Summary

Exact prompt

# Discounted cash flow valuation with a sensitivity grid `input.json` gives forecast free cash flows and valuation assumptions for a fictional company (synthetic). Write `solve.py` (Python 3 standard library only) so that `python solve.py input.json answer.json` computes the valuation. We re-run it on fresh inputs, so do not hard-code anything. ## Input `fcf` (forecast free cash flow for years 1..N), `wacc`, `terminal_growth`, `mid_year` (bool), `net_debt` (can be negative = net cash), `shares`, `ebitda_last` (year-N EBITDA), `sens_wacc`, `sens_growth` (lists). ## Rules 1. Discount year t (t = 1..N) by (1 + wacc) ** t, or by (1 + wacc) ** (t - 0.5) when `mid_year` is true. `pv_fcf` = sum of discounted cash flows. 2. Terminal value (Gordon growth, at the end of year N): `terminal_value` = fcf_N * (1 + g) / (wacc - g). It is always discounted by (1 + wacc) ** N, even with the mid-year convention: `pv_terminal`. 3. `enterprise_value` = pv_fcf + pv_terminal; `equity_value` = enterprise_value - net_debt; `per_share` = equity_value / shares; `terminal_share` = pv_terminal / enterprise_value; `implied_ev_ebitda` = enterprise_value / ebitda_last. 4. If terminal_growth >= wacc, the whole answer is `{"error": "growth_not_below_wacc"}`. 5. `sensitivity`: a list with one row per value in `sens_wacc` (same order); each row has one entry per value in `sens_growth`: the per-share value with that wacc and growth (other inputs unchanged), rounded to 4 decimals, or `null` when growth >= wacc. 6. Round money values to 2 decimals and `per_share`, `terminal_share`, `implied_ev_ebitda` to 6 decimals when writing. ## Output `answer.json` keys: `pv_fcf`, `terminal_value`, `pv_terminal`, `enterprise_value`, `equity_value`, `per_share`, `terminal_share`, `implied_ev_ebitda`, `sensitivity`. ## Scoring Hidden checks (partial credit = fraction passed; all must pass): `pv_of_cash_flows`, `terminal_value`, `ev_equity_per_share` (money within 0.011, the three ratios within 0.000001), `sensitivity_grid` (within 0.0001, nulls exact) on the given input; `fresh_end_of_year` and `fresh_mid_year` (the whole answer, tolerance 0.011); `growth_not_below_wacc` (rule 4). Each run has a 60-second limit.

Mid-year discounting of cash flows but not of the terminal value, net cash vs net debt, null cells where growth >= discount rate, and the error case. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com (not based on a specific public post). Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Cost shown is a list-price estimate (measured tokens x pricing.json list price). Rescore note (Oct 22, 2026): Re-scored 2026-10-22 from the saved work dir: the original scoring step failed to start (exit 127, scorer interpreter missing), so the first score was not a real result. Model output unchanged; original kept as .orig-scorer127.

These are synthetic test cases for comparing AI models, not financial advice.

Success criteria: 1. pv_of_cash_flows 2. terminal_value 3. ev_equity_per_share 4. sensitivity_grid 5. fresh_end_of_year 6. fresh_mid_year 7. growth_not_below_wacc

Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 9 case j10-dcf-valuation (offline fixture). Prepared with batch9/prepare.sh; hidden key/tests kept outside the agent's work dir. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim. Scored with the scout's scorer: `python score.py WORKDIR KEYDIR`. Tools: list_files/read_file/write_file/run_shell (venice-mini-agent v1.3), web disabled. Single run, no retries. Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.3 (/workspace/usecase-runner/venice_agent2.py) via the Venice OpenAI-compatible API: same tool loop, system prompt and limits as the cases 02-25 Venice runs (max 25 turns, max_tokens 16000/call, temperature 0.2, Venice system prompt and web search off, per-run cost cap $0.05, thinking on (model default)). Same task text, work-dir layout and scorer as the Claude runs of this case. Cost = measured per-call tokens x venice_prices.json list price; paid from the Venice DIEM daily allowance. Harness: venice-mini-agent v1.3 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API (16000 max tokens/call, $0.05 run cap). Score: 7/7. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured per-call tokens x pricing.json list price (paid from Venice DIEM allowance; Venice billing not itemized). input_tokens include cached reads. Single run.

Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Reproduce this run

  1. Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
  2. Same setup: GLM 4.7 (Venice) (venice/zai-org-glm-4.7, thinking on) via venice-mini-agent v1.3, cloud.
  3. It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. pv_of_cash_flows 2. terminal_value 3. ev_equity_per_share 4. sensitivity_grid 5. fresh_end_of_year 6. fresh_mid_year 7. growth_not_below_wacc
  4. Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.

This yields a substantial terminal value of 5896.57, which when discounted back to present value represents 2337.13.\n\nThe enterprise value combines the present value of cash flows and the discounted terminal value, resulting in 4442.39. After subtracting net debt, the equity value stands at 3193.69, translating to a per-share value of 11.10.\n\nThe terminal value contributes significantly, representing 52.61% of the total enterprise value. The implied EV/EBITDA multiple is 5.91, indicating the company's valuation relative to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.\n\nThe sensitivity analysis reveals how changes in the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and growth rate impact the per-share valuation, with higher growth rates and lower discount rates generally increasing the estimated value.\n\nThe last row shows an interesting scenario where the growth rate matches the WACC, resulting in a dramatically inflated valuation of 60.4644, which highlights the potential instability in valuation models when growth assumptions approach the discount rate.\n\nThe code appears robust, handling edge cases like growth rates exceeding the discount rate by returning null values. This approach prevents unrealistic or undefined valuation calculations.\n\nI'll verify the JSON serialization of null values to ensure consistent output formatting.",
