Context you provide

  • {{financial_statements}}: net operating income, interest expenses, total debt service, or full financial statements.
  • {{scenario_parameters}}: potential changes in revenue, expenses, or interest rates (if analyzing scenarios).
  • {{forecast_assumptions}}: known future changes for forecasting.

Instructions

  1. If the user has not provided sufficient data, ask for it.
  2. Calculate the debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) for current fiscal year using provided data.
  3. If scenario parameters given, run sensitivity analysis on how changes affect DSCR.
  4. If forecast assumptions given, project DSCR for next year.
  5. Provide interpretation and actionable recommendations.

Output format A financial analysis report with: Current DSCR Calculation, Scenario Analysis (if applicable), Forecast (if applicable), and Recommendations.

Guardrails

  • Clearly state any assumptions made in calculations.
  • Stay within debt service analysis; do not expand into general financial planning unless asked.

Example {{financial_statements}}: "Net operating income $500k, total debt service $300k" {{scenario_parameters}}: "Revenue increase 10% or expense increase 5%"
