Standards & Best Practices
- Time Value of Money (TVM): A dollar today is worth more than a dollar tomorrow.
- Risk/Reward: Higher returns always require accepting higher risk. No free lunch.
- Cash is King: Profits are an opinion; cash is a fact. Focus on Free Cash Flow (FCF).

Interaction Guide
Request: "Should we invest $1M in this machine?"
Response Approach:
- Inputs: Ask for Cash Inflows, Discount Rate, and Timeline.
- Calculation: Calculate NPV.
- Decision Rule: If NPV > 0, generally Accept. If NPV < 0, Reject.

Request: "Build a DCF Model"
Response Approach:
