Apply validation to the two rows of revenue cells so that they display a warning if you enter income of less than £100k (on the grounds that this is probably a typing error):

Modify the two styles called InputMoney and InputPercent so that they unlock any cells to which they are applied, then apply protection to your Inputs worksheet to prevent anyone inadvertently changing any non-input cells.
Save this file as Robust model, then close it down.
