Getting started: checking a run_case() object

## 4. IRR identity (all-equity): verifying that IRR is the root of NPV = 0

# 4.1 Build cash-flow vector (t = year)

  sum(flows / (1 + r)^(cfe$year))

# 4.2 Detect automatically a valid interval where NPV changes sign

grid <- seq(-0.9, 2.0, by = 0.01)
vals <- sapply(grid, npv_at)

# 4.3 Root finding with numerical control

# (B) The root found here should be close in rate terms

tol_cash <- 1e-2  # acceptable deviation in currency units

## 5. Discount factor consistency and interpretation

stopifnot("df" %in% names(cf_all))

stopifnot(all(diff(disc_factor) <= 1e-10))         # should be non-increasing

# Summary metrics

rate_estimate <- (df[length(df)]^(1 / (length(df) - 1))) - 1
decay_ratio   <- disc_factor[length(disc_factor)] / disc_factor[1]

# ---- Print a short summary ----

## 6. Sanity checks

# (a) NOI finiteness and range

stopifnot("noi" %in% names(cf_all))

min_noi <- min(cf_all$noi, na.rm = TRUE)
max_noi <- max(cf_all$noi, na.rm = TRUE)

# (c) Acquisition price consistency between pricing and cashflow tables

gap_price <- abs(price_di - price_cf)

sprintf("• Absolute gap between the two: %.8f (tolerance 1e-6)\n", gap_price),
if (min_noi < 0)
"• Note: NOI dips below zero in some periods - consistent with transitional or opportunistic strategies, but deserves economic interpretation.\n"
