An `mcp_servers` entry can reference + a `gateway_token` that lives three lines up in the same JSON. + +Unresolved `{{key}}` (typo, key never set anywhere) is left as-is in the +string — no error, no empty-substitution. If an MCP server isn't connecting, +check the URL the add-in actually constructed. + +## CORS — every URL needs it + +The add-in is a browser. Every fetch — `bootstrap_url`, every +`mcp_servers[].url`, every `skills[].url` — happens browser-side from inside +the Office taskpane. Without `Access-Control-Allow-Origin: +https://pivot.claude.ai` on the response, the browser blocks it before the +add-in sees a byte. The server returns 200, the add-in gets nothing, and +nothing in the add-in's logs tells you why. This is the most common "it's not +working" cause. + +| URL | Where CORS lives | +|---|---| +| `bootstrap_url` | Your handler's response headers. Behind API Gateway / Cloud Functions, also configure the `OPTIONS` preflight — the browser sends one before any request with custom headers. See the recommended preflight response below. | +| `mcp_servers[].url` | The MCP server itself. Public ones (Linear, Atlassian) already allow it. Internal ones almost certainly don't until you add it. | +| `skills[].url` | **The bucket, not the URL.** Presigned URLs auth the request — they don't grant CORS. S3 needs a bucket CORS config, GCS needs `gsutil cors set`, Azure needs blob service CORS rules. | +| `otlp_endpoint` | Your OTEL collector's HTTP receiver. Most collectors default to same-origin only — set `cors.allowed_origins` on the OTLP/HTTP receiver. | + +For `bootstrap_url`, the recommended preflight response is: + +``` +Access-Control-Allow-Origin: https://pivot.claude.ai +Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET +Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Authorization, X-Claude-User-Agent, * +``` + +Allowing `*` for request headers is safe here — security comes from the Entra +token, not header filtering — and keeps preflights working if the add-in adds +headers in future. Keep `Allow-Origin` pinned to `https://pivot.claude.ai`. + +The presigned-URL one bites hardest because `curl` works (curl ignores CORS), +the signature is valid, the object exists, and the skill still doesn't load. +Set bucket CORS once: + +```json +// S3 — aws s3api put-bucket-cors --bucket --cors-configuration file://cors.json +{ "CORSRules": [{ "AllowedOrigins": ["https://pivot.claude.ai"], "AllowedMethods": ["GET"], "AllowedHeaders": ["*"] }] } +``` + +```bash +# GCS — gsutil cors set cors.json gs:// +[{"origin": ["https://pivot.claude.ai"], "method": ["GET"], "responseHeader": ["*"]}] +``` + +```bash +# Azure — az storage cors add --services b --methods GET --origins https://pivot.claude.ai --allowed-headers '*' --account-name +``` + +If you're debugging a CORS failure: open the browser devtools inside the +taskpane (right-click → Inspect on Windows, or attach via Safari's Develop +menu on Mac), look for the request in the Network tab.

Use it to return different skills or MCP +servers per Office product, or to gate the add-in to specific hosts for a user. + +Without `entra_sso=1` there's no Authorization header — the request is +anonymous from the add-in's side. That's fine if the endpoint sits behind +network isolation, mTLS, or another auth layer the add-in doesn't see. + +With `entra_sso=1`, validate the JWT before trusting it: + +| Claim | Check | +|---|---| +| `aud` | `c2995f31-11e7-4882-b7a7-ef9def0a0266` — the add-in's default app ID, or your own app's GUID if you set `graph_client_id` in the [manifest](manifest.md#entra-sso).

Libraries handle this; don't hand-roll it. | +| `oid` | The user's stable object ID. This is your lookup key — email (`upn`/`preferred_username`) can change, `oid` doesn't. | + +If you set `entra_scope` in the [manifest](manifest.md#entra-sso), the Bearer +is an **access token**, not an ID token.

Run [consent](consent.md#outlook--microsoft-graph-consent) before +deploying — otherwise every user hits "Need admin approval" on first open. + +If their policy forbids consenting to a third-party app, prompt for +`graph_client_id` (their own single-tenant Entra app's client ID with +Mail.ReadWrite, Calendars.Read, People.Read, User.Read, offline_access +delegated permissions and admin consent granted). Otherwise leave it unset and +the add-in uses Anthropic's multi-tenant app. + +## Sovereign / national clouds (GCC-High, DoD, 21Vianet) + +The add-in auto-detects the tenant's national cloud at sign-in (from the +authority host Office reports) and resolves the matching Graph + Entra +endpoints, so most sovereign tenants need **no cloud config**. The only +required step is bringing your own Entra app via `graph_client_id` — +Anthropic's multi-tenant app exists only in the commercial cloud; see +[entra-app](entra-app.md#gcc-high--dod--21vianet) for the registration steps in +the Azure Government / 21Vianet portals.

Set it +when your deployment needs the user's Microsoft identity — Bedrock uses it as +the STS web identity, the bootstrap endpoint uses it as Bearer auth, and +per-user attrs ([update-user-attrs](update-user-attrs.md)) ride inside it as +`extn.*` claims. + +**Admin consent is a prerequisite.** Without it, every user hits a Microsoft +consent dialog on first open. Run [consent](consent.md) first so +`entra_sso=1` is silent for your users. + +If you don't need Entra — static gateway config, Vertex with Google OAuth — +leave it off. Users won't see a Microsoft prompt for a setup that doesn't +involve Microsoft. + +**Bring your own Entra app.** By default the token is requested as Anthropic's +multi-tenant app (`c2995f31-…`), so its `aud` claim is that GUID. If your +bootstrap endpoint or token-exchange service requires `aud` to match an app +registered in *your* tenant, set `graph_client_id=`. See +[entra-app](entra-app.md) for the registration steps (redirect URIs, API setup, +admin consent). [consent](consent.md) covers Anthropic's default app only. + +**Send an access token instead of the ID token.** With `graph_client_id` alone +the add-in still sends an *ID token* to your bootstrap endpoint — `aud` is your +app's GUID, but there's no `scp` claim. If your endpoint is a standard OAuth2 +protected resource that validates `aud` + `scp`, or an RFC 8693 token-exchange +service, set `entra_scope=api:///` and the add-in +requests an *access token* for that scope instead. The Bearer it sends carries +`aud` = your API's App ID URI and `scp` = the granted scope. In Entra, on your +app registration: **Expose an API** (Application ID URI `api://`), add a +scope such as `access_as_user`, and grant the same app delegated permission to +it, then grant admin consent for the tenant. In the app manifest, set +`accessTokenAcceptedVersion: 2` so the issued token uses v2.0 claims +(`iss = login.microsoftonline.com//v2.0`, `azp`, `preferred_username`); +leave it unset and you get v1.0 tokens, which your validator may reject. +`/.default` (requests all consented scopes) also works. + +**Multiple scopes.** `entra_scope` accepts a comma- or whitespace-separated +list — `entra_scope=api:///use_llm,api:///admin`. All scopes must +target the **same resource**: one access token has one `aud`, so MSAL cannot +mint a token spanning two APIs (`api://torii/x,api://other/y` will fail or +silently honor only one). The Bearer's `scp` claim is the space-joined list. +If you need every consented scope, prefer `/.default` over enumerating them. + +`entra_scope` requires `graph_client_id` — the build script enforces *that +pairing* but not the scope string itself: any non-blank value is accepted and +Entra validates the syntax at sign-in (a malformed scope surfaces as an +`AADSTS` error, not a build failure). Both keys are manifest-only: the add-in +needs them to initialize NAA *before* it can read extension attrs or call your +bootstrap endpoint, so neither can arrive through those layers. Leave +`entra_scope` unset and the ID token is sent. + +## Use the Entra token as your gateway credential + +If your gateway already validates Entra JWTs (`aud` + `scp` against your own +API resource), you don't need a separate `gateway_token` or a bootstrap hop — +set `gateway_auth_source=entra` and the add-in sends the Entra access token it +acquired above directly as `Authorization: Bearer` on every gateway call, and +silently re-acquires it before expiry. The end-user experience is zero-input +SSO: open the add-in, start chatting. + +```bash +node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/build-manifest.mjs" office manifest.xml \ + gateway_url=https://llm-gateway.your-org.example \ + entra_sso=1 \ + graph_client_id= \ + entra_scope=api:///access_as_user \ + gateway_auth_source=entra +``` + +`gateway_auth_source=entra` requires `entra_scope` (and therefore +`graph_client_id` and `entra_sso=1`); the build script enforces this. It +implies `gateway_auth_header=authorization`, so you can omit that key. Don't +also set `gateway_token` — it's ignored, and the script warns. + +**Entra setup:** see [entra-app](entra-app.md) — the *Gateway / bootstrap auth* +row of the permissions table, plus the +[backend validation](entra-app.md#what-your-backend-validates) section for the +`iss`/`aud`/`scp`/JWKS values your gateway should check. GCC High / DoD +deployments are covered in the +[same doc](entra-app.md#gcc-high--dod--21vianet). + +## Bootstrap endpoint + +`bootstrap_url` points to an HTTPS endpoint you host. At startup the add-in +fetches per-user JSON from it — provider keys, `mcp_servers`, `skills` — and +the response overrides manifest values for that user. The URL itself is +[interpolated](bootstrap.md#template-interpolation) against manifest + attrs +before the fetch, so one endpoint can branch on a query param. + +See [bootstrap](bootstrap.md) for the request/response contract, JWT +validation, and handler scaffolding. + +## MCP servers + +`mcp_servers` is a JSON array of customer-hosted MCP servers the add-in +connects to directly. Each entry is `{url, label, headers?, discover?}` — +`headers` present means static auth; absent triggers OAuth discovery. Values +interpolate other config keys via `{{gateway_url}}`-style templates. + +Setting it here applies one list org-wide; per-user lists belong in +[bootstrap](bootstrap.md#mcp_servers), which also has the full schema. The +value is JSON inside a shell arg — single-quote it: + +```bash +mcp_servers='[{"url":"{{gateway_url}}/deepwiki/mcp","label":"DeepWiki","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer {{gateway_token}}"}}]' +``` + +## Telemetry + +`otlp_endpoint` routes the add-in's OpenTelemetry traces to a collector you +operate. Set it to the collector's base HTTPS URL — the add-in appends +`/v1/traces` and posts OTLP/HTTP. gRPC isn't supported (the add-in runs in a +browser WebView). Leave it unset and no custom collector is configured. + +`otlp_headers` supplies authentication headers for that collector, in the same +`key1=value1,key2=value2` format as the standard +`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` variable. URL-encode the value in the manifest. + +`otlp_resource_attributes` adds attributes to the OpenTelemetry Resource on +every span, in the same `key1=value1,key2=value2` format as the standard +`OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES` variable. Use this when your collector requires +specific resource attributes for routing or attribution (e.g. +`team.name=platform,deployment.environment=prod`). The add-in already sets +`service.name`, `service.version`, and `git.sha`; values you provide here are +merged on top. + +Setting these here applies one collector org-wide; per-user routing belongs in +[bootstrap](bootstrap.md#telemetry) or extension attrs. + +## Inference headers + +`inference_headers` is a JSON object of extra HTTP headers the add-in attaches +to every request it sends to your gateway (`gateway_url`). Use it for +accounting or cost-allocation tags your gateway expects — e.g., an internal +application ID — so you don't need a header-injecting proxy in front of it. +Applies only when using a gateway; direct cloud connections ignore it. + +```bash +inference_headers='{"x-application-id":"app123"}' +``` + +The add-in treats the values as opaque. `Authorization`, `x-api-key`, +`Content-Type`, `Host`, `Content-Length`, `User-Agent`, `Cookie`, and any +`anthropic-*` / `x-amz-*` / `x-goog-*` header are reserved and silently dropped +— they carry the add-in's own auth and protocol negotiation. + +Setting it here applies one header set org-wide; per-user values belong in +[bootstrap](bootstrap.md#inference_headers). + +## Auto-connect + +Default: when all fields for a provider are set, users skip the connection form +and land straight in chat. Ask: should they instead see the form first +(prefilled, one click)?

Write formulas via `range.formulas = [["=E7/C7"]]`, not `range.values`. No separate recalc step — Excel handles it natively. Use `range.format.*` for colors/fonts. +- **If generating a standalone .xlsx file:** Use Python/openpyxl. Write `cell.value = "=E7/C7"` (formula string). +- Same principles either way — just translate the API calls. +- **Office JS merged cell pitfall:** Do NOT call `.merge()` then set `.values` on the merged range (throws `InvalidArgument` — range still reports its pre-merge dimensions). Instead write the value to the top-left cell alone, then merge + format the full range: + ```js + ws.getRange("A1").values = [["TECHNOLOGY — COMPARABLE COMPANY ANALYSIS"]]; + const hdr = ws.getRange("A1:H1"); + hdr.merge(); + hdr.format.fill.color = "#1F4E79"; + hdr.format.font.color = "#FFFFFF"; + hdr.format.font.bold = true; + ``` + +**Formulas, not hardcodes:** +- Every derived value (margin, multiple, statistic) MUST be an Excel formula referencing input cells — never a pre-computed number pasted in +- When using Python/openpyxl to build the sheet: write `cell.value = "=E7/C7"` (formula string), NOT `cell.value = 0.687` (computed result) +- The only hardcoded values should be raw input data (revenue, EBITDA, share price, etc.) — and every one of those gets a cell comment with its source +- Why: the model must update automatically when an input changes. A hardcoded margin is a silent bug waiting to happen. + +**Verify step-by-step with the user:** +- After setting up the structure → show the user the header layout before filling data +- After entering raw inputs → show the user the input block and confirm sources/periods before building formulas +- After building operating metrics formulas → show the calculated margins and sanity-check with the user before moving to valuation +- After building valuation multiples → show the multiples and confirm they look reasonable before adding statistics +- Do NOT build the entire sheet end-to-end and then present it — catch errors early by confirming each section + +--- + +## Section 1: Document Structure & Setup + +### Header Block (Rows 1-3) +``` +Row 1: [ANALYSIS TITLE] - COMPARABLE COMPANY ANALYSIS +Row 2: [List of Companies with Tickers] • [Company 1 (TICK1)] • [Company 2 (TICK2)] • [Company 3 (TICK3)] +Row 3: As of [Period] | All figures in [USD Millions/Billions] except per-share amounts and ratios +``` + +**Why this matters:** Establishes context immediately.

The goal is institutional-quality analysis, not institutional-looking templates. + +User-provided examples and explicit preferences always take precedence over defaults. + +## Core Philosophy +**"Build the right structure first, then let the data tell the story."** + +Start with headers that force strategic thinking about what matters, input clean data, build transparent formulas, and let statistics emerge automatically. A good comp should be immediately readable by someone who didn't build it. + +--- + +## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Formulas Over Hardcodes + Step-by-Step Verification + +**Environment — Office JS vs Python:** +- **If running inside Excel (Office Add-in / Office JS):** Use Office JS directly (`Excel.run(async (context) => {...})`). Write formulas via `range.formulas = [["=E7/C7"]]`, not `range.values`. No separate recalc step — Excel handles it natively. Use `range.format.*` for colors/fonts. +- **If generating a standalone .xlsx file:** Use Python/openpyxl. Write `cell.value = "=E7/C7"` (formula string). +- Same principles either way — just translate the API calls. +- **Office JS merged cell pitfall:** Do NOT call `.merge()` then set `.values` on the merged range (throws `InvalidArgument` — range still reports its pre-merge dimensions). Instead write the value to the top-left cell alone, then merge + format the full range: + ```js + ws.getRange("A1").values = [["TECHNOLOGY — COMPARABLE COMPANY ANALYSIS"]]; + const hdr = ws.getRange("A1:H1"); + hdr.merge(); + hdr.format.fill.color = "#1F4E79"; + hdr.format.font.color = "#FFFFFF"; + hdr.format.font.bold = true; + ``` + +**Formulas, not hardcodes:** +- Every derived value (margin, multiple, statistic) MUST be an Excel formula referencing input cells — never a pre-computed number pasted in +- When using Python/openpyxl to build the sheet: write `cell.value = "=E7/C7"` (formula string), NOT `cell.value = 0.687` (computed result) +- The only hardcoded values should be raw input data (revenue, EBITDA, share price, etc.) — and every one of those gets a cell comment with its source +- Why: the model must update automatically when an input changes. A hardcoded margin is a silent bug waiting to happen. + +**Verify step-by-step with the user:** +- After setting up the structure → show the user the header layout before filling data +- After entering raw inputs → show the user the input block and confirm sources/periods before building formulas +- After building operating metrics formulas → show the calculated margins and sanity-check with the user before moving to valuation +- After building valuation multiples → show the multiples and confirm they look reasonable before adding statistics +- Do NOT build the entire sheet end-to-end and then present it — catch errors early by confirming each section + +--- + +## Section 1: Document Structure & Setup + +### Header Block (Rows 1-3) +``` +Row 1: [ANALYSIS TITLE] - COMPARABLE COMPANY ANALYSIS +Row 2: [List of Companies with Tickers] • [Company 1 (TICK1)] • [Company 2 (TICK2)] • [Company 3 (TICK3)] +Row 3: As of [Period] | All figures in [USD Millions/Billions] except per-share amounts and ratios +``` + +**Why this matters:** Establishes context immediately.

Instead: write value to top-left cell alone (`ws.getRange("A7").values = [["SOURCES & USES"]]`), then merge + format the full range (`ws.getRange("A7:F7").merge(); ws.getRange("A7:F7").format.fill.color = "#1F4E79";`) + +**If generating a standalone .xlsx file (no live Excel session):** +- Use Python/openpyxl as described below +- Write formula strings (`ws["D20"] = "=B5*B6"`), then run `recalc.py` before delivery + +The rest of this skill is written with openpyxl examples, but the same principles apply to Office JS — just translate the API calls. + +### Core Principles +* **Every calculation must be an Excel formula** - NEVER compute values in Python and hardcode results into cells. When using openpyxl, write `cell.value = "=B5*B6"` (formula string), NOT `cell.value = 1250` (computed result). The model must be dynamic and update when inputs change. +* **Use the template structure** - Follow the organization in `examples/LBO_Model.xlsx` or the user's provided template. Do not invent your own layout. +* **Use proper cell references** - All formulas should reference the appropriate cells. Never type numbers that should come from other cells. +* **Maintain sign convention consistency** - Follow whatever sign convention the template uses (some use negative for outflows, some use positive). Be consistent throughout. +* **Work section by section, verify with user at each step** - Complete one section fully, show the user what was built, run the section's verification checks, and get confirmation BEFORE moving to the next section. Do NOT build the entire model end-to-end and then present it — later sections depend on earlier ones, so catching a mistake in Sources & Uses after the returns are already built means rework everywhere. + +### Formula Color Conventions +* **Blue (0000FF)**: Hardcoded inputs - typed numbers that don't reference other cells +* **Black (000000)**: Formulas with calculations - any formula using operators or functions (`=B4*B5`, `=SUM()`, `=-MAX(0,B4)`) +* **Purple (800080)**: Links to cells on the **same tab** - direct references with no calculation (`=B9`, `=B45`) +* **Green (008000)**: Links to cells on **different tabs** - cross-sheet references (`=Assumptions!B5`, `='Operating Model'!C10`) + +### Fill Color Palette — Professional Blues & Greys (Default unless user/template specifies otherwise) +* **Keep it minimal** — only use blues and greys for cell fills. Do NOT introduce greens, yellows, reds, or multiple accents. A professional LBO model uses restraint. +* **Default fill palette:** + * **Section headers** (Sources & Uses, Operating Model, etc.): Dark blue `#1F4E79` with white bold text + * **Column headers** (Year 1, Year 2, etc.): Light blue `#D9E1F2` with black bold text + * **Input cells**: Light grey `#F2F2F2` (or just white) — the blue *font* is the signal, fill is secondary + * **Formula/calculated cells**: White, no fill + * **Key outputs** (IRR, MOIC, Exit Equity): Medium blue `#BDD7EE` with black bold text +* **That's the whole palette.** 3 blues + 1 grey + white. If the template uses its own colors, follow the template instead. +* Note: The blue/black/purple/green **font** colors above are for distinguishing inputs vs formulas vs links. Those are separate from the **fill** palette here — both work together. + +### Number Formatting Standards +* **Currency**: `$#,##0;($#,##0);"-"` or `$#,##0.0` depending on template +* **Percentages**: `0.0%` (one decimal) +* **Multiples**: `0.0"x"` (one decimal) +* **MOIC/Detailed Ratios**: `0.00"x"` (two decimals for precision) +* **All numeric cells**: Right-aligned + +--- + +### Clarify Requirements First + +Before filling any formulas: + +* **Examine the template structure** - Identify all sections, understand the timeline (which columns are which periods), note any existing formulas +* **Ask the user if anything is unclear** - If the template structure, calculation methods, or requirements are ambiguous, ask before proceeding +* **Confirm key assumptions** - Any key inputs, calculation preferences, or specific requirements +* **ONLY AFTER understanding the template**, proceed to fill in formulas + +--- + +## TEMPLATE ANALYSIS PHASE - DO THIS FIRST + +Before filling any formulas, examine the template thoroughly: + +1. **Map the structure** - Identify where each section lives and how they relate to each other. Note which sections feed into others. + +2. **Understand the timeline** - Which columns represent which periods? Is there a "Closing" or "Pro Forma" column? Where does the projection period start? + +3. **Identify input vs formula cells** - Templates often use color coding, borders, or shading to indicate which cells need inputs vs formulas. Respect these conventions. + +4. **Read existing labels carefully** - The row labels tell you exactly what calculation is expected. Don't assume - read what the template is asking for. + +5. **Check for existing formulas** - Some templates come partially filled. Don't overwrite working formulas unless specifically asked. + +6. **Note template-specific conventions** - Sign conventions, subtotal structures, how sections are organized, whether there are separate tabs for different components, etc. + +--- + +## FILLING FORMULAS - GENERAL APPROACH + +For each cell that needs a formula, follow this hierarchy: + +### Step 1: Check the Template +* Does the cell already have a formula? If yes, verify it's correct and move on. +* Is there a comment or note indicating the expected calculation? +* Does the row/column label make the calculation obvious? +* Do neighboring cells show a pattern you should follow? + +### Step 2: Check the User's Instructions +* Did the user specify a particular calculation method? +* Are there stated assumptions that affect this formula? +* Any special requirements mentioned? + +### Step 3: Apply Standard Practice +* If neither template nor user specifies, use standard LBO modeling conventions +* Document any assumptions you make +* If genuinely uncertain, ask the user + +--- + +## COMMON PROBLEM AREAS + +The following calculation patterns frequently cause issues across LBO models. Pay special attention when you encounter these: + +### Balancing Sections +* When two sections must equal (e.g., Sources = Uses), one item is typically the "plug" (balancing figure) +* Identify which item is the plug and calculate it as the difference + +### Tax Calculations +* Tax formulas should only reference the relevant income line and tax rate +* Should NOT reference unrelated sections (e.g., debt schedules) +* Consider whether losses create tax shields or are simply ignored + +### Interest and Circular References +* Interest calculations can create circularity if they reference balances affected by cash flows +* Use **Beginning Balance** (not average or ending) to break circular references +* Pattern: Interest → Cash Flow → Paydown → Ending Balance (if interest uses ending balance, this circles back) + +### Debt Paydown / Cash Sweeps +* When multiple debt tranches exist, there's usually a priority order +* Cash sweep should respect the priority waterfall +* Balances cannot go negative - use MAX or MIN functions appropriately + +### Returns Calculations (IRR/MOIC) +* Cash flows must have correct signs: Investment = negative, Proceeds = positive +* If using XIRR, need corresponding dates +* If using IRR, cash flows should be in consecutive periods +* MOIC = Total Proceeds / Total Investment + +### Sensitivity Tables +* **Use ODD dimensions** (5×5 or 7×7) — never 4×4 or 6×6. Odd dimensions guarantee a true center cell. +* **Center cell = base case.** Build the row and column axis values symmetrically around the model's actual assumptions (e.g., if base entry multiple = 10.0x, axis = `[8.0x, 9.0x, 10.0x, 11.0x, 12.0x]`). The center cell's IRR/MOIC MUST then equal the model's actual IRR/MOIC output — this is the proof the table is wired correctly. +* **Highlight the center cell** — medium-blue fill (`#BDD7EE`) + bold font so the base case is visually anchored. +* Excel's DATA TABLE function may not work with openpyxl — instead write explicit formulas that reference row/column headers +* Each cell should show a DIFFERENT value — if all same, formulas aren't varying correctly +* Use mixed references (e.g., `$A5` for row input, `B$4` for column input) + +--- + +## VERIFICATION CHECKLIST -

Review before starting: + +**Environment: Office JS vs Python/openpyxl:** +- **If running inside Excel (Office Add-in / Office JS environment):** Use Office JS directly — do NOT use Python/openpyxl. Write formulas via `range.formulas = [["=D19*(1+$B$8)"]]`. No separate recalc step needed; Excel calculates natively. Use `range.format.*` for styling. The same formulas-over-hardcodes rule applies: set `.formulas`, never `.values` for derived cells. +- **If generating a standalone .xlsx file (no live Excel session):** Use Python/openpyxl as described below, then run `recalc.py` before delivery. +- The rest of this skill uses openpyxl examples — translate to Office JS API calls when in that environment, but all principles (formula strings, cell comments, section checkpoints, sensitivity table loops) apply identically. + +**⚠️ Office JS merged cell pitfall:** When building section headers with merged cells, do NOT call `.merge()` then set `.values` on the merged range — Office JS still reports the range's original dimensions and will throw `InvalidArgument: The number of rows or columns in the input array doesn't match the size or dimensions of the range`. Instead, write the value to the top-left cell alone, then merge and format the full range: + +```js +// WRONG — throws InvalidArgument: +const hdr = ws.getRange("A7:H7"); +hdr.merge(); +hdr.values = [["MARKET DATA & KEY INPUTS"]]; // 1×1 array vs 1×8 range → fails + +// CORRECT — value first on single cell, then merge + format the range: +ws.getRange("A7").values = [["MARKET DATA & KEY INPUTS"]]; +const hdr = ws.getRange("A7:H7"); +hdr.merge(); +hdr.format.fill.color = "#1F4E79"; +hdr.format.font.bold = true; +hdr.format.font.color = "#FFFFFF"; +``` + +This applies to every merged section header in the DCF (market data, scenario blocks, cash flow projection, terminal value, valuation summary, sensitivity tables). + +**Formulas Over Hardcodes (NON-NEGOTIABLE):** +- Every projection, margin, discount factor, PV, and sensitivity cell MUST be a live Excel formula — never a value computed in Python and written as a number +- When using openpyxl: `ws["D20"] = "=D19*(1+$B$8)"` is correct; `ws["D20"] = calculated_revenue` is WRONG +- The only hardcoded numbers permitted are: (1) raw historical inputs, (2) assumption drivers (growth rates, WACC inputs, terminal g), (3) current market data (share price, debt balance) +- If you catch yourself computing something in Python and writing the result — STOP. The model must flex when the user changes an assumption. + +**Verify Step-by-Step With the User (DO NOT build end-to-end):** +- After data retrieval → show the user the raw inputs block (revenue, margins, shares, net debt) and confirm before projecting +- After revenue projections → show the projected top line and growth rates, confirm before building margin build +- After FCF build → show the full FCF schedule, confirm logic before computing WACC +- After WACC → show the calculation and inputs, confirm before discounting +- After terminal value + PV → show the equity bridge (EV → equity value → per share), confirm before sensitivity tables +- Catch errors at each stage — a wrong margin assumption discovered after sensitivity tables are built means rebuilding everything downstream + +**Sensitivity Tables:** +- **Use an ODD number of rows and columns** (standard: 5×5, sometimes 7×7) — this guarantees a true center cell +- **Center cell = base case.** Build the axis values so the middle row header and middle column header exactly equal the model's actual assumptions (e.g., if base WACC = 9.0%, the middle row is 9.0%; if terminal g = 3.0%, the middle column is 3.0%). The center cell's output must therefore equal the model's actual implied share price — this is the sanity check that the table is built correctly. +- **Highlight the center cell** with the medium-blue fill (`#BDD7EE`) + bold font so it's immediately visible which cell is the base case. +- Populate ALL cells (typically 3 tables × 25 cells = 75) with full DCF recalculation formulas +- Use openpyxl loops (or Office JS loops) to write formulas programmatically +- NO placeholder text, NO linear approximations, NO manual steps required +- Each cell must recalculate full DCF for that assumption combination + +**Cell Comments:** +- Add cell comments AS each hardcoded value is created +- Format: "Source: [System/Document], [Date], [Reference], [URL if applicable]" +- Every blue input must have a comment before moving to next section +- Do not defer to end or write "TODO: add source" + +**Model Layout Planning:** +- Define ALL section row positions BEFORE writing any formulas +- Write ALL headers and labels first +- Write ALL section dividers and blank rows second +- THEN write formulas using the locked row positions +- Test formulas immediately after creation + +**Formula Recalculation:** +- Run `python recalc.py model.xlsx 30` before delivery +- Fix ALL errors until status is "success" +- Zero formula errors required (#REF!, #DIV/0!, #VALUE!, etc.) + +**Scenario Blocks:** +- Create separate blocks for Bear/Base/Bull cases +- Show assumptions horizontally across projection years within each block +- Use IF formulas: `=IF($B$6=1,[Bear cell],IF($B$6=2,[Base cell],[Bull cell]))` +- Verify formulas reference correct scenario block cells + +## DCF Process Workflow + +### Step 1: Data Retrieval and Validation + +Fetch data from MCP servers, user provided data, and the web. + +**Data Sources Priority:** +1. **MCP Servers** (if configured) - Structured financial data from providers like Daloopa +2. **User-Provided Data** - Historical financials from their research +3. **Web Search/Fetch** - Current prices, beta, debt and cash when needed + +**Validation Checklist:** +- Verify net debt vs net cash (critical for valuation) +- Confirm diluted shares outstanding (check for recent buybacks/issuances) +- Validate historical margins are consistent with business model +- Cross-check revenue growth rates with industry benchmarks +- Verify tax rate is reasonable (typically 21-28%) + +### Step 2: Historical Analysis (3-5 years) + +Analyze and document: +- **Revenue growth trends**: Calculate CAGR, identify drivers +- **Margin progression**: Track gross margin, EBIT margin, FCF margin +- **Capital intensity**: D&A and CapEx as % of revenue +- **Working capital efficiency**: NWC changes as % of revenue growth +- **Return metrics**: ROIC, ROE trends + +Create summary tables showing: +``` +Historical Metrics (LTM): +Revenue: $X million +Revenue growth: X% CAGR +Gross margin: X% +EBIT margin: X% +D&A % of revenue: X% +CapEx % of revenue: X% +FCF margin: X% +``` + +### Step 3: Build Revenue Projections + +**Methodology:** +1.

Workable, but confirm the mapping before you touch anything — a "$512M" that you map to revenue but the user meant for gross profit is a quiet disaster. + +Also ask about **derived numbers**: if revenue moves, does the user want growth rates and share percentages recalculated, or left alone?

You're not just executing a find-replace — you're catching the second-order effects the user would've missed at 11pm. If the mapping says `$485M → $512M` and slide 3 also has `+15% YoY` right next to it, that growth rate is probably wrong now. Flag it; don't silently fix it, don't silently leave it. + +Use `ask_user_question` for the approval: proceed as shown, proceed but skip the flagged items, or let them revise the mapping first. + +## Phase 4 — Execute, preserve, report + +For each change, make the smallest edit that accomplishes it. How that happens depends on your environment: + +- **Add-in** — edit the specific run, cell, or chart series directly in the live deck. +- **Chat** — regenerate the affected slide with the new value in place, preserving every other element exactly as it was, and write it back to the file. + +Either way, the standard is the same: + +- **Text in a shape** — change the value, leave font/size/color/bold state exactly as they were. If `$485M` is 14pt navy bold inside a sentence, `$512M` is 14pt navy bold inside the same sentence. +- **Table cell** — change the cell, leave the table alone. +- **Chart data** — update the underlying series values so the bars/lines actually move. Editing just the label without the data leaves a chart that lies. + +Don't reformat anything you didn't need to touch. The deck's existing style is correct by definition; you're a surgeon, not a renovator. + +After the last edit, report what actually happened: + +``` +Updated 11 values across 8 slides. + +Changed: + [the list from Phase 3, now past-tense] + +Still flagged — did NOT change: + Slide 3 — "+15% YoY" (derived; confirm separately) + Slide 7 — "12% market share" +``` + +Run standard visual verification checks on every edited slide. A number that got longer (`$485M` → `$1,205M`) might now overflow its text box or push a table column width. Catch it before the user does. + +## What you're not doing + +- **Not rebuilding slides** — if a slide's narrative no longer makes sense with the new numbers ("margins compressed" but margins went up), flag it, don't rewrite it. +- **Not recalculating unless asked** — derived numbers are the user's call. Your Phase 1 question covers this. +- **Not touching formatting** — if the deck uses `$MM` and the user's mapping says `$M`, match the deck, not the mapping.

Use whenever the user asks to review, check, QC, proof, or do a final pass on a deck, pitch, or client materials — including requests like "check my numbers", "reconcile figures across slides", "is this client-ready", or "what am I missing before I send this out". +--- + +# IB Deck Checker + +Perform comprehensive QC on the presentation across four dimensions. Read every slide, then report findings. + +## Environment check + +This skill works in both the PowerPoint add-in and chat. Identify which you're in before starting: + +- **Add-in** — read from the live open deck. +- **Chat** — read from the uploaded `.pptx` file. + +This is read-and-report only — no edits — so the workflow is identical in both. + +## Workflow + +### Read the deck + +Pull text from every slide, keeping track of which slide each line came from. You'll need slide-level attribution for every finding ("$500M appears on slides 3 and 8, but slide 15 shows $485M"). A deck with 30 slides is too much to hold in working memory reliably — write the extracted text to a file so the number-checking script can process it. + +The script expects markdown-ish input with slide markers. Format as: + +``` +## Slide 1 +[slide 1 text content] + +## Slide 2 +[slide 2 text content] +``` + +### 1. Number consistency + +Run the extraction script on what you collected: + +```bash +python scripts/extract_numbers.py /tmp/deck_content.md --check +``` + +It normalizes units ($500M vs $500MM vs $500,000,000 → same number), categorizes values (revenue, EBITDA, multiples, margins), and flags when the same metric category shows conflicting values on different slides. This is the part most likely to catch something a human missed on the fifth read-through. + +Beyond what the script flags, verify: +- Calculations are correct (totals sum, percentages add up, growth rates match the endpoints) +- Unit style is consistent — the deck should pick one of $M or $MM and stick with it +- Time periods are aligned — FY vs LTM vs quarterly, explicitly labeled + +### 2. Data-narrative alignment + +Map claims to the data that's supposed to support them. This is where decks go wrong quietly — someone edits the chart on slide 7 and forgets the narrative on slide 4. + +- Trend statements ("declining margins") → does the chart actually go that direction? +- Market position claims ("#1 player") → revenue and share data support it? +- Plausibility — "#1 in a $100B market" with $200M revenue is 0.2% share; that's not #1 + +### 3. Language polish + +IB decks have a register. Scan for anything that breaks it: casual phrasing ("pretty good", "a lot of"), contractions, exclamation points, vague quantifiers without numbers, inconsistent terminology for the same concept. + +See `references/ib-terminology.md` for replacement patterns. + +### 4. Visual and formatting QC + +Run standard visual verification checks on each slide. You're looking for: missing chart source citations, missing axis labels, typography inconsistencies, number formatting drift (1,000 vs 1K within the same deck), date format drift, footnote and disclaimer gaps. + +Visual verification catches overlaps, overflow, and contrast issues that don't show up in text extraction. Don't skip it — a chart with no source citation looks the same as a properly sourced one in the text dump. + +## Output + +Use `references/report-format.md` as the structure. Categorize by severity: + +- **Critical** — number mismatches, factual errors, data contradicting narrative. These block client delivery. +- **Important** — language, missing sources, terminology drift. Should fix. +- **Minor** — font sizes, spacing, date formats. Polish. + +Lead with criticals. If there aren't any, say so explicitly — "no number inconsistencies found" is a finding, not an absence of one. diff --git
