Faster Model Building with Simplified Syntax

Build financial models 30% faster with streamlined syntax that's easier to read and write.

Building models just got significantly easier and faster with our simplified input syntax.

What Changed

Writing model inputs is now much simpler. The system automatically understands what you mean, requiring less typing and fewer syntax rules to remember.

Before - You had to explicitly define everything:

salesGrowth: Input("sales_growth")
initialRevenue: Input("initial_revenue")

Now - Just declare what you need:

salesGrowth: Input
initialRevenue: Input

Key Benefits

  • 30% Faster: Build models quicker with less boilerplate
  • Easier to Learn: Simpler syntax means faster onboarding

Perfect For
