Model future storage needs by projecting incoming accessions against current shelf capacity over five years: build a rolling forecast sheet using annual accession rates, current shelf metres and average item size, use FORECAST to project yearly needs, and produce a five‑year summary chart for the next board meeting.

Before I present to the facilities director, make the forecast defensible and flexible: build a rolling five‑year model with adjustable accession scenarios (low/expected/high), include current usable shelf metres and average item volume, show when capacity is exceeded and present mitigation options with costed shelving increments so the director can budget with confidence.

Questions people ask

honest answers

No. Each page gives you a ready prompt you can paste into an AI assistant, plus the plain steps to do it yourself. Start with either — the goal is the finished job, not the tool.
