The models available are listed below. Each link provides a detailed description of the model:

Poisson: for modeling events that occur randomly in time

2Perc: for modeling with estimates based on upper and lower percentiles

Three Point: for modeling with estimates based on minimum, most likely and maximum values

Uniform: for modeling with estimates based on minimum and maximum values

Saturation: for modeling ‘buy-in’ from a fixed population base
