Available modeling methods
| Method / input | Behavior |
|---|---|
| Amount / growth / absolute change | Set a level, grow a previous value or change it by an amount where the item supports it. |
| Operating drivers | Price × volume, customers × ARPU, Revenue per FTE and category-specific expense methods. |
| Balance drivers | Days for working capital; asset and loan schedules for long-term positions. |
| Reference methods | Percentages or per-unit relationships to eligible model items. |
Methods depend on the model item
The method picker shows the supported choices for that line. Revenue has different methods from tax, debt or personnel; not every generic driver is available everywhere. Simple uses global forecast assumptions. Advanced supports a method and its inputs for each forecast year, with Apply Forward for deliberate propagation.
Build depth where it changes the result
Start from an amount, then replace it with an operating driver when its assumptions are useful. For a services business, connect average FTE to revenue productivity and IT cost per FTE. Review dependencies before adding a reference that points back to its own result.
Current scope
The product uses annual model periods, explicit inputs and deterministic calculations. Detailed schedules, scenarios and adjustments are implemented; stochastic forecasting and Reverse Modeling are not available. A generated company is only a starting example, not the limit of supported methods.
Documents the current implemented behavior. Example assumptions are not market data.
