Capex Strategy Configuration
Welcome to the administration guide for Weissr Capex Strategy! This section is your central resource for aligning Weissr’s strategic planning features with your organization’s investment analysis processes.
Capex Strategy is where long-term investment planning takes shape. As an administrator, you configure the project structure, and manage settings that directly impact asset modeling, financial forecasts, and scenario analysis.
This guide is designed to walk you through the Capex Strategy-specific settings available in the Administration panel, everything from how assets behave in models to how investment timelines are defined and tracked.
Please note that our administration documentation is currently in progress, with ongoing updates and additions. Thank you for your patience!
