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 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. 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 v1.3.1 (/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: 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.

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. (Implemented)\n2. 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`. (Implemented)\n3. `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. (Implemented)\n4. If terminal_growth >= wacc, the whole answer is `{\"error\": \"growth_not_below_wacc\"}`. (Implemented)\n5. `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. (Implemented)\n6. Round money values to 2 decimals and `per_share`, `terminal_share`, `implied_ev_ebitda` to 6 decimals when writing. (Implemented)\n\nWait, I should check if `pv_fcf`, `terminal_value`, `pv_terminal`, `enterprise_value`, `equity_value` are considered \"money values\".\nThe prompt says \"Round money values to 2 decimals and `per_share`, `terminal_share`, `implied_ev_ebitda` to 6 decimals when writing.\"\n`pv_fcf`, `terminal_value`, `pv_terminal`, `enterprise_value`, `equity_value` are indeed money values.\n\nLet's re-verify the sensitivity grid rounding. \"rounded to 4 decimals, or `null` when growth >= wacc.\" (Implemented)\n\nOne detail: \"If terminal_growth >= wacc, the whole answer is `{\"error\": \"growth_not_below_wacc\"}`.\"\nIn my code:\n```python\n # Base valuation\n result = calculate_valuation(fcf, wacc, terminal_growth, mid_year, net_debt, shares, ebitda_last)\n \n if result is None:\n with open(output_path, 'w') as f:\n json.dump({\"error\": \"growth_not_below_wacc\"}, f)\n return\n```\nAnd `calculate_valuation` returns `None` if `terminal_growth >= wacc`. This matches.\n\nWait, I should check if the sensitivity grid should also trigger the error if any of the base values are invalid. No, the rule says \"If terminal_growth >= wacc, the whole answer is `{\"error\": \"growth_not_below_wacc\"}`.\" This refers to the base `terminal_growth` and `wacc` from `input.json`.\n\nLet's double check the sensitivity grid again.\n\"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.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n for sw in sens_wacc:\n row = []\n for sg in sens_growth:\n if sg >= sw:\n row.append(None)\n else:\n res = calculate_valuation(fcf, sw, sg, mid_year, net_debt, shares, ebitda_last)\n row.append(round(res['per_share'], 4))\n sensitivity.append(row)\n```\nThis looks correct.\n\nOne more thing: \"Round money values to 2 decimals and `per_share`, `terminal_share`, `implied_ev_ebitda` to 6 decimals when writing.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n output = {\n \"pv_fcf\": round(result['pv_fcf'], 2),\n \"terminal_value\": round(result['terminal_value'], 2),\n \"pv_terminal\": round(result['pv_terminal'], 2),\n \"enterprise_value\": round(result['enterprise_value'], 2),\n \"equity_value\": round(result['equity_value'], 2),\n \"per_share\": round(result['per_share'], 6),\n \"terminal_share\": round(result['terminal_share'], 6),\n \"implied_ev_ebitda\": round(result['implied_ev_ebitda'], 6),\n \"sensitivity\": sensitivity\n }\n```\nThis also looks correct.\n\nWait, I should check the `terminal_value` calculation again.\n`terminal_value = fcf_N * (1 + g) / (wacc - g)`\nMy code:\n```python\n fcf_n = fcf[-1]\n terminal_value = fcf_n * (1 + terminal_growth) / (wacc - terminal_growth)\n```\nThis is correct.\n\nAnd `pv_terminal`:\n\"It is always discounted by (1 + wacc) ** N, even with the mid-year convention: `pv_terminal`.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n pv_terminal = terminal_value / ((1 + wacc) ** len(fcf))\n```\nThis is also correct.\n\nLet's check the `pv_fcf` calculation again.\n\"Discount year t (t = 1..N) by (1 + wacc) ** t, or by (1 + wacc) ** (t - 0.5) when `mid_year` is true.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n pv_fcf = 0\n for t, cash_flow in enumerate(fcf, 1):\n exponent = t - 0.5 if mid_year else t\n pv_fcf += cash_flow / ((1 + wacc) ** exponent)\n```\nThis is also correct.\n\nOne final check on the output keys:\n`pv_fcf`, `terminal_value`, `pv_terminal`, `enterprise_value`, `equity_value`, `per_share`, `terminal_share`, `implied_ev_ebitda`, `sensitivity`.\nAll are present.\n\nWait, I should make sure I'm using Python 3 standard library only. I'm using `json` and `sys`, which are standard.\n\nLet's consider if there are any edge cases.\n- `shares` could be 0? (Not likely in a valuation problem, but `per_share` would fail).\n- `ebitda_last` could be 0? (Not likely, but `implied_ev_ebitda` would fail).\n- `enterprise_value` could be 0? (Not likely, but `terminal_share` would fail).\nGiven the context of \"fictional company (synthetic)\", these are probably not issues.\n\nOne more thing: \"Round money values to 2 decimals\".\nIs `pv_fcf` a money value? Yes.\nIs `terminal_value` a money value? Yes.\nIs `pv_terminal` a money value? Yes.\nIs `enterprise_value` a money value? Yes.\nIs `equity_value` a money value? Yes.\nAll these are rounded to 2 decimals.\n\nWait, I should check if the sensitivity grid should be rounded to 4 decimals using `round()` or if it should be formatted as a string. The prompt says \"rounded to 4 decimals\", which usually means `round(value, 4)`.\n\nLet's double check the `sensitivity` grid values in my previous run.\n`\"sensitivity\": [[11.6688, 13.4786, 15.1617, 17.4763, null], [9.974, 11.3036, 12.4923, 14.0566, null], [8.6014, 9.6036, 10.4721, 11.5777, null], [7.4686, 8.2397, 8.8916, 9.6999, null], [6.5187, 7.1224, 7.6223, 8.2293, 60.4644]]`\nThe values are floats, some have fewer than 4 decimals (e.g., `9.974`), which is normal for `round()`.\n\nOne last check on the `terminal_growth >= wacc` rule.\n\"If terminal_growth >= wacc, the whole answer is `{\"error\": \"growth_not_below_wacc\"}`.\"\nMy code:\n```python\n # Base valuation\n result = calculate_valuation(fcf, wacc, terminal_growth, mid_year, net_debt, shares, ebitda_last)\n \n if result is None:\n with open(output_path, 'w') as f:\n json.dump({\"error\": \"growth_not_below_wacc\"}, f)\n return\n```\nAnd `calculate_valuation` returns `None` if `terminal_growth >= wacc`.\nThis is correct.\n\nWait, I just noticed that in the sensitivity grid, if `sg >= sw`, I should put `null`.\nMy code:\n```python\n for sg in sens_growth:\n if sg >= sw:\n row.append(None)\n else:\n res = calculate_valuation(fcf, sw, sg, mid_year, net_debt, shares, ebitda_last)\n row.append(round(res['per_share'], 4))\n```\nThis is correct.\n\nI think the solution is complete.",
