Problem

In capital allocation, M&A valuation, and post-investment management, evaluation output is often fragmented: project approvals lean on commercial narratives, NPV/IRR rests on single assumptions, valuations use only one method, investment committee materials lack checkpoints, and exit decisions are disconnected from performance tracking. This skill turns investment evaluation into a traceable workflow around project screening, financial modeling, valuation, investment decision support, and post-investment management.

How It Works and Boundaries

It routes requests into W1 project screening, W2 financial evaluation and modeling, W3 valuation, W4 investment decision support, and W5 post-investment management. Outputs include scorecards, cash-flow models, sensitivity matrices, DCF and comparable company reports, term sheets, and post-investment KPI dashboards. Key controls include hard-stop checkpoints such as CP2, CP3, and CP4, requiring independent review, sensitivity analysis over at least five variables, a maintained risk register, and explicit treatment when DCF terminal value exceeds 70%. It supports methods such as NPV, IRR, LBO, and real options, and defines fallbacks for missing data, multiple IRR solutions, and related-party transactions. It provides professional evaluation and recommendations, but does not replace the investment committee or board in making the final decision.
