⚠️ Interpolation Method & Critical Limitations
Method: Straight-line interpolation where each quarterly figure is divided by 3 to estimate monthly values within that quarter.
Critical Limitations:
- Unrealistic assumption: Equal monthly distribution ignores actual business patterns
- No seasonality: Meta's Q4 revenues are typically 20-30% higher due to holiday advertising
- No business cycles: Doesn't reflect actual revenue recognition or cash flow patterns
- Advertising seasonality: Digital ad spending varies significantly month-to-month
- External factors ignored: Economic events, product launches, policy changes
- Academic exercise only: Should NOT be used for financial decision-making
⚠️ WARNING: Meta's actual monthly performance varies dramatically from these linear estimates. This is purely an academic interpolation exercise.
