# Build DCF Model
Build a discounted cash flow (DCF) valuation model in Excel with professional formatting and investment banking-grade structure.
## What This Command Does
Creates a complete 4-sheet DCF model:
1. **Assumptions** - Revenue growth, margins, WACC, terminal growth
2. **FCF Projections** - 5-year free cash flow forecast
3. **Valuation** - Present value calculations and enterprise value
4. **Sensitivity** - Two-way sensitivity table (WACC vs terminal growth)
## Instructions for Claude
When the user types `/build-dcf`, follow these steps:
### 1. Gather Inputs
Ask the user for:
- Company name and ticker
- Base year revenue (most recent fiscal year)
- Revenue growth rates for Years 1-5

### 2. Validate Inputs
Ensure:
- Revenue growth rates are reasonable (0-30%)
- EBITDA margin is positive
- Tax rate is 0-40%
- Terminal growth < WACC
### 3. Build Model
Use Excel MCP server to:
1. Create new workbook
2. Create 4 sheets
3. Populate assumptions
4. Build FCF projection formulas (link to assumptions)
5. Calculate PV of FCF and terminal value
6. Create sensitivity table
7. Apply professional formatting
### 4. Return Results
Provide:
- Enterprise value
- Equity value (if net debt provided)
- Key assumptions used
- Link to sensitivity analysis
