Most jimmy-rigged, nasty model or chart you’ve seen?

Powerpoint and Excel. I’m talking about handmade alterations to charts which require 5 steps to update. Additional pasted boxes and lines and shapes. Pasting two charts on top of each other because there are too many axes. Hardcoding some assumption and sticking it in FDA5671 in Excel and that assumption runs everything. Hidden toggles. The nastiest of the nasty. The TLC’s Hoarders version of Wall Street. Banking outputs that are held together with chewing gum and sinew and grime. I want to hear all about it.
