Incoming RX analyst: what’s the goalpost for “strong modeler”?

Hey everyone — starting in restructuring soon and I’m trying to calibrate what people mean when they say someone is a “strong modeler.”

I’m not looking for confidential models or anything proprietary. I’m trying to understand the goalpost and build toward it.

When you think of the best modelers you’ve worked with, what did that actually look like in practice?

If anyone has blank templates, anonymized screenshots, or publicly shareable models/resources that represent “best practice,” I’d really appreciate it (even just a screenshot of layout or a file with dummy numbers).
