Valuation Matrix is Driven’s structured valuation workflow. It does not just run one model and hand you a number; it applies multiple valuation approaches, cross-checks the result against peers and management guidance, and flags how much confidence to place in the inputs.

​
Framework

A Skill is not a prompt — it is a repeatable capability built on a specific, citable framework and run as real code. Valuation Matrix is grounded in DCF and reverse DCF: it discounts projected cash flows to an intrinsic value, then inverts the model to back out the growth and margin assumptions the current price already embeds. It cross-checks that output against Damodaran valuation multiples so the result is anchored to peer-implied benchmarks rather than free-form guesswork.

​
When to use it

  • Putting a defensible value on a company
  • Pressure-testing whether a stock is cheap or expensive
  • Building the valuation section of an investment thesis
  • Comparing a company’s valuation against its own history and its peers

​
What it does

Valuation Matrix pulls the financial data, applies relevant valuation methods, and, importantly, runs the cross-checks a careful analyst would: it compares the output against peer valuations, checks it against management guidance, and notes the confidence level of the underlying data. This is the difference between a model that produces a number and a workflow that produces a number you can trust. Because the cross-checks are built into the workflow, you get the peer comparison and guidance reconciliation automatically rather than having to ask for them separately.

​
Prompt template

Run a Valuation Matrix on [TICKER]. Use multiple valuation methods, cross-check against peers and management guidance, state the key assumptions, and flag data confidence.

​
Example

Value XIAOMI (1810.HK). Use appropriate methods for its business mix, cross-check against peers, be explicit about assumptions, and flag where the data is uncertain.

​
Tips

  • Check the assumptions first. A valuation is only as good as its inputs; ask the Agent to surface the key assumptions so you can challenge them.
  • Mind accounting standards and units. For cross-market names, confirm the analysis is not mixing accounting standards or mismatching reporting periods. Ask the Agent to state which standard and period it used.
  • Re-run with your own assumptions. If you disagree with a growth or margin assumption, give the Agent yours and have it re-run.
