Resources That Actually Help You Model Better
We've spent years figuring out what works when teaching scenario modeling. Not just theory — practical stuff you can start using next week in your financial planning work.
What's Inside the Library
Everything's organized by what you need to learn, not by format. Templates when you need them, explanations when concepts get tricky, and real cases when you want to see how it all fits together.
Model Templates
Pre-built spreadsheet structures you can adapt for cash flow forecasting, sensitivity analysis, and multi-scenario comparisons. Each template includes notes explaining the logic.
Concept Guides
When Monte Carlo simulations or probability weighting start feeling abstract, these guides walk through the ideas using straightforward language and practical examples from Vietnamese markets.
Case Studies
See how other professionals approached modeling challenges — retail expansion decisions, manufacturing cost scenarios, service business pivots. Names changed, lessons intact.
Quick Reference Sheets
One-pagers for when you need a formula reminder or want to check your assumption structure. Print them out or keep them on your second monitor while you work.
Updated With Real Feedback
These materials change based on what students actually struggle with. After every cohort, we revise sections that caused confusion and add examples for scenarios that came up in projects.
- New content added based on recent student questions
- Templates improved after watching people use them
- Case studies expanded when topics need more context
- Explanations simplified when the first version wasn't clear enough
How the Materials Follow Your Progress
Resources are grouped by learning stage. You don't need everything at once — just what makes sense for where you are right now in understanding scenario modeling.
Getting Started Foundation
Weeks 1-4Begin with basic probability concepts and simple two-scenario models. The materials here focus on building intuition before adding complexity. Think "good case vs. tough case" before diving into distributions.
Building Complexity Layer
Weeks 5-10Add more scenarios and start working with probability weightings. Materials here include templates for sensitivity tables and guides on when to add versus remove variables from your models.
Advanced Techniques Phase
Weeks 11-16Now you're working with Monte Carlo simulations and correlation structures. Resources shift to handling computational challenges and interpreting results that aren't immediately obvious.
Real Application Practice
Weeks 17-24Work through full case studies and adapt materials to your actual work scenarios. The focus shifts from learning techniques to choosing the right approach for specific business decisions you're facing.

Lead Modeling InstructorFormer risk analyst who got tired of watching people make decisions based on single-point forecasts. Now teaches probability-based planning to finance professionals across Vietnam.
Petra Lindqvist
Advanced Methods SpecialistBuilt scenario models for manufacturing companies for eight years before moving into teaching. Focuses on making complex statistical concepts feel less intimidating.
Teaching Approach We Use
Start With Why Before How
Every technique gets explained in terms of the business decision it helps with first. Monte Carlo simulations aren't interesting because they're mathematically elegant — they're useful because they let you see the full range of possible outcomes instead of guessing at one.
Work Through Mistakes Together
Most learning happens when models break or give weird results. We deliberately include examples where assumptions were wrong, correlations were missed, or interpretations led someone astray — then walk through fixing them.
Adapt to Individual Pace
Some people grasp probability weighting immediately while struggling with sensitivity analysis. Others find sensitivities intuitive but get stuck on distributions. Materials are structured so you can spend more time where you need it.
What Students Have Accomplished
These numbers represent real progress people made after working through the materials and applying the concepts to their actual work. Not guarantees — just what happened when people put in consistent effort.
