How does the Deal Simulator work?

Open a deal and click Explore Simulation. The simulator loads that deal's configuration and lets you change assumptions and watch returns, cash flow, and capital structure update instantly. Changes apply only to your view and are not saved to the deal.

Settings panel

The Standard tab covers the inputs that matter most:

• GPU Investment Deal: switch between deals you can access, and read the opportunity summary.
• Investment Parameters: GPU Count, Timeline (investment years), Utilization Rate, and Asset Depreciation Rate. Utilization and depreciation are the two assumptions that move returns the most.
• Cost Drivers: Monthly Operating Costs and Operator Share (% NOI).

An Advanced tab may also be available depending on your access (see "Why can't I see Advanced Settings or save versions?").

Views

The tabs along the bottom switch between:

• Asset Value & Returns Projection: the headline return, a metric strip, and asset value over time.
• Cash Flow Analysis: a month-by-month or year-by-year table of revenue, costs, NOI, debt service, net cash flow, and cumulative cash flow, with a Calculation Summary of the formulas used.
• Cash Flow Diagram and Capital Structure: flow diagrams of where revenue goes and how the deal is capitalized.
• Actuals vs Projected: shown when the deal reports live results.

Scenario

The headline return is labeled with the current market scenario (for example, "in a Steady Market Scenario"). Change it under Simulation Configuration when available.

Projections are hypothetical and based on stated assumptions. Actual results may vary materially. A guided tour of the simulator runs on your first visit on a desktop browser; use Restart tour to see it again.
