Parameter
A named assumption with a default value. It behaves like a Constant, but carries
a label, so a model reads as "Discount Rate feeds the valuation" rather than an
anonymous 0.09. It also marks the values that are meant to be changed when the
model is reused or handed to someone else.
Inputs
This node takes no incoming connections. It is a starting point.
Outputs
| Output | Produces |
|---|---|
Value | Any |
Settings
Typed in on the node or set by the assistant, not wired.
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Name | Parameter | The display name for the assumption, e.g. Discount Rate; this is how it appears in the pipeline. |
DataType | Any | A hint for the kind of value expected: Scalar, Text, Boolean, or DateTime. |
Example
In a DCF, create a Parameter named Discount Rate with a default of 0.09 and
connect it to the DiscountCashFlows node. When you reuse the pipeline for a
different business unit, the assumptions to revisit are the named Parameters.
Change the rate once and the valuation updates end to end.
