The practice of manipulating a financial model to maintain a 2.0x return despite discovering negative information during diligence. This is often achieved by increasing exit multiples, reducing Capex, manipulating working capital assumptions, increasing revenue growth rates and increasing gross margin assumptions among other tactics. This is also sometimes referred to as goal seek modeling where every factor other than purchase price is adjusted to arrive at the desired outcome.
Associate 1: I have some bad news, the Target's recent results are well below the banker model and suggest that the declining revenue and margins are continuing vs turning around.
Associate 2: No problem, I'll just apply a little Model Magic and the return will still be 2.0x

Get the Model Magic mug.A revolutionary five-module AI framework that transforms how non-technical users interact with complex databases. The SQL Intelligence & Modeling Support (SIMS) Data Agent eliminates the need for SQL expertise by enabling natural language queries across multiple database tables while maintaining enterprise-grade reliability. Unlike traditional database interfaces requiring technical knowledge, SIMS interprets user intent, generates appropriate SQL, and delivers insights through conversation and visualizations without users needing to understand database structure or terminology.
SIMS excels where other systems fail by avoiding resource-intensive knowledge base setups and maintaining 91.3% query accuracy regardless of user technical background. Compared to traditional approaches, the system reduces complex cross-table query processing time by 99.7%, delivering answers to complex questions within seconds rather than hours or days. What truly separates SIMS from competitors is its ability to transform basic questions into strategic insights while maintaining full data lineage transparency that meets enterprise governance requirements.

Our marketing director asked the SQL Intelligence & Modeling Support Data Agent, 'Which campaigns drove the most revenue last quarter?' And in under 10 seconds, SIMS pulled data from three separate database tables, created a visualization showing ROI by channel, and suggested we increase spending on email campaigns based on conversion trends- something that previously would have required three different analysts and two days of work.

Star Wars fan 1: I honestly don't get how Boba Fett has a fanbase. He barely did anything in The Empire Strikes Back.
Star Wars fan 2: My guess is that it's a sign of model over mind. He does look pretty cool so maybe people like him just for his look.
Star Wars fan 1: That actually explains a lot.

Get the Model Over Mind mug.A mix of intuitive bar modeling and abstract algebra to solve word problems, which serves as a bridge from pre-algebraic thinking (hidden in the Singapore bar model method) to formal algebraic thinking (involved in solving an equation).
Many middle school students in Singapore are so fluent in the bar model method that teachers and parents find it hard to wean them from it in order to embrace the algebraic method. As a result, some math educators suggest using the blended or hybrid modeling to make the transition less painful.
