Practice files you can inspect and adapt

Start with the guide alongside each file. These resources demonstrate a process; they are not paid client projects or evidence of earnings. All sample shop records, application outcomes and calculator rates are fictional.

How to use the files

Keep an untouched original, work on a copy and explain any change you make. Use the examples for learning and adaptation; retain a practice label and acknowledge this source when reusing supplied material. Do not claim the supplied work was commissioned by a real client. No macros or external data connections are required.

The Payment and Runway sheets use entered assumptions, not current provider quotes or personalised financial advice. The matching online guides explain the calculation order and limitations: payment calculator and runway calculator.
