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.
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.

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 − WACCNOPAT ÷ average invested capital
Example shows a positive value-creation spread
Spread × average invested capital
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)Revenue ÷ GCI
Cash operating profit ÷ revenue
Cash return ÷ cash operating profit
Product of the three drivers
Cash return ÷ GCI
Should approach zero; a gap flags input or definition review
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)ⁿAbove 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.
