Summary
Exact prompt
# Work backward from a retirement budget: savings target, contributions and earliest retirement age `input.json` describes a saver (synthetic numbers). Write `solve.py` (Python 3 standard library only) so that `python solve.py input.json answer.json` computes how much they need, how much they must save each year, and the earliest age they could retire. We re-run it on fresh inputs, so do not hard-code anything. ## Input `current_age`, `retire_age`, `end_age` (integers), `spend_today` (yearly spending in today's dollars), `inflation`, `return_pre` (yearly return before retirement, never 0), `return_post` (after), `current_savings`, `gross_income`, `actual_contribution` (what they save per year now), `part_time_income_today` (yearly part-time income in today's dollars), `part_time_years`. ## Rules 1. For a retirement age A, the first retirement year's spending is S = `spend_today * (1 + inflation) ** (A - current_age)`; spending in retirement year k (k = 0 .. end_age - A - 1) is S * (1 + inflation) ** k. 2. Part-time variant: income in retirement year k is `part_time_income_today * (1 + inflation) ** (A - current_age + k)` for k < `part_time_years`, else 0. The withdrawal is max(0, spending - income). 3. Withdrawals happen at the start of each retirement year. The **target** for age A is the sum over k of withdrawal_k / (1 + return_post) ** k (no part-time income), and **target_with_part_time** uses rule 2. 4. Saving: with m = A - current_age and g = (1 + return_pre) ** m, the projected savings at A with a level contribution C at the end of each year is `current_savings * g + C * (g - 1) / return_pre`. 5. `required_contribution` = the C that makes the projection equal the target for A = `retire_age`, but never below 0; the same with the part-time target gives `required_contribution_with_part_time`. `required_savings_rate` = required_contribution / gross_income (6 decimals). `projected_at_retire_age` = the projection with C = `actual_contribution`. 6. `earliest_retire_age` = the smallest integer A from current_age + 1 to end_age - 1 where the projection with `actual_contribution` >= the target for that A; `null` if none. `earliest_retire_age_with_part_time` does the same against the part-time target. 7. Round money to 2 decimals only when writing. ## Output `answer.json` keys: `target`, `target_with_part_time`, `required_contribution`, `required_contribution_with_part_time`, `required_savings_rate`, `projected_at_retire_age`, `earliest_retire_age`, `earliest_retire_age_with_part_time`. ## Scoring Hidden checks (partial credit = fraction passed; all must pass), money within 0.011, rate within 0.000001, ages exact: `savings_target`, `part_time_target`, `required_contributions`, `earliest_ages` on the given input; `fresh_run_1` and `fresh_run_2_edge_cases` (all keys; the second input has part-time income above spending and a small contribution) on fresh inputs. Each run has a 60-second limit.
Start-of-year withdrawals discounted at the post-retirement return, part-time income inflated from today and floored at zero withdrawals, end-of-year contribution annuity, and a per-age search where the target moves with the age. 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 23, 2026): re-scored 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 and measured data unchanged.
These are synthetic test cases for comparing AI models, not financial advice.
Success criteria: 1. savings_target 2. part_time_target 3. required_contributions 4. earliest_ages 5. fresh_run_1 6. fresh_run_2_edge_cases
Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 9 case j04-reverse-retirement-plan (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 $0.05, 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 v1.3.1 via Venice OpenAI-compatible API (16000 max tokens/call, $0.05 run cap). Score: 6/6. 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.

current_age and g = (1 + return_pre) ** m, the projected savings at A with a level contribution C at the end of each year is current_savings * g + C * (g - 1) / return_pre\".\n This is the standard formula for the future value of a lump sum plus the future value of an ordinary annuity.\n $FV = PV(1+r)^n + C \\frac{(1+r)^n - 1}{r}$.\n Here $PV = \\text{current\\_savings}$, $r = \\text{return\\_pre}$, $n = m$, $C = C$.\n Matches.\n\n Let's double check the \"Earliest Retire Age\" range.\n Rule 6: \"smallest integer A from current_age + 1 to end_age - 1\".\n Matches.\n\n Let's double check the \"Required Contribution\" formula.\n Rule 5: \"required_contribution = the C that makes the projection equal the target for A = retire_age, but never below 0\".\n $\\text{Target} = \\text{current\\_savings} \\times g + C \\times \\frac{g -

That would happen if $m=0$ (A = current_age) or $\\text{return\\_pre}=0$.\n But $A \\ge \\text{current\\_age} + 1$, so $m \\ge 1$.\n And $\\text{return\\_pre}$ is never 0.\n So $g-1$ will not be 0 unless $\\text{return\\_pre}=0$ or $m=0$.\n\n Wait, if $\\text{return\\_pre}$ is very small, $(g-1)/\\text{return\\_pre}$ might be problematic? No, it's just a formula.\n Actually, if $\\text{return\\_pre}$ is 0, the formula $C \\frac{(1+r)^n - 1}{r}$ becomes $C \\times n$.\n But the prompt says `return_pre` is never 0.\n\n Let's check the part-time income again.\n Rule 2: \"income in retirement year k is part_time_income_today * (1 + inflation) ** (A - current_age + k) for k < part_time_years, else 0.\"\n $S_k = \\text{spend\\_today} \\times (1 + \\text{inflation})^{(A - \\text{current\\_age}) + k}$.\n $W_k = \\max(0, S_k - I_k)$.\n If $k < \\text{part\\_time\\_years}$:\n $W_k = \\max(0, (\\text{spend\\_today} - \\text{part\\_time\\_income\\_today}) \\times (1 + \\text{inflation})^{(A - \\text{current\\_age}) + k})$.\n If $k \\ge \\text{part\\_time\\_years}$:\n $W_k = S_k = \\text{spend\\_today} \\times (1 + \\text{inflation})^{(A - \\text{current\\_age}) + k}$.\n\n Wait, the prompt says: \"The withdrawal is max(0, spending - income)\".\n This is exactly what I wrote.\n\n Let's implement this.",

"reasoning_content": "Okay, I need to implement the logic described in the prompt.\n\nLet's break down the rules:\n\n1. **Retirement Spending**:\n * Retirement age $A$.\n * First year spending $S = \\text{spend\\_today} \\times (1 + \\text{inflation})^{(A - \\text{current\\_age})}$.\n * Spending in retirement year $k$ (where $k = 0, \\dots, \\text{end\\_age} - A - 1$): $S_k = S \\times (1 + \\text{inflation})^k$.\n\n2. **Part-time Income**:\n * Income in retirement year $k$: $I_k = \\text{part\\_time\\_income\\_today} \\times (1 + \\text{inflation})^{(A - \\text{current\\_age} + k)}$ for $k < \\text{part\\_time\\_years}$, else $0$.\n * Withdrawal in year $k$: $W_k = \\max(0, S_k - I_k)$.\n\n3. **Target Calculation**:\n * Target for age $A$: $\\sum_{k=0}^{\\text{end\\_age}-A-1} \\frac{W_k}{(1 + \\text{return\\_post})^k}$.\n * If no part-time income, $W_k = S_k$.\n * If part-time income, $W_k = \\max(0, S_k - I_k)$.\n\n4. **Savings Projection**:\n * $m = A - \\text{current\\_age}$.\n * $g = (1 + \\text{return\\_pre})^m$.\n * Projected savings at age $A$ with contribution $C$ at the end of each year: $P = \\text{current\\_savings} \\times g + C \\times \\frac{g - 1}{\\text{return\\_pre}}$.\n\n5. **Required Contribution**:\n * For $A = \\text{retire\\_age}$:\n * Find $C$ such that $P = \\text{target}$.\n * $C = \\frac{(\\text{target} - \\text{current\\_savings} \\times g) \\times \\text{return\\_pre}}{g - 1}$.\n * $C$ must be $\\ge 0$.\n * Do this for both the standard target and the part-time target.\n * $\\text{required\\_savings\\_rate} = \\frac{\\text{required\\_contribution}}{\\text{gross\\_income}}$.\n * $\\text{projected\\_at\\_retire\\_age}$ is $P$ using $C = \\text{actual\\_contribution}$.\n\n6. **Earliest Retirement Age**:\n * Smallest integer $A$ from $\\text{current\\_age} + 1$ to $\\text{end\\_age} - 1$.\n * Where projection with $C = \\text{actual\\_contribution} \\ge \\text{target}$ for that $A$.\n * Do this for both standard and part-time targets.\n\nLet's double check the target formula. \"Withdrawals happen at the start of each retirement year.\"\nThe target is the present value of these withdrawals at the start of retirement (age $A$).\n$W_0$ is withdrawn at $t=0$ (age $A$), $W_1$ at $t=1$ (age $A+1$), etc.\nSo the target is $\\sum_{k=0}^{\\text{end\\_age}-A-1} \\frac{W_k}{(1 + \\text{return\\_post})^k}$. This matches my formula.\n\nWait, the prompt says: \"the target for age A is the sum over k of withdrawal_k / (1 + return_post) ** k (no part-time income), and target_with_part_time uses rule 2.\"\nRule 2 says: \"The withdrawal is max(0, spending - income).\"\nSo for the standard target, $W_k = S_k$. For the part-time target, $W_k = \\max(0, S_k - I_k)$.\n\nLet's implement this in `solve.py`.",

"reasoning_content": "Okay, the code seems to be working as expected. I've implemented the logic for calculating the retirement target, required contributions, projected savings, and the earliest retirement age, both with and without part-time income. I've also included the rounding as specified.\n\nOne detail: the prompt says \"Round money to 2 decimals only when writing.\" My current code uses `round(val, 2)`. This should be correct.\n\nLet me double check the rules one more time.\n1. Spending in retirement year k: $S = spend\\_today * (1 + inflation)^{A - current\\_age}$, $S_k = S * (1 + inflation)^k$.\n2. Part-time income in retirement year k: $I_k = part\\_time\\_income\\_today * (1 + inflation)^{A - current\\_age + k}$ for $k < part\\_time\\_years$, else 0. Withdrawal $W_k = \\max(0, S_k - I_k)$.\n3. Target for age A: $\\sum_{k=0}^{end\\_age - A - 1} W_k / (1 + return\\_post)^k$.\n4. Projection at age A with contribution C: $current\\_savings * (1 + return\\_pre)^m + C * ((1 + return\\_pre)^m - 1) / return\\_pre$, where $m = A - current\\_age$.\n5. `required_contribution` is C such that projection equals target for $A = retire\\_age$, but $C \\ge 0$.\n6. `earliest_retire_age` is smallest $A \\in [current\\_age + 1, end\\_age - 1]$ such that projection with `actual_contribution` $\\ge$ target for $A$.\n\nMy code:\n- `get_target(A, use_part_time)`:\n - `m = A - current_age`\n - `S = spend_today * ((1 + inflation) ** m)`\n - `sk = S * ((1 + inflation) ** k)`\n - `ik = part_time_income_today * ((1 + inflation) ** (m + k))` if `k < part_time_years` else 0.\n - `wk = max(0, sk - ik)` if `use_part_time` else `sk`.\n - `target += wk / ((1 + return_post) ** k)`.\n - This matches the rules.\n\n- `get_projection(A, C)`:\n - `m = A - current_age`\n - `g = (1 + return_pre) ** m`\n - `return current_savings * g + C * (g - 1) / return_pre`.\n - This matches the rules.\n\n- `calc_required_C(target_val)`:\n - `C = (target_val - current_savings * g) * return_pre / (g - 1)`\n - `return max(0, C)`.\n - This matches the rules.\n\n- `find_earliest(use_part_time)`:\n - `for A in range(current_age + 1, end_age):`\n - `if projection_A >= target_A: return A`\n - This matches the rules.\n\nOne small thing: `required_savings_rate` is `required_contribution / gross_income`. I rounded it to 6 decimals.\n\nThe prompt says \"Round money to 2 decimals only when writing.\"\nI used `round(val, 2)` for money and `round(val, 6)` for the rate.\n\nWait, I should check if `return_pre` can be 0. The prompt says `return_pre` is \"never 0\".\nWhat about `g - 1`? `g = (1 + return_pre) ** m`. Since `m = A - current_age` and `A` starts from `current_age + 1`, `m` is at least 1. Since `return_pre` is not 0, `g` will not be 1 unless `return_pre` is 0. So `g - 1` is not 0.\n\nWait, I used `round(val, 2)` in the dictionary. Let me make sure I'm not rounding too early.\nThe calculations are done with full precision, and only the final results are rounded. This is correct.\n\nLet's double check the `earliest_retire_age` range.\n\"smallest integer A from current_age + 1 to end_age - 1\".\nMy code: `range(current_age + 1, end_age)`. This is `current_age + 1` up to `end_age - 1`. Correct.\n\nOne more check on the part-time income:\n\"income in retirement year k is `part_time_income_today * (1 + inflation) ** (A - current_age + k)` for k < `part_time_years`, else 0.\"\nMy code: `ik = part_time_income_today * ((1 + inflation) ** (m + k)) if k < part_time_years else 0` where `m = A - current_age`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe withdrawal is `max(0, spending - income)`.\nMy code: `wk = max(0, sk - ik)`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe target is the sum over k of `withdrawal_k / (1 + return_post) ** k`.\nMy code: `target += wk / ((1 + return_post) ** k)`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe projection is `current_savings * g + C * (g - 1) / return_pre`.\nMy code: `current_savings * g + C * (g - 1) / return_pre`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe `required_contribution` is the C that makes the projection equal the target for $A = retire\\_age$, but never below 0.\nMy code: `C = (target_val - current_savings * g) * return_pre / (g - 1)` and `max(0, C)`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe `required_savings_rate` is `required_contribution / gross_income`.\nMy code: `required_contribution / gross_income`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe `projected_at_retire_age` is the projection with `C = actual_contribution`.\nMy code: `get_projection(retire_age, actual_contribution)`.\nThis is correct.\n\nThe `earliest_retire_age` is the smallest integer A from `current_age + 1` to `end_age - 1` where the projection with `actual_contribution` >= the target for that A.\nMy code: `find_earliest` function.\nThis is correct.\n\nFinal check on the output keys:\n`target`, `target_with_part_time`, `required_contribution`, `required_contribution_with_part_time`, `required_savings_rate`, `projected_at_retire_age`, `earliest_retire_age`, `earliest_retire_age_with_part_time`.\nMy code has all these keys.\n\nOne last thing, the prompt says \"Round money to 2 decimals only when writing.\"\nI used `round(val, 2)`. I should probably use `\"{:.2f}\".format(val)` or just let `json.dump` handle it if I don't round? No, `json.dump` will output many decimals. The prompt says \"Round money to 2 decimals only when writing\", which usually means the final value in the JSON should be rounded to 2 decimals.\n\nWait, if I use `round(val, 2)`, it might not always show 2 decimals (e.g., 10.5 instead of 10.50). But JSON numbers are just numbers. The scoring says \"money within 0.011\", which suggests that the exact value is what matters, and rounding to 2 decimals is just for the output format.\n\nLet's double check the `required_savings_rate` rounding. \"6 decimals\".\nMy code: `round(required_savings_rate, 6)`.\n\nI think the code is solid.",
