Hey all,
Looking to practice the skill of intuiting and defending assumptions for operating model forecasts within the context of an Associate-level case study. I'm comfortable with the mechanics of an LBO model but am looking to take the next step -- how do associates in the real world create and defend drivers, and what's an effective way to build the muscle? Thanks!
