What does this feature do?

Optimize Change Rate assumptions allow you to throttle how quickly (or by how much) a value is meant to increase or decrease over time. If you believe a value will maintain the same direction (increase or decrease) but ascend or descend more quickly or more slowly as time goes on, then you would need to add an optimize change rate assumption.

Why should I care?

Describing behavior that increases very quickly at the beginning and then levels off (or decreases at a slower rate) in its maturity is a very complex behavior to capture but it is very commonly associated with practical scenarios such as virality and how it affects website traffic.

Where can I find it?

The optimize change rate assumption is able to be added to any input metric present within any section of the assumptions page of the financial model.

How should I use it?

Use the optimize change rate assumption to create an S curve for how a metric grows or decreases over time.
