Build Office REIT Debt Refinancing & Debt Yield Analyzer with LangChain & LangGraph

As commercial REITs face default notices and liquidity pressure in metropolitan office markets, financial engineers need automated pipelines to model complex debt workouts. Developers will construct an office REIT debt yield analyzer using LangChain and LangGraph. The graph pipeline ingests property Net Operating Income (NOI), existing debt principal, and current treasury yields. It loops through loan restructuring strategies (interest rate caps, principal cash injections, debt yield targets) to determine the exact equity injection required to meet lender refinancing benchmarks.

Challenge brief

What you are building

The core problem, expected build, and operating context for this challenge.

Develop an office REIT debt refinancing state graph using LangChain and LangGraph to calculate required equity injections.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates calculation accuracy of required equity paydown to achieve required minimum debt yield.

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

Debt Yield Target Compliance

Ensures property_noi / post_paydown_loan_balance strictly equals target_debt_yield_pct

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

Paydown Math Precision

Precision of calculated equity paydown amount • target: 0.98 • range: 0-1

Binary check

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

Learning goals
