LBO Model Help

I'm struggling to figure out the best way to structure an LBO model (tab by tab). Is this somewhat like how most people do it?

  1. Assumptions
  2. Sources & Uses
  3. Operating Model (do you also put your b/s and cfs here?)
  4. Debt Schedule
  5. Returns Analysis
  6. Outputs
  7. Historical Financials
