Control sheets allow the model builder to check that the model, or section of the model, works correctly. These sheets can be, for example check sheets, control of sensitivities and scenarios, change-tracking, list of pending changes, version control, and table of contents: the model’s main control devices and engine status indicators.
FAST 1.01-01 Provide a table of content
The table of content should be broken down into functional areas (input, calculation, presentation) to make it easy the user to see which section is preferred for the view. For example Financial Statement sheet link goes under the heading Presentation.
FAST 1.01-02 Provide a list of model qualifications and weaknesses
This should be actively maintained and included in the standard short-form print-out of the model. Unless clearly documented and presented to the model customer, implicit assumptions may be construed as nothing more than ’serious model error’.
