Thanks - glad you like the idea!
You’re totally right that these aren’t the best examples to show the real value of the approach. We wanted to keep things super simple to start getting feedback, but are working on a more involved example now. DCF valuations and options pricing sound like great ideas – will look into them!
What do you mean re: citations? Validating Causal models using forecasts from other means?
- georgespencer 7y agoIn forecasting folks will often use external data. For example let's say you have six different estimates on the growth potential of a market from six external reports. It'd be cool to be able to specify that a range of assumptions have citations. At the moment folks do this using accompanying appendices to financial models, which is pretty gross.
- refrigerator 7y agoAhh gotcha — yes that makes a lot of sense! Would love to chat to you more about this stuff - will email you :)
- somberi 7y agoTaimur - Congrats and I signed up as well. To me, one of the advantages of representing the story in a probabilistic way, similar to how you have shown it, is that I am able to sell an idea to my audience. If you are looking for use cases to build for a demo, in addition to DCF, as someone suggested before, you might want to consider currency movements and also IRR calculations. One feature request, if I may, is the ability to manipulate the end result (time horizon in the demo of rent vs buy) and see how it impacts one of the features (rent, market return, etc). All the best and glad to discuss.
