That said, I would find it acceptable to rename it to "Estimate". But is it
worth it?
You beat me to it! I was just going to suggest that "Estimate" is
about the only acceptable alternative to "Model" that I can think of.
But I think/guess that "Model" is more likely to call up correct
expectations of what's to be found in that menu, for most users.
