Draft outline details
Step by step
- Define drivers: sellers onboarded, listings per seller, orders per listing, countries.
- Measure existing ratios (requests per order) and choose analogies for new ones, marking assumptions.
- Build low, base, and high cases for years one to three and add campaign peaks.
- Identify the services that saturate first and the lead time for each fix.
- Planned mistake: assume marketplace traffic looks like retail traffic. Fix: model seller bulk uploads and feed syncs, which move the bottleneck to listing ingestion and search indexing.
- Present the forecast with sensitivity and the review schedule.
