Summary
Exact prompt
# Debt avalanche vs snowball, to the cent `input.json` lists debts and a fixed monthly budget (synthetic). Write `solve.py` (Python 3 standard library only) so that `python solve.py input.json answer.json` simulates both payoff methods month by month. We re-run it on fresh inputs, so do not hard-code anything. ## Input `debts`: list of `{"name", "balance", "apr" (yearly percent, e.g. 21.99), "min_payment"}`; `monthly_budget` (total paid each month, including minimums). ## Rules 1. Work in exact cents (use `decimal.Decimal`; convert input numbers with `Decimal(str(x))`). Round with ROUND_HALF_UP to 0.01. 2. If `monthly_budget` < the sum of all minimum payments, the whole answer is `{"error": "budget_below_minimums"}`. 3. Target order (fixed at the start, using the original balances): **avalanche** = highest apr first, ties by smaller balance, then name; **snowball** = smallest balance first, ties by higher apr, then name. 4. Each month, in this order: (a) every debt with a positive balance gets interest = round(balance * apr / 1200) added to its balance; (b) in input order, each debt with a positive balance is paid min(min_payment, balance) from the budget; (c) whatever is left of the budget goes to debts in target order: pay min(left, balance) to the first target with a positive balance, then any remainder to the next, and so on in the same month. Any budget still left at the end of the month is not used. 5. `payoff_month[name]` = the month number (first month = 1) at whose end the debt's balance is 0. `months` = month at which all are 0. If debts remain after month 600, that method's result is `{"error": "not_paid_off"}`. 6. `total_interest` = all interest added; `total_paid` = all payments. `interest_saved_by_avalanche` = snowball total_interest - avalanche total_interest (only when both methods finish). ## Output `answer.json`: `{"avalanche": R, "snowball": R, "interest_saved_by_avalanche": x}` with R = `{"months", "total_interest", "total_paid", "payoff_month": {name: month}, "order": [names in target order]}`. Money as numbers with 2 decimals. ## Scoring Hidden checks (partial credit = fraction passed; all must pass), money within 0.011, months and orders exact: `orders`, `avalanche_totals`, `snowball_totals`, `payoff_months` (and interest saved) on the given input; `fresh_run_1`, `fresh_run_2` (whole answer on fresh inputs, which can contain 0% debts and equal balances); `budget_below_minimums` (a fresh input whose budget is too small). Each run has a 60-second limit.
Cent rounding of monthly interest, minimums before extra, same-month rollover of leftover money, tie rules for 0% debts and equal balances, and the budget-below-minimums error. Inspired by https://www.reddit.com/r/debtfree/comments/1upfhkm/double_check_the_math/ Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Cost shown is a list-price estimate (measured tokens x pricing.json list price).
These are synthetic test cases for comparing AI models, not financial advice.
Success criteria: 1. orders 2. avalanche_totals 3. snowball_totals 4. payoff_months 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2 7. budget_below_minimums
Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 9 case j07-debt-avalanche-snowball (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 v1.3.1 (/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 $0.0058, 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 v1.3.1 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API (16000 max tokens/call, $0.0058 run cap). Score: 1/7. 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
- Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
- Same setup: Mistral Small 3.2 24B Instruct (Venice) (venice/mistral-small-3-2-24b-instruct, thinking on) via
venice-mini-agent v1.3.1, cloud. - It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. orders 2. avalanche_totals 3. snowball_totals 4. payoff_months 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2 7. budget_below_minimums
- 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.
