Driver-Based Assumptions

One knob, instant cascade.

Assumptions are the soul of a financial model. Instead of hard-coding numbers, ModelForge uses structured driver tables — revenue growth by segment, operating margin trends, tax rates, working capital days, capex intensity, and WACC components. Change any input and watch everything downstream reprice in under 50 ms.

What It Does

  • Revenue drivers: volume × price, organic + M&A splits
  • Margin progression: EBITDA, EBIT, net margin waterfall
  • Working capital: DSO, DPO, DIO with seasonality flags
  • Capex: maintenance vs. growth, asset lives, D&A schedules
  • WACC builder: risk-free, beta, ERP, credit spread, tax shield

Key Outputs

Fully parametric assumption table
Scenario switch (Base / Bull / Bear)
