You will identify errors in financial modeling logic, assumptions, unit economics, valuation reasoning, forecasting, and metric interpretation. Additionally, you will fact-check finance concepts and calculations, write high-quality explanations and model solutions demonstrating correct methods, and rate and compare multiple responses based on correctness and reasoning quality.
