Short answer

How can I calculate deal NPV and break-even using my AI?

Your agent uses the analyze_deal_economics tool to process your revenue projections, cost synergies, and integration expenses. This produces a clear view of the net present value and the exact point where the deal pays for itself.

The economic outcomes.

Financial clarity.

The AI processes your raw inputs into these four specific views.

NPV

Net Present Value

The agent calculates the total value of the deal in today's dollars. You get a single number representing the long-term economic worth.

BREAK-EVEN

Break-even Timeline

The AI determines when cumulative synergies will cover the initial acquisition and integration costs.

SYNERGY

Synergy Breakdown

You get a split between revenue-side gains and cost-side savings. This shows exactly where the value is coming from.

HUMAN

Strategic Review

The AI flags high-risk assumptions or unrealistic growth rates. You decide if the math holds up against your actual business intuition.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The agent takes your raw financial inputs and runs them through a structured economic model.

  1. Data ingestion

    Your agent pulls the revenue, cost, and expense figures you provide into a structured format.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my original spreadsheet data?

    No. The agent only reads your data to perform calculations; it cannot modify your source files.

  • 02

    Does the AI decide if a deal is good or bad?

    No. The AI provides the mathematical results, but the final decision to proceed stays entirely with you.

  • 03

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client is MCP-compatible, like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.

  • 04

    What happens if my data is incomplete?

    The agent will run the math with what you provide, but it might flag the results as highly sensitive to missing variables.

  • 05

    Can the AI generate a full PowerPoint deck of these findings?

    No. The agent performs the economic analysis and provides the numbers; it does not create slide decks.
