Goal: produce a complete DCF valuation (scenarios, sensitivities, and an implied stock price or enterprise value) with every underlying calculation exposed so you can own and challenge the numbers.

​
Setup

You need the documents that carry the target’s financials. The walkthrough uses a publicly traded company and its publicly available investor relations data room. For a private target, the data room financials serve the same role. Load them into a dedicated Brain.

​
How it works

1

Select the financial documents

Point the App at the data room containing the statements needed for the DCF.
2

Set the forecast period

Choose your projection horizon; the walkthrough uses a five-year forecast period.
3

Add custom parameters (optional)

An optional step for your own assumptions. The demo skips it and runs on defaults.
4

Review the executive report

When the session completes, the full valuation opens for review.
Behind the report, the App works in two passes: it extracts the figures directly from your documents (detailed cash flow and financial statement data), then runs research to retrieve the online inputs the DCF requires. Before finalizing, an automated integrity check identifies and corrects inconsistencies in the calculations, so the output you review is internally consistent.

​
What you get

A comprehensive executive report covering:
  • DCF calculation context: the framing behind the model.
  • Valuation scorecard with scenario analysis: weighted scenario valuations alongside trading multiples.
  • The implied stock price or enterprise value, depending on your focus.
  • Sensitivity analysis: the hypotheses tested, with full access to every assumption used.
  • Base case calculations in full granularity: every figure is reviewable, so you can validate the model, challenge specific assumptions, or rebuild the valuation from scratch with the same inputs.
The report is built for ownership. You see how each data point was extracted or researched, and the calculation detail is complete enough to defend in committee.

​
Pro tips

  • Challenge the base case before you present it. The granularity is there precisely so you can stress the assumptions; review the sensitivity hypotheses and rerun the analysis where your view differs.
  • Verify extracted figures against the source. Each input traces back to the document or research it came from; spot-check the cash flow drivers before the number leaves your desk.
  • Use custom parameters for house assumptions. If your firm has standard discount-rate or terminal-growth conventions, set them in the optional parameters step rather than adjusting after the fact.
