Introduction
When working on a valuation, you may create multiple Forecast scenarios to test different assumptions. The Secondary Scenario feature lets you compare another scenario directly against your primary scenario on the Valuation Overview football field chart.
How to Compare Scenarios
Navigate to Valuation Overview.
Click Change Parameters in the upper-right corner.
Under General, the Primary Scenario is set to your active scenario by default. Select a Secondary Scenario to compare against it.
Review the football field chart:
Each scenario is displayed in a different color, allowing you to quickly see how changes in assumptions affect the valuation range across all valuation methods.
Each valuation method displays the ranges for both scenarios side by side.
Hover over a Secondary Scenario bar to view the concluded value and valuation range for that specific valuation method.
Return to Change Parameters to compare a different scenario.
Why Use Scenario Comparison?
Side-by-side comparison makes it easy to evaluate the impact of different assumptions without switching between scenarios. You can compare:
Base Case vs. Upside or Downside scenarios
Different Cost of Capital assumptions
Different Forecast and Cost of Capital combinations
This helps identify which valuation methods are most sensitive to changes and how the overall valuation range shifts.
Best Practices
Use clear scenario names such as Base Case, Upside, or Downside.
Verify each scenario's assumptions before comparing results.
Review both the individual valuation methods and the concluded valuation range.
Note
Side-by-side scenario comparisons are currently not included in Word or PowerPoint exports.
