
2. Click Plan Mode in the top right of the transactions table

Plan Mode is available on SPVs that haven't been completed yet. It needs a wide screen, so the button is hidden on smaller ones.
