SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about event-driven-analyzer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I calculate expected return and probability trees for merger arbitrage scenarios?

To calculate expected return for merger arbitrage, you build a probability-weighted scenario tree separating deal close, break, and timing outcomes. This approach automates deterministic event math for cash spreads, hedge ratios, and expected value while validating probability sums to eliminate manual spreadsheet errors.

How do I underwrite special situations like spin-offs and activism without manual spreadsheet errors?

Underwriting special situations like spin-offs and activism requires deterministic event math and strict separation of facts, assumptions, and judgments. This process applies tailored playbooks for over twelve event types, enforces primary-source discipline from regulatory filings, and flags missing inputs to prevent overprecision.

What is the best way to structure event-driven investing analysis for a portfolio manager?

The best way to structure event-driven investing analysis for a portfolio manager is to deliver PM-calibrated output formatting. This includes generating standalone HTML reports or dashboard payloads containing source-validated fact packs, probability trees, trade expression, monitoring plans, and red-team critiques.

Can I use probability modeling to evaluate contingent value rights (CVR) present values in public equity?

Yes, probability modeling can evaluate contingent value rights (CVR) present values in public equity. The analysis applies deterministic event math to calculate CVR present values, build scenario expected value frameworks, and compute market-implied close probabilities while enforcing primary-source discipline.

Does event-driven analysis require separating facts, assumptions, and judgments from press commentary?

Yes, event-driven analysis requires separating facts, assumptions, and judgments from press commentary to avoid overprecision. This strict source hierarchy prioritizes primary regulatory filings over press commentary, ensuring that scenario math and probability trees rely on validated facts rather than speculative narratives.

When do I need trade expression and monitoring plans for litigation and regulatory catalysts?

You need trade expression and monitoring plans for litigation and regulatory catalysts when underwriting dated public-equity special situations. This analysis automates scenario math for event-driven positions, generating gating items, red-team critiques, and PM-calibrated recommendations to track regulatory approvals and litigation outcomes.
