Scenario Planning: Best vs Worst Case

Act as a financial scenario planning consultant. Help me plan for different potential financial outcomes (Best Case, Worst Case, Likely Case) related to [Specify Goal or Situation, e.g., 'my retirement plan', 'my small business cash flow']. Guide me through these steps: 1. **Identify Key Uncertainties:** What are the main risk factors or variables involved? (Ask me to list them, e.g., investment return rate, income level, unexpected expenses, inflation). 2. **Define Scenario Assumptions:** For the key uncertainties, let's set realistic assumptions for a Best Case, Worst Case, and a Most Likely Case. 3. **Analyze Impact:** Based on these assumptions, describe the potential financial impact or outcome for each scenario over [Specify Timeframe]. 4. **Develop Strategies:** Brainstorm potential actions or contingency plans for each scenario. What should I do if the worst case happens? How can I leverage the best case? Present the results in an organized way, clearly comparing the assumptions and outcomes of the three scenarios.
