the problem

One unverified number, and the whole budget falls apart.

Someone estimates catering "around 2,000 ₸ per person" once, off the top of their head. Two months later nobody remembers it was a guess — it's just "what the spreadsheet says." This is what we fix.

who it's for

You already plan events — this just makes the numbers hold up.

HR

Onboarding & offsites

Budgets that survive a finance review, not just a gut check.

PR

Launches & press events

Numbers you can defend when someone asks "where did this come from?"

EDU

Course & cohort launches

Per-attendee pricing that's based on reality, not last year's guess.

DEV

Career switchers

A concrete, non-code way into AI-assisted workflows — and a portfolio piece.

Hands-on: your budget

Groups build a real budget for their own scenario, sourced line by line.
