Template

Compare the capital projects described in {project_list} using a disciplined sequence. Step 1: Normalize all cash flows to the same convention — after-tax, incremental, ignoring sunk costs; state any flows you excluded and why. Step 2: Compute NPV for each project at the hurdle rate of {hurdle_rate}%, showing the discounting for at least the first two periods. Step 3: Compute IRR and payback period as secondary measures, noting where IRR is unreliable (non-conventional cash flows, mutually exclusive projects of different scale). Step 4: If projects are mutually exclusive, rank strictly by NPV and explain any conflict with the IRR ranking. Step 5: Address qualitative factors last — strategic fit, risk profile, reversibility — and state whether they change the quantitative ranking. Conclude with a single recommendation and the assumption most likely to overturn it.
