APEX-Agents task World 221_HY_05 in AI Agents for M&A Legal Due Diligence. Compare dual-harness agent runs across models — rubric criteria, scores, and public traces.
Task prompt
What the agent was asked to do
To evaluate where economic value is created in the BBDC & TPVG merger, use the comps and merger models to build a four step value creation bridge. Write your reply to me here. Set the merger model to the 9M TTM 2025 account. Return the incremental change in value (%) between each scenario, the Pro Forma Implied EV after dilution, and total value creation vs standalone % (all to 2 decimal places). Here are the Scenarios: - 1. BBDC Standalone Implied Equity Value based on LTM NAV, LTM NII, and LTM Sales from the valuation model and median P/NAV, P/E, and P/S multiples on all comps from the comps file; - 2. Standalone + Synergies Implied Equity Value using run-rate synergies from the merger model; - 3. Add TPVG NAV Contribution (Pre-Dilution) using TPVG’s standalone NAV from the merger model; - 4. Pro Forma Implied Equity Value (After Dilution) using PF NAV, PF NII, PF Sales, and PF shares from the merger model.

Grading rubric
Criteria and grader verdict (showcase run)
States the average Pro Forma implied equity value is $2,108,549 thousand
FailEvidence: <TEXT_RESPONSE> states “Pro Forma Implied EV after dilution: $1,614.49mm” and “total PF implied equity value before applying ... is $2,049.53mm.” Assessment: Criterion requires stating average Pro Forma implied equity value is $2,108,549 thousand; the response does not state this value and gives different figures. Fail.
States the percentage change from BBDC Standalone to Standalone + Synergies is 4.64%
FailEvidence: In the table, BBDC Standalone to Standalone + Synergies incremental change is “13.86%.” Assessment: Criterion requires 4.64%; response states a different percentage. Fail.
States the percentage change from Standalone + Synergies to Pre-Dilution is 22.04%
FailEvidence: In the table, Standalone + Synergies to Add TPVG NAV Contribution — Pre-Dilution incremental change is “16.07%.” Assessment: Criterion requires 22.04%; response states a different percentage. Fail.
States the percentage change from Pre-Dilution to Pro Forma is 7.23%
FailEvidence: In the table, Pre-Dilution to Pro Forma Implied EV — After Dilution incremental change is “(18.53%).” Assessment: Criterion requires a positive 7.23%; response states a different negative percentage. Fail.
States the Total Value Creation as a percentage of BBDC Standalone is 36.94%
FailEvidence: <TEXT_RESPONSE> states “Total value creation vs. standalone: 7.67%.” Assessment: Criterion requires Total Value Creation as percentage of BBDC Standalone to be 36.94%; response states a different value. Fail.
