## Description

This MCP server provides a suite of strategic modeling tools to determine whether to buy or build innovation. It calculates the acquisition NPV, assesses integration risk based on cultural fit and retention, and compares the economic advantage of acquisition against internal development. Use `calculate_acquisition_economics` to find the net value, `assess_integration_risk` to evaluate success probability, and `compare_build_vs_buy` to drive strategic decisions.

## Tools

### assess_integration_risk
Assesses the likelihood of integration success based on organizational and temporal factors

### calculate_acquisition_economics
Calculates the financial value expected from the acquisition

### compare_build_vs_buy
Compares the economic advantage of acquiring an innovation versus developing it internally

### evaluate_talent_retention_impact
Evaluates how much the loss of key personnel will diminish the expected synergy

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the economics for acquiring a startup with a $5M cost, $2M integration cost, and $10M synergy value.
```

**Response:** 
```
The acquisition NPV is $3,000,000 with a total investment of $7,000,000, resulting in a 42.86% ROI.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the integration risk if the process takes 12 months, cultural fit is 0.8, and retention risk is 0.2?
```

**Response:** 
```
The integration risk score is 0.35, which is categorized as Low Risk.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
Should I buy or build? Acquisition NPV is $5M, build cost is $4M, build time is 12 months, and acquisition time is 6 months.
```

**Response:** 
```
The recommendation is Buy, with an advantage value of $9,000,000 driven by Financial Value.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How is the acquisition NPV calculated?**
The `calculate_acquisition_economics` tool calculates NPV by subtracting the total investment (acquisition cost plus integration cost) from the expected synergy value.

**What factors influence the integration risk score?**
The `assess_integration_risk` tool determines the risk score based on the duration of integration, the cultural fit score, and the level of retention risk.

**Can I compare buying an innovation versus building it internally?**
Yes, the `compare_build_vs_buy` tool compares the acquisition NPV against the cost and time required for internal development to provide a recommendation.
