core / QFP

Frame, model, test, risk, present.

The method keeps finance training from becoming vague terminology. Every project has a question, model, test, risk note, and presentation.

QFP progression pathway visual
01

Frame

Students define the decision, company, asset, market, or data question before opening a spreadsheet.

02

Model

They build clean assumptions, calculations, and outputs that another person can inspect.

03

Test

They compare scenarios, check sensitivity, and look for claims that the model cannot support.

04

Risk

They explain uncertainty, incentives, bias, and the difference between analysis and advice.

05

Present

They turn the work into a concise memo or presentation with sources and next steps.

06

Reflect

Every review ends with a revision list and a stronger question.

Outcomes

Outputs make the learning visible.
