What you are building

Develop a financial audit agent using Claude Agents SDK and OpenAI o3 deep reasoning to audit balance sheets and forecast cash burn.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates financial burn rate computation and working capital deficiency alerting.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

audit_verification

Ensures audit pass condition is met

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

runway_months

Calculated operational cash runway in months • target: 2.5 • range: 0-120

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.
