Develop the plan bottoms up, with relevant line items
“Bottoms up” means planning where the financials are built up from low levels of detail. This is in contrast to planning “tops down”, where revenues are extrapolated from market size and share assumptions, and expenses are forecasted as percentages of revenues.
