The similarity of for-show model could to the for-real model, could vary from "not at all" to "identical". I wonder if the most powerful models are at either extreme? Or if, conversely, the most powerful models are somewhere in between. Somewhat like you'd expect, but not completely. Purely intuitively, it seems to me that the "in between"-models would work well in "in between" situations. Such as middle management, average talent, average diligence, average ability to create an effect and so on. The kind of situation that exist in an economic boom, where mediocre ability is plenty enough to earn lots of money. Conversely, it seems reasonable to me that the extreme models would work well in extreme situation, Such as top management, floor-level workers, excellence or idiocy, extreme effectiveness - the kind of situation that exists in an economic down-turn, where only excellent ability and drive is sufficient to succeed. A very loose suppostion, but still, attractive for some reason. Yes. The similarity of for-show model could to the for-real model, could vary from “not at all” to “identical”.

But I'm rather thinking of models as attempts to describe of observable transactions and other events. Not before - after. Although obviously, creating new business models may seem like "before", it's actually, to me, more about making things come about that can be described afterwards as a new business model, i.e. a model of events that differ from what came before the event. An interesting point might be that the thing you'd put on a catwalk may not actually resemble the real post-event descriptive model very much... and you may well know that beforehand too, which means, that beforehand, you could have two models. One for show. And one for real. Well… sometimes. But I’m rather thinking of models as attempts to describe of observable transactions and other events. Not before - after.

There is almost no resemblance with the produced reality. Models are something shown on a catwalk.
