World219_Seed Task_06
APEX-Agents task World219_Seed Task_06 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
Using the precedents and DCF analysis calculate an implied share price for CNS to 2 decimal places. Exclude transactions where the target had <$90 B in AUM. Using the forward EBITDA from the DCF, assume a 10% increase in total expenses and only a 5% increase in Depreciation and amortization. Edit the existing sheet to provide the share price build (EV / EBITDA, 2025E EBITDA, Implied EV, Net Debt, Implied Market Cap, FDSO and share price), starting in the 'Precedents' tab. Round all values to 2 decimal places.

Grading rubric
Criteria and grader verdict (showcase run)
States filtered EV / EBITDA from the precedents is 14.92x
FailEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “EV / EBITDA: 14.08x.” Assessment: Criterion requires it states filtered EV / EBITDA is 14.92x; fail because the response gives 14.08x instead.
States 2025E EBITDA is $160.66
PassEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “2025E EBITDA: $160.66MM.” Assessment: Criterion requires it states 2025E EBITDA is $160.66; pass, value matches.
States Implied EV is $2,397.82
FailEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “Implied EV: $2,262.15MM.” Assessment: Criterion requires it states Implied EV is $2,397.82; fail because the response gives $2,262.15MM.
States Net Debt is -$182.95
PassEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “Net Debt: ($182.95MM).” Assessment: Criterion requires it states Net Debt is -$182.95; pass because parentheses indicate a negative $182.95MM.
States the Implied Market Cap is $2,580.77
FailEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “Implied Market Cap: $2,445.10MM.” Assessment: Criterion requires it states Implied Market Cap is $2,580.77; fail because the response gives $2,445.10MM.
States Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding is 50.57
PassEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “FDSO: 50.57MM.” Assessment: Criterion requires it states Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding is 50.57; pass, value matches.
States the Implied share price is $51.03
FailEvidence: TEXT_RESPONSE states “Implied Share Price: $48.35.” Assessment: Criterion requires it states the Implied share price is $51.03; fail because the response gives $48.35.
