LBO ModelFinance Skill
Instructions for filling an LBO template through sources and uses, operating forecasts, debt schedules, returns, and sensitivities, with user review after each section. The directory contains neither its standard workbook nor the referenced recalculation helper. Beginning-balance interest is an approximation, and sensitivity-grid conventions do not establish calculation accuracy or compatibility with every template.

How the assessment score works
Pineify weights evidence recorded from the captured files: Skill structure 15%, Instruction clarity 20%, Dependency transparency 20%, Permission transparency 20%, Safety guardrails 15%, Finance task fit 10%. Each signal receives full credit for Yes, one-quarter credit for unknown, and none for No.
The score is not an output accuracy test or user rating. Read the findings and financial assumptions even when the score is high. Risk labels summarize recorded permissions and findings; they do not measure investment risk or certify that installation is safe.

Permissions
FilesystemRead
YesThe workflow reads template files (e.g. examples/LBO_Model.xlsx) and user-provided templates.
FilesystemWrite
YesThe workflow generates Excel model files with formulas, formatting, and cell color conventions.
NetworkAccess
NoNo network access is required or referenced. All data comes from user-provided assumptions and templates.
ShellExecution
YesThe workflow references running a Python recalc script (recalc.py) for formula validation after model completion.
CodeExecution
YesThe workflow references Python/openpyxl for standalone .xlsx generation and a recalc.py script for formula validation. No code files are included in the captured directory.
ExternalCredentials
NoNo external credentials or paid data sources are referenced.
Dependencies
openpyxl
Python library for standalone .xlsx file generation
Python openpyxl library for generating Excel files with formulas and formatting.
recalc.py
Formula validation script for recalculation
External formula validation script that must return success with zero errors.

Medium
Beginning-balance interest is an approximation
Using beginning debt balances can break circularity, but it does not model the actual timing of debt issuance, repayments, rate changes, or PIK accrual. Define that convention explicitly and reconcile interest, cash availability, and debt terms. Tax treatment may depend on interest deductibility and loss carryforwards; a blanket rule excluding debt-schedule effects is insufficient.
Medium
Dependency manifest is absent from the snapshot
No requirements.txt or equivalent manifest is included in the captured directory, though Python/openpyxl and a recalc.py script are referenced.
Medium
Referenced template and validation script are not included
The instructions reference examples/LBO_Model.xlsx as a standard template and /mnt/skills/public/xlsx/recalc.py for formula validation, but neither file is present in the captured directory.
Medium
Test sensitivities beyond the center cell
An odd-sized grid makes a centered base case convenient; it is not required for valid sensitivity analysis. Equal outputs can occur through rounding, payoff caps, or offsetting assumptions. Matching the center value alone does not prove the table is wired correctly: independently vary inputs and reconcile selected scenario calculations.
Medium
Template compatibility and formula accuracy are untested
Only SKILL.md is present. The standard workbook and recalc.py helper are absent, and openpyxl does not calculate formulas. Check the actual template, host calculation engine, cached results, debt terms, and return cash-flow dates; the claim of adapting to any template with financial accuracy is unsupported.
Low
Financial advice boundary is absent
The workflow produces LBO models for investment committee presentations but includes no explicit investment advice disclaimer.
