FAST Modelling Standard

A set of rules on the structure and design of spreadsheet-based models.

The FAST Standard is designed to provide:

1. A clear route to good model design for individual modellers, and
2. A common style platform on which modellers and reviewers can rely, when passing models amongst each other.

The FAST Standard's philosophy is:

• Simplicity; and
• Rigorous structuring.

For example, Excel formulae should be:

• Short; and
• Use only a limited set of functions.
