# DCF Spreadsheet Integration - COMPLETE GUIDE

**Built On:** Your existing spreadsheet infrastructure ✅
**Status:** Ready to use with minimal setup
**Date:** January 22, 2026

---

## What You Now Have

### ✅ Complete Integration

Your DCF system now connects to your **existing** spreadsheet infrastructure:

1. **DCF Session** (`dcfSessions` table) - Source of truth for parameters & results
2. **Spreadsheet Adapter** (`dcfSpreadsheetAdapter.ts`) - Converts DCF → spreadsheet cells
3. **Agent Tool** (`createDCFSpreadsheet.ts`) - Fast Agent creates DCF spreadsheets
4. **Existing Spreadsheet UI** - Already built spreadsheet viewer/editor

## How It Works

### Architecture

```
DCF Session (Source of Truth)
       ↓
[dcfSpreadsheetAdapter]
       ↓
Spreadsheet Cells (View)
       ↓
SpreadsheetView UI (react-spreadsheet)
```

### Data Flow

**1. Create:**
```typescript
// User asks agent
"Build DCF for NVDA"

// Agent calls tool
createDCFSpreadsheet({ ticker: "NVDA", scenario: "base" })

// Creates DCF session
sessionId: "session-NVDA-1737582800000"

// Generates spreadsheet
spreadsheetId: "k12xyz..."
cells: [
  { row: 0, col: 0, value: "NVDA DCF Model" },
  { row: 6, col: 1, value: "10.0", comment: "Year 1 Growth %" },
  { row: 22, col: 1, value: "18.35", type: "number" }, // Fair value
  ...
]
```

**2. Edit (User):**
```typescript
// User edits cell at row 6, col 1 (Year 1 Growth)
SpreadsheetView → onChange(row: 6, col: 1, newValue: "15.0")

// Sync to DCF
syncCellToDCFSession({
  sessionId: "session-NVDA-...",
  row: 6,
  col: 1,
  newValue: "15.0"
})

// Maps to field
field: "revenueGrowthRates[0]"
newValue: 0.15 (converts 15.0% → 0.15)

// Updates DCF
updateParameter({ field: "revenueGrowthRates[0]", newValue: 0.15 })

// Recalculates
→ Fair value: $18.35 → $20.42

// Syncs back to spreadsheet
syncDCFToSpreadsheet({ sessionId, spreadsheetId })
→ Updates row 22, col 1 to "20.42"
```

**3. Edit (Agent):**
```typescript
// User types in chat
"Make it more conservative"

// Agent calls
agentEditParameters({
  sessionId: "session-NVDA-...",
  userInstruction: "Make it more conservative"
})

// Agent proposes edits
[
  { field: "revenueGrowthRates[0]", newValue: 0.08 },
  { field: "terminalGrowth", newValue: 0.025 },
  { field: "beta", newValue: 1.85 }
]

// DCF recalculates
→ Fair value: $20.42 → $16.20

// Spreadsheet auto-updates
→ Cells refresh with new values
```

## Spreadsheet Layout

### Example NVDA DCF Spreadsheet

| Row | Item | Value | Unit |
|-----|------|-------|------|
| 0 | **NVDA DCF Model** | | |
| 1 | | | |
| 2 | Item | Value | Unit |
| 3 | **INPUTS** | | |
| 4 | | | |
| 5 | Base Revenue | 60,922 | $ millions |
| 6 | Year 1 Growth | **10.0** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 7 | Year 2 Growth | **8.0** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 8 | Year 3 Growth | **6.0** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 9 | Year 4 Growth | **5.0** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 10 | Year 5 Growth | **4.0** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 11 | Terminal Growth | **3.0** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 12 | | | |
| 13 | **WACC Components** | | |

| 15 | Beta | **1.05** | 🔹 Editable |
| 16 | Market Risk Premium | **7.50** | % 🔹 Editable |
| 17 | | | |
| 18 | **OUTPUTS (Calculated)** | | |
| 19 | WACC | 11.38 | % ✅ Auto-calc |
| 20 | Enterprise Value | 161 | $ billions ✅ Auto-calc |
| 21 | Equity Value | 136 | $ billions ✅ Auto-calc |
| 22 | Fair Value per Share | **18.35** | $ ✅ Auto-calc |

**Legend:**
- 🔹 **Editable cells** - User can edit, triggers recalculation
- ✅ **Calculated cells** - Auto-updates when inputs change

---

## Setup Instructions

### Step 1: Register Agent Tool

Add to Fast Agent's tool registry:

```typescript
// convex/tools/meta/seedToolRegistry.ts or similar
import { createDCFSpreadsheet } from "../domains/agents/tools/createDCFSpreadsheet";

// Add to tools array
{
  name: "createDCFSpreadsheet",
  tool: createDCFSpreadsheet,
  category: "financial",
  tags: ["dcf", "valuation", "spreadsheet", "modeling"],
}
```

### Step 2: Add Schema Field (Optional)

Add `spreadsheetId` to `dcfSessions` table:

```typescript
// convex/schema.ts - dcfSessions table
dcfSessions: defineTable({
  sessionId: v.string(),
  // ... existing fields ...

  // NEW: Link to spreadsheet
  spreadsheetId: v.optional(v.id("spreadsheets")),

  createdAt: v.number(),
  updatedAt: v.number(),
})
```

### Step 3: Test It!

```bash
# In Fast Agent Panel
User: "Build a DCF model for NVIDIA"

# Expected response
Agent: ✅ Created DCF model for NVDA
       Spreadsheet ID: k12xyz...
       Cells: 24 cells populated

       [Shows details about the model]
```

---

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Create Basic DCF

```
User: "Analyze NVDA's valuation using a DCF model"

Agent:
1. Calls createDCFSpreadsheet({ ticker: "NVDA", scenario: "base" })
2. Creates session + spreadsheet
3. Returns: "Created NVDA DCF model. Fair value: $18.35 vs market $140.00 (87% overvalued)"
```

### Example 2: Edit Assumptions

```
User: "Make Year 1 growth 15% instead of 10%"

Agent:
1. Calls agentEditParameters({ instruction: "Set Year 1 growth to 15%" })
2. Updates revenueGrowthRates[0] = 0.15
3. DCF recalculates → Fair value: $20.42
4. Spreadsheet auto-updates
5. Returns: "Updated Y1 growth to 15%. Fair value increased to $20.42 (+11.3%)"
```

### Example 3: Scenario Analysis

```
User: "Create bull and bear cases for TSLA"

Agent:
1. Calls createDCFSpreadsheet({ ticker: "TSLA", scenario: "base" })
2. Calls createDCFSpreadsheet({ ticker: "TSLA", scenario: "bull" })
3. Calls createDCFSpreadsheet({ ticker: "TSLA", scenario: "bear" })
4. Returns comparison table with 3 fair values
```

### Example 4: Direct Cell Editing

```
User clicks on cell (row 6, col 1) in SpreadsheetView
Changes value from "10.0" to "12.5"
Presses Enter

→ syncCellToDCFSession() called
→ Updates revenueGrowthRates[0] = 0.125
→ DCF recalculates
→ Fair value updates from $18.35 → $19.28
→ Cell (row 22, col 1) auto-refreshes
```

## API Reference

### `generateSpreadsheetFromDCF`

**Purpose:** Convert DCF session → spreadsheet cells

```typescript
const { spreadsheetId, cellsCreated } = await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.financial.dcfSpreadsheetAdapter.generateSpreadsheetFromDCF,
  {
    sessionId: "session-NVDA-1737582800000",
  }
);

// Returns:
// spreadsheetId: "k12xyz..."
// cellsCreated: 24
```

### `syncCellToDCFSession`

**Purpose:** User edits spreadsheet cell → update DCF session

```typescript
const { updated, field, recalculated } = await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.financial.dcfSpreadsheetAdapter.syncCellToDCFSession,
  {
    sessionId: "session-NVDA-...",
    row: 6,
    col: 1,
    newValue: "15.0",
  }
);

// Returns:
// updated: true
// field: "revenueGrowthRates[0]"
// recalculated: true
```

### `syncDCFToSpreadsheet`

**Purpose:** DCF session changes → update spreadsheet cells

```typescript
const { cellsUpdated } = await ctx.runAction(
  internal.domains.financial.dcfSpreadsheetAdapter.syncDCFToSpreadsheet,
  {
    sessionId: "session-NVDA-...",
    spreadsheetId: "k12xyz...",
  }
);

// Returns:

---

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Agent doesn't have the tool

**Solution:** Register tool in Fast Agent's tool registry (Step 1 above)

### Issue: Spreadsheet doesn't update after edit

**Solution:** Ensure `syncCellToDCFSession` is called on cell change

### Issue: Cell mapping is wrong

**Solution:** Check `mapCellToField()` function - row numbers may need adjustment if layout changes

### Issue: DCF session not found

**Solution:** Ensure session exists before calling adapter functions
