• Lead sensitivity analysis around macro factors relevant to the blockchain/crypto industry.
• Scale the model and integrate it into our planning tool.
• Create sophisticated financial models and drive scenario analyses to inform major capital allocation decisions, including M&A, partnerships, and new market entry.
• Synthesize scenario outputs into clear, executive-ready narratives and recommendations.
