**Track:** 💰 Finance & Fintech · **Domain:** Risk & Modeling · **Level:** foundation · **~30 min**

**Who this is for:** Fintech Engineers, Financial Analysts, Risk Teams, Controllers

## When to Use This Skill

Structure assumptions, flows, and outputs so anyone can trace every number.
Use it whenever a matching task appears in conversation — the agent loads these instructions on demand.

## Steps

1. Separate inputs / calculations / outputs into distinct sections or sheets
2. One assumption cell referenced everywhere; no hardcoded duplicates
3. Color convention: blue inputs, black formulas, green cross-links
4. Sanity-check row: units, period alignment, growth vs inflation consistency
5. Stress test: flex the two biggest drivers ±30% and observe covenants
6. Version with changelog tab; archive prior versions read-only

## Common Pitfalls

- Circularity hacks breaking recalculation
- Someone typing over a formula cell during a busy close
