<pre>Does anyone have experience in using Dr Michael Burr's financial model
supplied as an option with the third edition of his book "Australian
Olives"?
Specifically was the data input required to run the model realistically
available?
Were sufficient variables able to be altered to give realistically different
results for different sets of inputs?
Did the underlying assumptions match reality?
Is the model skewed toward any particular market segment; eg niche,
commodity, oil, whole olives etc
Did the resulting output match intuitive expectations?

I would appreciate your feedback prior to putting effort into using the
model.


Many thanks
