Challenge

Build LangGraph Cash Flow Forecasting & Refinancing Pipeline with LangChain

Managing real estate debt portfolios during default risks requires stateful, deterministic workflow engines capable of looping through loan workout options, testing interest rate sensitivities, and generating cash flow forecasts. In this challenge, developers use LangChain and LangGraph to construct a stateful DAG (Directed Acyclic Graph) workflow agent. The pipeline evaluates distressed office assets, forecasts monthly dynamic cash flows based on rent rolls and debt payments, checks for covenant breaches, and outputs debt restructuring options.

Datasets

Challenge datasets

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

Evaluation rubric

How submissions are scored

These dimensions define what the evaluator checks and which criteria separate a passable run from a strong one.

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

NOI Math Precision

Validates annual NOI math strictly matches expected $3,240,000

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

Refinance Strategy Accuracy

Fidelity of chosen debt workout recommendation • target: 0.95 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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