Reverse DCF?

Recently I read through the newly released Expectations Investing edition and really enjoyed learning about the concept of a reverse DCF for an implied valuation based on current equity prices. I was wondering how often people working for hedge funds make use of this form of reverse DCF, if at all? If so, how granular do you make your models or do you make it as simple as possible without losing value?
