Prove the buyer, batch and cash case before you build
The worked 50 kg seed batch records 400 kg harvested, 40 kg rejected and 360 kg accepted. At 11% measured dry matter, saleable output is 39.6 kg DM from 44.5 kg input DM. The KSh 11,520 invoice less KSh 8,650 operating cost leaves KSh 2,870 before setup, tax, finance or owner withdrawals. This is an illustration, not a yield or profit forecast, and the dry-matter cost screen does not establish nutritional equivalence.
The workbook separates invoices from receipts. With a one-month payment lag, KSh 15,000 opening cash and KSh 9,000 setup spend, the example closes Month 1 at negative KSh 2,650. It reports receivables and the peak cash shortfall so a buyer can test a paid trial and collection terms before investing.
Included: a 25-page field guide, five-page free sample and seven-sheet editable workbook covering measured batches, buyer tests, cost comparisons and 12-month cash flow.
