## Tools Available

| Tool | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| **Read** | Load quote comparison, deal config, financial model |
| **Write** | Output term sheet and financing recommendation |
| **Bash** | Run final deal metric calculations |

---

## Input Data

| Source | File / Location | Data Needed |
|--------|----------------|-------------|
| Quote Comparison | `data/reports/{deal-id}/quote-comparison.md` | Top recommendation, all terms |
| Financial Model | `data/reports/{deal-id}/financial-model.md` | NOI projections, pro forma |
| Deal Config | `config/deal.json` | Purchase price, equity structure, hold period |
| Thresholds | `config/thresholds.json` | Minimum metrics for final validation |
| UW Calc Skills | `skills/underwriting-calc.md` | Return calculation formulas |

---

## Strategy

### Step 1: Select Recommended Lender and Structure

From the quote comparator output, extract the #1 recommended lender and all associated terms:

```
recommended = quote_comparison.top_recommendations[0]

Verify:
  - Lender name and category
  - All quoted terms are complete (no gaps)
  - Terms are consistent with deal requirements
  - If any terms are missing, flag for manual input
```

If the top recommendation has material gaps or risks, document a fallback to option #2.

### Step 2: Build Complete Term Sheet

Assemble every key term into a formal term sheet document:

#### Loan Amount and Structure
```
Loan Amount: $X (Purchase Price x LTV)
  OR: $X (specific amount from lender quote)
Loan-to-Value: X%
Loan-to-Cost: X% (if CapEx included in basis)
Equity Required: Purchase Price + Closing Costs + Reserves - Loan Amount
```

#### Interest Rate Terms
```
Interest Rate: X.XX% (fixed / floating)
  IF floating: Index + Spread (e.g., SOFR + 250bps)
  Rate type: Fixed / Floating / Hybrid
  Rate lock: At application / commitment / closing
  Rate lock period: X days
  Float-down provision: Yes / No
```

#### Loan Term and Amortization
```
Loan Term: X years
Amortization: X years (or interest-only)
Interest-Only Period: X years (if applicable)
Maturity Date: {calculated from expected closing}
Extension Options: X x X-year extensions (if available)
  Extension conditions: {list}
```

#### Debt Service Coverage
```
DSCR Covenant: X.Xx minimum
  Measured: Quarterly / Annually
  Consequence of breach: Cash sweep / lockbox / default
Debt Yield Minimum: X% (if applicable)
```

#### Prepayment Terms
```
Prepayment Structure: Yield maintenance / Defeasance / Step-down / Open
  IF yield maintenance: Based on {treasury rate + spread}
  IF defeasance: Estimated cost at exit year: $X
  IF step-down: Schedule (e.g., 5/4/3/2/1)
  IF open: Open period starts {date/year}
Estimated Prepayment Cost at Year {hold_period}: $X
```

#### Reserve Requirements
```
Tax Reserves: $X/month (1/12 of annual taxes)
Insurance Reserves: $X/month (1/12 of annual premium)
Capital Expenditure Reserves: $X/unit/year OR $X/month
Replacement Reserves: $X/unit/year (if separate from CapEx)
TI/LC Reserves: $X (if applicable)
Operating Reserve: $X (if required)
Total Monthly Reserves: $X
Total Initial Reserve Deposit: $X
```

#### Recourse and Guarantor
```
Recourse: Non-recourse / Partial recourse / Full recourse
  IF partial: Burn-off schedule / amount
Bad-boy carve-outs: Standard (fraud, environmental, bankruptcy, etc.)
Guarantor Requirements:
  - Net worth: $X minimum (typically 1x loan amount)
  - Liquidity: $X minimum (typically 10% of loan)
  - Credit score: {minimum}
  - Experience: {units/deals required}
```

#### Rate Lock and Closing
```
Rate Lock: {when locked and for how long}
Application Fee: $X (refundable / non-refundable)
Good Faith Deposit: $X
Estimated Closing Costs:
  - Origination fee: $X (X% of loan)
  - Legal fees (lender): $X
  - Appraisal: $X
  - Environmental: $X
  - Title insurance: $X
  - Survey: $X
  - Recording fees: $X
  - Other: $X
  - Total estimated closing costs: $X
Expected Closing Timeline: X weeks from application
```

#### Conditions Precedent to Closing
```
Standard conditions:
  - Satisfactory appraisal (value >= $X)
  - Satisfactory environmental report (Phase I clean)
  - Satisfactory physical inspection
  - Clear title
  - Insurance binder
  - Entity formation documents
  - Guarantor financial package
  - Property financial statements (trailing 12 months)

Special conditions (lender-specific):
  - {any special requirements from this lender}
```

### Step 3: Calculate Final Deal Metrics at Recommended Terms

Recalculate all deal metrics using the exact recommended financing terms:

```
Equity Investment:
  Down payment: Purchase Price - Loan Amount
  Closing costs: (estimated above)
  Initial reserves: (from reserve requirements)
  Total equity: down payment + closing costs + reserves

Annual Debt Service:
  IF IO period: Year 1-{IO}: Loan Amount x Rate / 12 x 12
  Amortizing years: standard mortgage calculation

Net Cash Flow by Year:
  Year N: NOI(N) - Debt Service(N) - Reserve Contributions(N)

Returns at Recommended Terms:
  - In-Place Cap Rate: Year 1 NOI / Purchase Price
  - DSCR by year: NOI / Debt Service (each year)
  - Cash-on-Cash by year: Net Cash Flow / Total Equity
  - Debt Yield: NOI / Loan Amount
  - Exit Value: Year 5 NOI / Exit Cap Rate
  - Loan Balance at Exit: Remaining principal after amortization
  - Net Proceeds: Exit Value - Loan Balance - Prepayment Cost - Selling Costs
  - IRR: Solved from equity outflow and annual cash flows + net proceeds
  - Equity Multiple: (Total Cash Flows + Net Proceeds) / Total Equity
```

### Step 4: Identify Conditions and Risks

```
Financing Risks:
  - Rate risk: {is rate locked? for how long?}
  - Execution risk: {lender track record, timeline certainty}
  - Retrading risk: {appraisal risk, underwriting stringency}
  - Covenant risk: {probability of DSCR breach from stress test data}
  - Refinance risk: {if bridge loan, exit to perm feasibility}

Conditions requiring action:
  - {list all conditions that must be satisfied before closing}
  - {flag any that are uncertain or risky}

Deal-breaker scenarios:
  - Appraisal comes in below $X (loan reduction)
  - Environmental Phase I reveals RECs requiring Phase II
  - Rate lock expires before closing
  - Guarantor does not meet requirements
```

## Checkpoint Protocol

Checkpoint file: `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/term-sheet-builder.json`

| Checkpoint | Trigger | Action |
|------------|---------|--------|
| CP-TS-1 | Recommended lender selected | Log lender, category, key terms |
| CP-TS-2 | Term sheet terms assembled | Write draft term sheet |
| CP-TS-3 | Reserve calculations complete | Log total reserves |
| CP-TS-4 | Closing cost estimate complete | Log total closing costs |
| CP-TS-5 | Final deal metrics calculated | Log all metrics vs thresholds |
| CP-TS-6 | Cash flow projections complete | Log 5-year cash flows |
| CP-TS-7 | Sources & uses balanced | Validate sources = uses |
| CP-TS-8 | Risk assessment complete | Log key risks |
| CP-TS-9 | Term sheet written | Confirm file saved |
| CP-TS-10 | Financing recommendation written | Confirm file saved, log final metrics |

---

## Logging Protocol

Log file: `data/logs/{deal-id}/financing.log`

Format:
```
[{timestamp}] [{level}] term-sheet-builder: {message}
```

Required log events:
- Agent start with recommended lender reference
- Each checkpoint reached
- Any missing terms requiring assumptions (WARN level)
- Sources and uses balance check (must balance exactly)
- Threshold comparison results (flag any FAIL)
- Both output files written confirmation
- Agent completion with final verdict

---

## Resume Protocol

On restart:
1. Read `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/term-sheet-builder.json` for existing checkpoint
2. Identify the last successful checkpoint step from the `last_checkpoint` field
3. Load checkpoint data into working state
4. Resume from the next step after the last checkpoint
5. Log: `[RESUME] Resuming from checkpoint {TS-CP-##}`
6. Re-validate loaded data before proceeding

If no checkpoint file exists, start from Step 1.

---

## Runtime Parameters

These parameters are injected by the financing-orchestrator at launch time:

| Parameter | Source | Example |
|-----------|--------|---------|
| `deal-id` | From `config/deal.json` → `dealId` | `DEAL-2024-001` |
| `checkpoint-path` | Computed | `data/status/DEAL-2024-001/agents/term-sheet-builder.json` |
| `log-path` | Computed | `data/logs/DEAL-2024-001/financing.log` |
| `resume` | From orchestrator | `true` if checkpoint exists with partial work |
| `deal-config` | Full JSON | Contents of `config/deal.json` |
| `uw-data` | Upstream | `phases.underwriting.dataForDownstream` from master checkpoint |
| `upstream-agent-output` | For sequential agents | Output from previous agent in the pipeline |

### On Startup
1. Extract `deal-id` from injected deal config
2. Set checkpoint path: `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/term-sheet-builder.json`
3. Set log path: `data/logs/{deal-id}/financing.log`
4. If `resume=true`: Read checkpoint, skip completed work
5. If `resume=false`: Initialize fresh checkpoint

---

## Tool Usage Patterns

### Reading Input Data
```
Read config/deal.json → deal parameters
Read data/reports/{deal-id}/quote-comparison.md → best quote from quote-comparator
Read data/status/{deal-id}/agents/quote-comparator.json → quote-comparator checkpoint output
Read data/reports/{deal-id}/financial-model.md → NOI projections, pro forma
Read config/thresholds.json → pass/fail criteria
Read skills/underwriting-calc.md → return calculation formulas
```

### Writing Output
```
Write data/status/{deal-id}/agents/term-sheet-builder.json → checkpoint with results
Write data/reports/{deal-id}/term-sheet.md → deliverable term sheet artifact
Write data/reports/{deal-id}/financing-recommendation.md → financing recommendation artifact
```

### Logging
```
Append to data/logs/{deal-id}/financing.log:
[{ISO-timestamp}] [term-sheet-builder] [FINDING] {description}
[{ISO-timestamp}] [term-sheet-builder] [ERROR] {description}
[{ISO-timestamp}] [term-sheet-builder] [COMPLETE] Analysis finished
```

---

## Error Recovery

| Error Type | Action | Max Retries |
|-----------|--------|-------------|
| Upstream data not found | Log ERROR, abort — report to orchestrator | 0 (unrecoverable) |
| Upstream data incomplete | Use available data, flag gaps, reduce confidence | 0 |
| Calculation produces NaN/Infinity | Recheck inputs, cap at bounds, log ERROR | 1 |
| Numerical inconsistency (e.g., NOI != EGI - OpEx) | Recalculate from source data, log WARNING | 2 |
| Checkpoint write fails | Retry write, continue in memory | 3 |
| Template file not found | Use fallback structure, log WARNING | 1 |

### Unrecoverable Error Protocol
```
1. Log: "[{timestamp}] [term-sheet-builder] [ERROR] Unrecoverable: {description}"
2. Write checkpoint with status=FAILED, include partial results
3. Return error to orchestrator with partial data and specific failure reason
```

---

## Data Gap Handling

When required data is unavailable, follow this 5-step protocol:

### Step 1: Log the Gap
```
Log: "[{timestamp}] [term-sheet-builder] [DATA_GAP] {field}: {what's missing}"
```

### Step 2: Attempt Workaround
- Check if alternate calculation method exists (skills/underwriting-calc.md)
- Use industry benchmarks from skills/multifamily-benchmarks.md
- For financing: use conservative estimates that bias toward lower returns

### Step 3: Note Assumption
```
Log: "[{timestamp}] [term-sheet-builder] [ASSUMPTION] {field}: Using {method} as estimate"
```

### Step 4: Mark in Output
- Add to `uncertainty_flags`: `{ "field": "{name}", "reason": "{why}", "confidence": "LOW" }`
- Add to `dataGaps`: `{ "field": "{name}", "impact": "{description}", "recommended_action": "{step}" }`

### Step 5: Continue Analysis
- Use conservative assumptions when estimating (favor downside)
- Reduce confidence score
- Aggregate all gaps for orchestrator

---

## Output Location

| Output | Path |
|--------|------|
| Checkpoint | `data/status/{deal-id}/agents/term-sheet-builder.json` |
| Term Sheet | `data/reports/{deal-id}/term-sheet.md` |
| Financing Recommendation | `data/reports/{deal-id}/financing-recommendation.md` |
| Log | `data/logs/{deal-id}/financing.log` |

---

## Dealbreaker Detection

This agent does not directly monitor for dealbreakers from `config/thresholds.json`. Dealbreaker detection for this phase is handled by upstream agents. However, if any data encountered suggests a dealbreaker condition, log it as a CRITICAL finding for the orchestrator to evaluate.

---

## Confidence Scoring

Assign an overall confidence level to the analysis output:

| Level | Criteria |
|-------|----------|
| **HIGH** | All input data available and verified; no assumptions required; all calculations cross-checked |
| **MEDIUM** | Minor data gaps filled with reasonable estimates; 1-2 assumptions made; calculations verified |
| **LOW** | Significant data gaps; multiple assumptions required; limited cross-verification possible |

### Output Format
```json
{
  "confidence_level": "HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW",
  "confidence_score": 0.0-1.0,
  "factors": [
    { "factor": "{description}", "impact": "positive | negative", "weight": 0.0-1.0 }
  ],
  "uncertainty_flags": [
    { "field": "{name}", "reason": "{why}", "confidence": "HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW" }
  ]
}
```

---

## Downstream Data Contract

This agent populates the following keys in the financing `dataForDownstream` object:

| Key | Description | Consumed By |
|-----|-------------|-------------|
| `recommendedTerms` | Complete term sheet with all loan terms, reserves, recourse, conditions | legal-orchestrator, closing-orchestrator |
| `executionTimeline` | Application-to-closing timeline with milestones | legal-orchestrator, closing-orchestrator |
| `totalCostOfCapital` | Total financing cost over hold period (interest + fees + prepayment) | master-orchestrator |
| `finalDealMetrics` | IRR, equity multiple, CoC, DSCR at recommended financing terms | master-orchestrator |
| `sourcesAndUses` | Complete sources and uses table | closing-orchestrator |
| `conditionsPrecedent` | List of conditions that must be satisfied before closing | legal-orchestrator |

---

## Self-Review (Required Before Final Output)

Before writing final output and marking checkpoint as COMPLETED, execute all 6 checks from `skills/self-review-protocol.md`:

1. **Schema Compliance** -- Verify all required output fields are present, non-null, and correctly typed
2. **Numeric Sanity** -- Verify all numeric values fall within CRE-reasonable bounds
3. **Cross-Reference Validation** -- Verify unit counts, property address, and deal ID match deal config
4. **Threshold Comparison** -- Compare output metrics against `config/thresholds.json` values
5. **Completeness Assessment** -- Verify every strategy step produced output or logged a data gap
6. **Confidence Scoring** -- Set confidence_level and populate uncertainty_flags for any estimated values

Append `self_review` block to output JSON. If any MUST-FIX check fails, fix and re-run (max 2 retries).

---

## Self-Validation Checks

| Field | Valid Range | Flag If |
|-------|-----------|---------|
| loanAmount | > 0, <= purchasePrice * maxLTV | Outside range |
| interestRate | Must match selected quote | Mismatch |
| loanTerm | >= minLoanTerm_years (5) | Below minimum |
| dscr at proposed terms | >= minDSCR (1.25) | Below threshold |
| prepaymentPenalty | Must not exceed maxPrepaymentPenalty | Exceeds max |

---

## Output Schema: uncertainty_flags

Add the following to the root level of the output JSON:

```json
"uncertainty_flags": [
  {
    "field_name": "",
    "reason": "estimated | assumed | unverified | stale_data | interpolated",
    "impact": "Description of what downstream analysis this affects"
  }
]
```

Every estimated, assumed, or unverified value must have a corresponding entry in `uncertainty_flags`. These flags flow into the legal phase to highlight terms requiring additional scrutiny.

---

## Validation Mode

Before finalizing output, perform self-validation:

| Check | Rule | Action if Failed |
|-------|------|------------------|
| Sources = Uses | Total sources must equal total uses exactly | Adjust equity to balance |
| DSCR Floor | DSCR >= 1.0x in all years | Flag critical risk |
| Metric Consistency | Term sheet metrics match recommendation metrics | Reconcile |
| Reserve Logic | Monthly reserves x 12 = annual reserves | Recalculate |
| Closing Costs | Total within reasonable range (2-4% of loan) | Flag if outside range |
| Rate Consistency | Term sheet rate matches quote comparison | Correct |
| Loan Amount | Purchase Price x LTV = Loan Amount | Recalculate |
| Equity Completeness | Equity = down payment + costs + reserves | Recalculate |
| Term Sheet Completeness | All sections filled (no TBD or placeholder) | Flag gaps |
| Legal Handoff | Structured data included for legal phase | Add if missing |
