Concordal
Research loop
Live program entry · run from one ticker

Collect evidence and execute five institutional-method programs

The system runs original Concordal research, quant diagnostics and five independent method engines. Each program returns applicability, calculations, company evidence, missing gates and its own conclusion; insufficient evidence is withheld rather than replaced with a teaching example.

The five programs run separately without voting or simple averaging; any final action must also pass original-research, live-quote, quant and evidence-consistency gates.

Goldman Sachs / 高盛:value creation and valuation program

Enter a ticker above to run the Goldman-logic program on real company evidence. The editable formula debugger below verifies ROIC–WACC, three-factor CROCI and FCFF DCF mechanics; its examples never enter the live ticker conclusion.

Program 01 · value-creation gate

ROIC versus cost of capital

Growth does not automatically create value. Incremental capital produces positive economic profit only when return on invested capital exceeds its cost.

ROIC = NOPAT ÷ average invested capital · value spread = ROIC − WACC
Lineage reference: PDF physical pages p31–34
Inputs (same reporting period)
ROIC
12.00%

NOPAT ÷ average invested capital

ROIC − WACC spread
3.50%

Example shows a positive value-creation spread

Economic profit
35.00

Spread × average invested capital

Program 02 · cash-return bridge

CROCI three-factor decomposition

This formula-debugging bridge separates cash return into asset turnover, operating margin and cash conversion. The live ticker program still requires inflation, asset-life and accounting adjustments.

CROCI = (revenue ÷ GCI) × (cash operating profit ÷ revenue) × (cash return ÷ cash operating profit)
Lineage reference: PDF physical page p27
Inputs (one currency and reporting period)
Asset turnover
1.50×

Revenue ÷ GCI

Operating margin
15.00%

Cash operating profit ÷ revenue

Cash conversion
62.22%

Cash return ÷ cash operating profit

Decomposed CROCI
14.00%

Product of the three drivers

Direct CROCI check
14.00%

Cash return ÷ GCI

Reconciliation gap
-0.000000%

Should approach zero; a gap flags input or definition review

Program 03 · simplified valuation recalculation

FCFF DCF and the terminal-growth hard gate

The explicit-period FCFF grows at one illustrative rate and then uses a Gordon terminal value. This is a formula debugger, not a company forecast, competitive-advantage fade model, scenario probability or capital-structure study.

EV = Σ FCFFₜ ÷ (1 + WACC)ᵗ + [FCFFₙ × (1 + g) ÷ (WACC − g)] ÷ (1 + WACC)ⁿ
Lineage reference: PDF physical pages p51–63
Inputs (use one scale for money and shares)

The hard gate requires WACC > g; terminal value is not calculated when WACC is equal to or below g.

PASS · formula gates cleared
Explicit-period PV

Enterprise value

Equity value

Terminal share of EV

Above 75%: the result is highly dependent on distant assumptions; downgrade it and run sensitivities.

How to use the formula debugger correctly

  • Normalize reporting period, currency, share scale and accounting definitions before editing inputs; attractive results with incompatible definitions are not comparable.
  • Keep ROIC, CROCI and DCF separate; explain conflicts rather than hiding them with an average.
  • Page inputs do not fetch company filings and do not constitute a security valuation. Investors should verify primary disclosures and decide independently.
