Phase 5: Model
Build valuation, DCF, and scenario models for strategic decisions.
Purpose
The Model phase builds structured financial models — discounted cash flow, comparable analysis, LBO, or custom models — to support strategic decisions such as fundraising, M&A, or investment evaluation.
Usage
/finance:model <project>Prerequisites
The budget must exist at .metapowers/finance/<project>/04-budget.md.
What It Does
- Selects the appropriate modeling framework for the decision context
- Builds the model structure with assumptions, drivers, and outputs
- Links financial statements (income, balance sheet, cash flow)
- Calculates valuation metrics (enterprise value, equity value, multiples)
- Writes models to
.metapowers/finance/<project>/05-model.md
Output
Creates .metapowers/finance/<project>/05-model.md containing:
- Financial model with linked statements
- Valuation outputs and key metrics
- Assumption documentation
- Model structure and driver descriptions
Next Phase
After modeling, proceed to Review to monitor performance and reforecast.
