During a recent acquisition integration, we modelled five synergy scenarios in Fabric Plan across 22 cost dimensions. The ability to lock a baseline and create scenario layers on top was genuinely game-changing compared to our previous approach of branched Excel files. Key lesson: name your scenarios with dates, not just labels. 'Optimistic' means nothing in six months; '2025-Q3-Optimistic-v2' is self-documenting.
