Run Cultivation Consumables From Shelf Use to Purchase Order
Connect day-to-day shelf use with reorder visibility and purchase-order history across facilities.
Estimate your cost per pound and break-even price. Enter your annual costs or build an expense worksheet, then see how yield and room timing affect the result.
Example values shown; enter your facility's numbers.
When the worksheet has items filled in, it overrides the total above.
The model treats the entered flower rooms as comparable and allocates annual costs evenly by occupied room-day. Run separate scenarios or allocate costs first when rooms or facilities differ materially.
Estimated surplus is retained flower revenue minus cost, after trim and other offsets. It is a planning estimate, not reported accounting or tax profit.
Scenario assumes the entered selling price and annual cost base stay unchanged as yield moves. Added production, processing, sales, and tax costs may reduce the result.

Cost per pound is a useful operating estimate, but it is only as complete as the costs and saleable output entered. Define the accounting scope first, then use the same scope when comparing rooms, facilities, or scenarios.
The worksheet offers more than 25 line items so commonly separated costs can be brought into one planning view. Include only costs that belong in the period and scope you are modeling, and avoid mixing facility-wide costs with a single-room output figure.
Many entered costs may be fixed or semi-fixed over the scenario period. Spreading that same modeled cost base over more saleable pounds lowers cost per pound mathematically. That does not mean extra output is free: production, processing, testing, packaging, sales, and taxes may also increase.
Treat the what-if slider as a fixed-cost scenario. It shows how the denominator changes if the entered cost base and selling price stay constant. Use your own variable-cost assumptions before treating the result as margin or profit.
Yield, saleable-grade mix, room utilization, turnaround, labor, energy, waste, downtime, and purchasing can all matter. The right priority depends on the facility's own numbers and constraints.
Cost per pound changes with accounting scope, facility type, utilization, quality grade, saleable yield, market, and channel. A number from another operator is only useful when those definitions match. Your own room-to-room and run-to-run comparisons are usually the cleaner starting point.
Treat cost per pound as a repeatable operating review, not a one-time answer. Start with a consistent accounting scope, then model one plausible change at a time and verify the result against actual production and financial records.
Review crop timing, saleable yield, labor, energy, downtime, waste, purchasing, and harvest-to-harvest variation against your own records. Use the Grow Efficiency Scorecard for reference-band scenarios, or the Yield Consistency Check to quantify relative variation in recent harvests.
