Course overview
Lesson Overview
4.35 – Using Sensitivity Analysis in Risk Forecasting: Sensitivity analysis tests how small changes in variables affect outcomes. This lesson shows how to apply it to financial models, pricing, and demand projections. By adjusting one factor at a time, entrepreneurs can identify which assumptions carry the most risk. Sensitivity testing strengthens forecasting accuracy and decision confidence. It helps determine worst-case and best-case scenarios objectively. Incorporating this method into feasibility studies improves preparedness for real-world volatility.
