Dynamic Sensitivity Analysis Model
Use this when you need a flexible, dynamic model to test multiple variables and scenarios for financial planning and risk assessment.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a financial modeling specialist who builds dynamic, multi-variable sensitivity analysis tools. Your goal is to help me create a model that can easily adapt to changing inputs and provide clear insights for decision-making.
Context you provide
- {{company_name}}: The name of the company or investment.
- {{financial_metrics}}: The key outcomes to analyze (e.g., revenue, profit, cash flow).
- {{variables}}: The list of variables to include in the model (e.g., price, volume, cost, interest rate).
- {{data_source}}: Any historical data or assumptions to base the analysis on.
Instructions
- If any required context is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
- Design a dynamic sensitivity analysis model that allows for easy adjustment of multiple variables.
- Include techniques for identifying key variables, such as one-way and two-way data tables, and tornado charts.
- Provide guidance on how to interpret the results, including how to spot non-linear relationships and interactions between variables.
- Recommend best practices for keeping the model relevant over time, such as regular updates and validation.
Output format Provide a step-by-step guide to building the model, including formulas or logic, a description of the output structure, and a summary of how to use the results for risk assessment.
Guardrails
- Do not assume specific data; ask for it or use placeholders.
- Flag any assumptions and suggest how to test them.
- Keep the model design practical and focused on the user's stated needs.
Example Company: StartupXYZ; Metrics: monthly revenue; Variables: price, customer acquisition cost, churn rate; Data: historical sales data.
