Structure a buy-side / finance interview answer using template (definition → intuition → formula → use case → pitfalls). Not for valuation or ratio computation (see dcf-analyzer, ratio-analysis).

Quando usare

Structure a technical answer for the user as if it were an interview answer. Use when the user asks to prepare, structure, or rehearse an answer to a technical buy-side / finance interview question. Do not use to compute a valuation or financial ratios (see dcf-analyzer / ratio-analysis); this skill formats an explanation, it does not run calculations.

Struttura della risposta (il template)

Definizione — technical definition of the asked topic/subject.
Intuizione — a discursive comment on the definition, plus why someone would ask the question and where the concept is used.
Formula — if applicable, the formula with a brief description of its components.
Caso d'uso — a practical, buy-side example of the subject.
Trappole — the typical mistakes or subtleties one incurs on the topic.

Linee guida di stile

Answer in Italian. By default the answer is around 30 lines, unless the user asks otherwise. Do not use overly formal language: the key points must be clear and understandable.

Esempio

Question: Qual è la differenza tra Enterprise Value ed Equity Value?

Answer:

Definizione. L'Enterprise Value è il valore dell'intera azienda operativa, cioè per tutti i finanziatori (debito + equity); l'Equity Value è la parte che spetta ai soli azionisti.

Intuizione. L'EV misura quanto vale "la macchina che genera cassa", a prescindere da come è finanziata; l'Equity è ciò che resta agli azionisti dopo aver ripagato i creditori. Te lo chiedono per vedere se sai separare l'operativo dalla struttura finanziaria.

Formula. Equity Value = EV − Net Debt, dove Net Debt = debito − cassa.

Caso d'uso. In un DCF: scontando l'FCFF al WACC ottieni l'EV; per arrivare al prezzo per azione togli il debito netto e dividi per il numero di azioni.

Trappole. Confondere EV ed Equity (es. usare l'equity in un multiplo EV/EBITDA); dimenticare la cassa nel net debt; e ricordare che per le banche EV/WACC non si applica.

Casi limite

If the question bundles more themes, ask the user to split it into sub-questions and propose a possible scheme.
If the question is vague or not technical, ask the user to rephrase it so it can be answered technically.
