2026 Forecast Planning: Board vs Budget vs Bonus Explained

2026 Forecast Planning: Board vs Budget vs Bonus Explained

Most ecommerce brands build one forecast — and that’s why most forecasts are wrong.

In this episode of the Podcast, Richard and Luke break down the 3-forecast model that every high-performing brand should use when planning for 2026: Board. Budget. Bonus.

You’ll learn:

  • Why every brand needs three forecasts, not one

  • How to balance short-term execution (Black Friday) with long-term planning (2026)

  • How to model different outcomes for your board, your operating budget, and your team goals

  • How to use tools like percentage-over-model and event effect modeling to make forecasts actually useful

If you’re leading growth, finance, or operations at a 7 to 9 figure brand, this episode will help you plan smarter, forecast with confidence, and build a roadmap that aligns your team from boardroom to bonus.
