Various Scenarios in Your Model

Happy New Year everyone.

I'm putting together a model as supplementary content for BB bank that I'm the process with. I'm currently building out my sales projection (for a HC sector company, non biotech/pharma) and a dilemma popped up. Should I have Base, Outperform, Underperform sales scenarios in my model?

The reason I ask is that I have several models from my internship that top ER analysts put together, and there are no different scenarios for sales projections. Just one. I'm thinking that these 4 analysts were confident in there projection and only felt the need to have one case. These models are also highly complex. One is for XOM and is a beast.

Do the models that you put together, or models you grab from SS analysts have various scenarios that you can alter?

I'm thinking that I should just throw it in there. However I'm going pretty granular and breaking it down by each product (this is a multi bn company) and dont want things to look cluttered. I guess I can just build it so it shows only the selected case at a time.

Appreciate the help / advice.

Yep that's kinda what I figured. Appreciate the feedback. I'm going to go with 3 different cases and have a thesis tailored to each product. 

What do you do for your models?

Your instagram is great btw

Go all the way
