Growth company - Skylark |
| This model produces five year forecasts and a valuation for a growth company.

Industrial company - Metro |
| This model is based on IFRS accounts, and produced five year forecasts. It has separate pages devoted to the modelling of operating profits, fixed assets, working capital, financing structure, and a Dupont performance analysis.

Risk model - Vivendi |
| This model permits the allocation of value in a risky company between the owners of its debt and its equity. It uses volatilities of and correlations between market values of the two forms of capital to determine the inputs to a Black Scholes model of the equity, with the par value of the debt representing the exercise price and either an independent value or the market value of the enterprise representing the market price of the underlying assets. |
