Keep units consistent
All revenue, gross profit, savings, and residual values use USD millions.
Turn eight margin points into exact dollars.
Illustrative assumptions only. Test whether the named savings levers actually close the future gross-profit bridge.

DOLLAR BRIDGE / USD MILLIONS
Calculate to expose the future-revenue and gross-profit equations.
Engines ready
The denominator grows too.
A margin target applies to future revenue, not today's base. Every savings lever adds gross profit dollars. The residual gap shows what the strategy still has to fund.
Separate target from forecast
The tool tests internal coherence. It does not predict growth, timing, or execution.
Stress the denominator
Higher revenue growth increases the dollar bridge even when the margin-point target is unchanged.
