# Buyer List

## Workflow

### Step 1: Understand the Target

- Company description, sector, and business model
- Revenue, EBITDA, and growth profile
- Key assets and capabilities (IP, customer relationships, geographic footprint, team)

**Adjacent Players**
- Companies in adjacent markets that could expand into the target's space

**Vertical Integrators**
- Customers or suppliers that could integrate vertically
- Rationale: Supply chain control, margin capture, strategic lock-in

**Platform Builders**
- Large companies building a platform in the space through M&A
- Rationale: Tuck-in acquisition, fill capability gap

For each strategic buyer, assess:

| Buyer | Sector | Revenue | Strategic Fit | Financial Capacity | M&A Track Record | Likelihood | Priority |
|-------|--------|---------|--------------|-------------------|------------------|------------|----------|
| | | | High/Med/Low | | Active/Moderate/None | | A/B/C |

### datapack-builder

---
name: datapack-builder
description: Build professional financial services data packs from various sources including CIMs, offering memorandums, SEC filings, web search, or MCP servers. Extract, normalize, and standardize financial data into investment committee-ready Excel workbooks with consistent structure, proper formatting, and documented assumptions. Use for M&A due diligence, private equity analysis, investment committee materials, and standardizing financial reporting across portfolio companies.

---

# Financial Data Pack Builder

Build professional, standardized financial data packs for private equity, investment banking, and asset management. Transform financial data from CIMs, offering memorandums, SEC filings, web search, or MCP server access into polished Excel workbooks ready for investment committee review.

**Important:** Use the xlsx skill for all Excel file creation and manipulation throughout this workflow.

## CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS

Every data pack must achieve these standards. Failure on any point makes the deliverable unusable.

### 1. Data Accuracy (Zero Tolerance for Errors)
- Trace every number to source document with page reference
- Use formula-based calculations exclusively (no hardcoded values)
- Cross-check subtotals and totals for internal consistency
- Verify balance sheet balances: Assets = Liabilities + Equity
- Confirm cash flow ties to balance sheet changes

### 2. ESSENTIAL RULES

**RULE 1: Financial data (measuring money) → Currency format with $**
Triggers: Revenue, Sales, Income, EBITDA, Profit, Loss, Cost, Expense, Cash, Debt, Assets, Liabilities, Equity, Capex
Format: $#,##0.0 for millions, $#,##0 for thousands
Negatives: $(123.0) NOT -$123

**RULE 2: Operational data (counting things) → Number format, NO $**
Triggers: Units, Stores, Locations, Employees, Customers, Square Feet, Properties, Headcount
Format: #,##0 with commas

---

# Populating Investment Banking Pitch Deck Templates

## Reference Files

**Read all reference files at task start before beginning any work.** These contain critical patterns and anti-patterns that will affect your approach. Do not wait until you encounter issues.

| File | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| [`formatting-standards.md`](reference/formatting-standards.md) | Text, bullets, tables, charts, alignment |
| [`slide-templates.md`](reference/slide-templates.md) | Content mapping guidance for common slide types |
| [`xml-reference.md`](reference/xml-reference.md) | PowerPoint XML patterns for tables, shapes, arrows |
| [`calculation-standards.md`](reference/calculation-standards.md) | Financial formulas for verification (CAGR, consensus) |

---

## Workflow Decision Tree

**What type of task is this?**

```
┌─ Populating empty template with source data?
│  └─→ Follow "Template Population Workflow" below
│
├─ Editing existing populated slides?
│  └─→ Extract current content, modify, revalidate
│
└─ Fixing formatting issues on existing slides?
   └─→ See "Common Failures" table, apply targeted fixes
```

---

## ⚠️ Critical Rendering Limitation

**LibreOffice is used for validation but DOES NOT render PowerPoint files accurately.** It will mangle fonts, gradients, shape positions, text wrapping, and some table formatting.

**What this means:** A slide that passes visual validation in LibreOffice may still have issues in Microsoft PowerPoint. The validation loop catches structural issues (missing content, broken tables, placeholder formatting retained) but **cannot** catch

Triggers on "process letter", "bid instructions", "IOI letter", "bid procedures", "final round letter", or "management meeting invite".
---

# Process Letter

## Workflow

### Step 1: Determine Letter Type

- **Initial process letter**: Sent with teaser/CIM to outline the process and IOI requirements
- **IOI instructions**: Specific requirements for first-round indications of interest

- **Management meeting invitation**: Logistics for in-person management presentations

### Step 2: Initial Process Letter / IOI Instructions

- Date, deal code name
- "Confidential"
- Addressed to prospective buyer

**Sections:**

1. **Introduction**: Brief overview of the opportunity and the seller's objectives
2. **Process Overview**: Timeline, key dates, expected number of rounds
3. **IOI Requirements**: What to include in the initial indication:
   - Proposed valuation range (enterprise value)
   - Consideration form (cash, stock, earnout, rollover)
   - Financing sources and certainty
   - Key due diligence requirements
   - Indicative timeline to close
   - Any conditions or contingencies
   - Brief description of the buyer and strategic rationale
4. **Submission Details**: Where to send, deadline (date and time), format

### strip-profile

---
name: fsi-strip-profile
description: |
  Creates professional investment banking strip profiles (company profiles) for pitch books, deal materials, and client presentations. Generates 1-4 information-dense slides with quadrant layouts, charts, and tables.
---

## Workflow

### 1. Clarify Requirements
- **Ask the user**: Single-slide or multi-slide (3-4 slides)?
- **Ask the user**: Any specific focus areas or topics to emphasize?
- **Only after user confirms**, proceed to research

### 2. Research & Planning
**Data Sources:**
- **Primary**: Company filings (BamSEC, SEC EDGAR - "Item 1. Business", MD&A), investor presentations, corporate website
- **Market data**: Bloomberg, FactSet, CapIQ (price, shares, market cap, net debt, EV, ownership)
- **Estimates**: FactSet/CapIQ consensus for NTM revenue, EBITDA, EPS
- **News**: Press releases from last 90 days, M&A activity, guidance changes

**Required Metrics:**
- **Financials**: Revenue, EBITDA, margins (%), EPS, FCF for ±3 years
- **Valuation**: Market Cap, EV, EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E multiples
- **Growth**: YoY growth rates (%)
- **Ownership**: Top 5 shareholders with % ownership
- **Segments**: Product mix and/or geographic mix (% breakdown)

**Normalization:**
- Convert all amounts to consistent currency
- Scale consistently ($mm or $bn throughout, not mixed)

**Before Building:**
- Print outline to chat with 4-5 bullet points per item (actual numbers, no placeholders)
- Print style choices: fonts, colors (hex codes), chart types for each data set
- Get user alignment: "Does this outline and visual strategy align with your vision?"

### 3. Slide-by-Slide Creation
**CRITICAL: You MUST create ONE slide at a time and get user approval before proceeding to the next slide.**

**For EACH slide:**
1. Create ONLY this one slide with PptxGenJS
2. **MANDATORY: Convert to image for review** - You MUST convert slides to images so you can visually verify them:
   ```bash
   soffice --headless --convert-to pdf presentation.
