Equipped with our prediction for the final state we then develop a simple and accurate merger-ringdown-model based on modified Lorentzians in the gravitational wave amplitude and phase, and we discuss a simple method to represent the low frequency signal augmenting the TaylorF2 post-Newtonian approximant with terms corresponding to higher orders in the post-Newtonian expansion.

Beyond the calibration region the model produces physically reasonable results, although we recommend caution in assuming that \emph{any} merger-ringdown waveform model is accurate outside its calibration region.
