LBO Model (Excel)

What it does

This skill populates and formulas Excel LBO model templates (openpyxl) to produce dynamic, validated buyout models. It fills Sources & Uses, operating projections, debt schedules, returns (IRR/MOIC), and sensitivity tables, enforces formatting/number conventions, and runs a recalculation step before delivery.

When to use it

Use when you need an investment-banking quality LBO model for PE screening, sponsor-case valuation, pitchbooks, or internal diligence. It's intended for workflows where a template is provided or where the standard example template may be used.

What's included

• Scripts: none bundled in this SKILL.md (uses external excel-author helper for recalculation)
• References: no separate references listed
• Instructions: detailed procedural guidance for using templates, color/format conventions, formula hygiene, verification checklist, and section-by-section checkpoints to validate model correctness. Emphasizes always writing formulas (not hardcoding) and verifying with recalc tools.

Compatible agents

Inferred: agents with Python/openpyxl support and file I/O (Hermes/Claude-Code, Codex/Code agents) that can attach or produce .xlsx files and run the excel-author recalc helper.
