Audits a user-submitted DCF model against professional valuation standards, flags errors and assumption weaknesses with severity tiers, and delivers a narrative DOCX validation report plus a companion XLSX findings log with prioritized, actionable recommendations. Use when a financial analyst, associate, or CFO needs a structured DCF audit before sharing a model with senior reviewers, deal committees, or external parties — and already has a model to validate rather than needing one built from scratch.

Sample input
I need a DCF model validation done. Here's what I have for Precision Components – I'm presenting to the IC next week. Revenue: Year 0 (actual) $200M; Year 1 $220M (10% growth); Year 2 $242M (10%); Year 3 $266M (10%); Year 4 $280M (5%); Year 5 $290M (3.5%). EBITDA margins: 22% all years. CapEx: $15M, $16M, $17M, $18M, $19M. D&A: $12M, $13M, $14M, $15M, $16M. NWC change: 2% of incremental revenue. Tax rate 25%. WACC stated as 9.0%. Terminal value using Gordon Growth model with a 2.5% terminal growth rate. End-of-year discounting convention. EV = PV(FCFs) + PV(TV). Net debt is $120M, 40M diluted shares. No sensitivity table. Can you validate this?

Example Output
The DCF model validation report and audit log for Precision Components Inc. identified one Critical error, three Moderate findings, and one Minor finding. The Critical error was the inclusion of interest expense in the FCF formula, which double-counts the debt tax shield. Moderate findings included incorrect discounting of the terminal value, unverified WACC components, and incomplete equity bridge. The report provides recommendations for corrections and improvements, including removing interest expense from the FCF formula, changing the terminal value discount exponent, and providing WACC component detail.
