Business simulation | Monte Carlo style (Agile Malaysia as a business)
Research Method
• The "Upper & Lower Range Inputs" are derived from digital marketing experts (Calibrated Probability Assessment) to provide an estimate of what Agile Malaysia can achieve given its target audience and resources available.
• The "Upper & Lower Range Inputs" are inserted into a formula to calculate the LTV and CPA.
• A Monte Carlo Simulation is then used to derive various possible combinations of "Upper & Lower Range Inputs" at a 95% confidence interval. The sample size of the simulation is 22190.
• Each LTV and CPA output from the simulation is collected and stored into their respective "Bins" to obtain a histogram shown in the next slide.
