To make revenue estimates more specific, use these best practices: 1. Analyze historical data - Look at past performance patterns and trends 2. Use management's earnings guidance as your starting point 3. Apply financial modeling with analyst assumptions to adjust guidance 4. Consider industry trends, business cycle position, and economic conditions to inform forecasts 5. Focus on industry-specific growth drivers and efficiency metrics, especially for high-growth companies 6. Verify data sources and calculation methods to ensure accuracy These approaches help narrow broad ranges by incorporating multiple data points and validation methods.

Hi Chris, Thank you for reaching out to the support team. In order for me to help strategise how best to narrow down the fundraise, can you send me the table you're working from? Can you also provide me with a little more context on your use case? As soon as I have that information I'll be able to troubleshoot more effectively. I look forward to your response.

Hey, To get a more precise or updated revenue estimate, you can use an AI formula to interpret ranges like “10–50 million” and return a specific value—like the midpoint or a custom estimate. For example, if the range is “10 to 50 million,” you could prompt the formula to return 30,000,000 or any logic you choose. If you want the output formatted like “1,850,000” with commas, you can include that in your prompt as well. Let me know if you want help setting up the prompt or formatting.
