Challenge brief

What you are building

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

Uses Pydantic AI for strict type-safe structured validation of homebuilder buyer financing options, dynamic price cuts, and rate buydown combinations.

Delivery guide

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates mathematical correctness and Pydantic validation compliance of buydown recommendations.

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

Schema Type Validation

Verifies Pydantic output adheres to explicit data types without serialization errors

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

Builder Cost Calculation Accuracy

Precision of calculated rate buydown upfront points cost • target: 0 • range: 0-100

Binary check

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

Learning goals

What you should walk away with

  • Build type-safe agent flows using Pydantic AI dependencies and schemas

  • Model 2-1 interest rate buydown costs versus direct purchase price reductions

  • Validate buyer qualification thresholds (DTI, LTV) under variable rate options

  • Generate optimized sales incentive strategies that maximize builder net margin
