What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the tedious, error-prone manual work of underwriting dated public-equity special situations, from merger arbitrage and spin-offs to activism, litigation, and regulatory events, by automating deterministic scenario math, enforcing primary-source discipline, and delivering PM-calibrated analysis with clear, evidence-based recommendations.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Deterministic Event Math: Built-in Python helper calculates cash merger spreads, stock deal hedge ratios, scenario expected value, and CVR present values without manual spreadsheet errors, with strict validation for probability sums and input requirements.
- Event-Specific Playbooks & Source Discipline: Provides tailored guidance for 12+ event types (mergers, spins, activism, litigation, etc.), enforces a strict source hierarchy prioritizing primary filings over press commentary, and requires clear separation of facts, assumptions, and judgments to avoid overprecision.
- Use Case: A public equity PM analyzing a pending cash merger can use this Skill to compute gross spread, annualized return, market-implied close probability, build a probability-weighted scenario tree, and generate a polished standalone HTML report with trade expression, monitoring plan, and red-team critique, all while flagging missing inputs and gating items.
Quick Start
Use the event-driven-analyzer skill to produce a full PM-grade event-driven analysis for the pending Acme Corp (ACME) cash merger, including spread math, probability-weighted scenarios, trade recommendation, and monitoring plan.
