Hire an AI locked-box deal price checker

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• Gross seller transfers, less permitted items and confirmed repayments, giving unrecovered leakage
• The price after the leakage deduction
• The ticking fee: eligible days times the daily amount
• One bridge with leakage and ticking on separate lines
• A list of disputed items and gaps

How it does the job well

• Reconcile to source documents, such as bank statements, ledgers and invoices, before reporting.
• Show the calculation, inputs and period for every figure.
• Label actuals, estimates and forecasts clearly.
• Send tax, legal and regulatory questions to a qualified professional.

Mistakes it avoids

• Mixing cash and accrual figures, or different periods, in one comparison.
• Rounding or formula errors that do not tie back to totals.
• Giving personal investment advice.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Closing is near and you need the final price after leakage and the delay fee.

• Leakage. Transfers less permitted items and repayments, with disputed items on their own line.
• Ticking fee. Eligible days times the daily amount, one line for each rate.
• Price bridge. Fixed price less leakage plus ticking fee, with the base used for the fee.
• Sources and gaps. Each input's source, each gap and any check that could not run.

How the work is checked

• Recoveries and ticking amounts are counted once, and the agreement decides whether the daily fee applies to the original or the adjusted price.
• Trace each material input to its source, date, currency, scale, sign and reporting period. Keep unresolved MISSING: lines.
• Tell a real zero, missing evidence and a ratio that does not apply apart. Never force a tie with an unexplained plug.
• Keep inputs apart from formulas. When a workbook is made, check a changed input, a real recalculation and the reopened file.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Locked-box leakage checker. Tags each transfer to the seller in the locked-box period. Takes off permitted items and confirmed repayments, sets disputed items apart, and deducts only the unrecovered amount from the fixed price. Hands step 2 the leakage and the price it reduces.
• Deal ticking fee checker. Multiplies your lawyer's eligible days by the daily amount, as a separate line for each rate if the rate changes. Shows the price with leakage and ticking side by side, and a second bridge when the contract's base price differs.

How the role works

1. Checks your task, context and available tools.
2. Picks the methods needed and prepares a work plan.
3. Carries out supported tasks, with each method's limits and review gates.
4. Checks the real deliverables and corrects supported faults.
5. Hands back files, evidence and unresolved gaps.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• The signed locked-box price and the locked-box date, from the sale agreement
• The ledger of transfers to or for the seller since that date, with dates and amounts
• The permitted items from the agreement, and proof of any repayment
• The ticking clause: the daily amount, when it starts and stops, and calendar or business days
• The number of eligible days, confirmed by your lawyer
• Currency, scale and closing date

Helpful context (optional)

• The signed agreement, not a draft
• A transfer ledger with one line for each payment and a date

Tools and access

• A spreadsheet engine and file-capable AI: Builds a workbook with inputs, formulas and checks you can click into. In plain chat you get the same tables as text.
• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: Any of them can do these sums in a chat.
• An AI that can make spreadsheet files: It can build the workbook, recalculate it and check that it reopens.
• Node.js 20 or later (optional): Runs the small script that comes with the skill, for a second check of the numbers.
• Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini: Any of them can do these sums in a chat and show each step.

Functions and deliverables

  • The price after the leakage deduction
  • The ticking fee: eligible days times the daily amount
  • One bridge with leakage and ticking on separate lines

  • Your total unrecovered leakage
  • The price after leakage
  • A check that the permitted and repaid parts do not overlap or exceed the transfers
  • A list of disputed items and missing facts
  • A small workbook with the same sums, if your AI can make files
• Deal delay fee calculator: Share the agreed daily fee and eligible delay days. Get the extra amount and revised deal payment.
  • The accrued ticking fee, shown as eligible days times the daily amount
  • The revised consideration, which is the base price plus the fee
  • A check that the fee was not already in the price or prepaid
  • A list of missing facts and checks that could not run
  • A small workbook with the same sums, if your AI can make files

  • The gross success fee, split by tier
  • The retainer credit applied and the amount left to invoice
  • An editable workbook with your inputs, the sums and test cases
  • A list of missing inputs and the checks that did not run
• me.md builder: Answer a few questions, or let your AI use what it remembers. Get one private file that tells any AI who you are.
  • One me.md file with up to ten dated sections
  • A list of facts taken from memory, for you to check
  • A short note of what it removed for privacy
  • The two next steps, to save it and set it up

Tasks you can use it for

• Closing is near and you need the final price after leakage and the delay fee.
• The seller's ledger shows payments since the locked-box date and you need to know which ones count as leakage.
• A repayment came in after a transfer and you are not sure it should reduce the leakage.
• Closing slipped and you need to add the daily fee for the right number of days.

Limits to check before starting

• The deal uses a working capital peg and a true-up after closing: use the Seller closing proceeds and retained cash checker.
• You only need the leakage, or only the delay fee: use the Locked-box seller transfer checker or the Deal delay fee calculator on its own.
• There is a dispute, a tax gross-up or a liability cap. This covers plain leakage and a fixed daily fee only.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Add the workflow pack to Claude, ChatGPT or Gemini. Use an AI that can read files, and make spreadsheets if you want a workbook.
• Attach the signed agreement pages and the transfer ledger. Paste your lawyer's day count. Say the currency and scale once.
• After step 1, check that no item is both permitted and repaid, and that each transfer appears once. Disputed items should sit on their own line.
• After step 2, check that the day count is your lawyer's number and not two dates subtracted, and that the daily amount and the price share one currency.
• Read the bridge against the agreement and fill every MISSING line before anyone acts on a figure. Nothing here moves money.
