Platform Updates: November 2023

1 - Warning Messages Added

Wouldn't it be great if models alerted you to assumptions that aren't technically wrong, but given their relationship to other items within the model and standard conventions, they are likely not what the creator intended?

Introducing warnings in Mosaic. We've coded hundreds of such situations into the platform as a starting point and will add more every week as users continue to suggest new ones. If you see a yellow bar at the top of a model you've created (or that's been shared with you) - click into it to see what the potential issue is and either (a) correct it because it's wrong or (b) accept that your deal is a bit off the fairway...

2 - Expandable LBO sidebar for editing assumptions

Give yourself some more breathing room by clicking the icon shown below to get back into the expanded "Wizard" view when you first built the LBO:

3 - Custom Firm Logos & Color Conventions in Excel, PDF

Firms can now re-skin Mosaic's Excel and PDF downloads to match their unique color conventions and upload their firm logos to be reflected throughout the app and the PDF download. Click into the Admin panel available on the top right of the app. Note: this is available to Organization Admin users only.

4 - Set a custom leverage/financing metric

Want to set your leverage as a multiple of a financing metric not readily available in your OpModel? Click here to enter any metric you desire and label it accordingly:  

Additional Productivity Boosters

*Easter egg feature* - Double clicking on an OpModel forecast row flips the row driver to hardcodes

If you have a model set up as year-over-year growth or linear CAGR, you might want to quickly override a given year. Double click to flip the row to hardcodes while saving all the values calculated by the previously selected driver.
