Cost models

Turn forecasts into a forward should-cost benchmark

A price forecast is most useful when it flows into your cost model. Vesper builds a should-cost model for the finished product, including non-ingredient costs like packaging, logistics, and energy, then projects it forward as sugar and sweetener forecasts move.

  • Bill-of-materials cost breakdown per sugar-based product
  • Non-ingredient costs included (packaging, energy, logistics)
  • Forward-looking should-cost as sweetener forecasts update
