# what-if ## Triggers - What-if scenario analysis - scenario tree construction - base bull bear case - sensitivity to macro variables - revenue scenario modeling - cost scenario analysis - margin impact scenarios - interest rate sensitivity - currency impact scenarios - commodity price scenarios ## Defaults | Parameter | Default Value | Rationale | |-----------|---------------|-----------| | ticker | (required) | Stock symbol to analyze | | lookback_quarters | 4 | Standard lookback for this skill type | ## Methodology ### 1.
