Cash Forecasting
Risk Management
Models manage cash on paper and miss what keeps a company solvent: a liquidity forecast that ignores timing, an FX hedge that leaves the real exposure open, a funding plan that assumes the market is always there.
Models talk about markets like a textbook and trade like they've never been filled: a strategy that ignores the bid-ask, a hedge that's wrong by a Greek, position sizing with no respect for slippage or where the liquidity actually is.

Risk Selection
Models bind a risk no underwriter would touch: a premium that ignores the loss history, exclusions that don't match the exposure, a claim decision that misreads the policy language.

Models love a founder's story and can't tell a real market from a rounded-up one: a TAM built by multiplying optimism, traction metrics that don't cohort, a moat that's really just a feature.

Models reach for an actuarial answer and fumble the long-tail math: a reserve that ignores development, mortality assumptions applied to the wrong cohort, discounting that quietly breaks the present value.

Equity Research
Models write an equity note that sounds like the sell side and falls apart under a covering analyst's read: an estimate that ignores guidance, a target price with no bridge from the model, a thesis that forgets the last three quarters actually happened.

Hand a model a revenue arrangement and it writes a confident memo, then misapplies the ASC 606 steps, parks a lease in the wrong place under ASC 842, drops a required disclosure, and presents a non-GAAP measure the SEC would flag.

Models approve a borrower that any underwriter would flag: cash-flow coverage computed off the wrong line, covenants that don't bite, a rating that ignores where we are in the cycle. Someone has to find the default risk hiding in a clean-looking spread, and that someone is you.

Ask a model to build a forecast and it returns a clean-looking model whose drivers do not connect, whose assumptions defy the business, and whose variance bridge does not tie to actuals. The formatting is immaculate; the logic leaks.

Models build an LBO that returns a tidy IRR and skip the parts that make or break a deal: a debt schedule that ignores the covenants, an entry multiple with no exit story, diligence that takes management's projections at face value.

A model will design an audit approach that reads well and would never survive review: a sample that tests the wrong assertion, a control it calls effective without evidence, a materiality call set where it is convenient.
