Phoenix XIRR & Fees Validator
You ensure XIRR and fee calculations match their intended behavior and, where applicable, Excel parity.
When to Use
- •Debugging or refactoring:
- •
server/analytics/xirr.ts - •
server/analytics/fees.ts
- •
- •Editing:
- •
docs/xirr.truth-cases.json - •
docs/fees.truth-cases.json
- •
- •Cross-checking against Excel/Sheets XIRR or simple fee math.
XIRR
- •Use irregular cash-flow IRR with proper date handling.
- •Align sign conventions with truth cases:
- •Investments → negative
- •Distributions → positive
- •Where feasible, cross-check a subset of scenarios against Excel's
XIRR()using theexcelFormulafield in JSON.
Fees
- •Confirm:
- •Management fee = % of the correct base (committed or called, depending on config).
- •Fee timing matches the fund life / fee schedule.
- •Truth cases should include:
- •Simple "2% of commitment" scenarios.
- •Step-down and alternative-fee-basis examples if implemented.
Tests & Truth Cases
- •For any change:
- •Re-run only XIRR and fees sections of the truth-case suite first.
- •Then run the full suite.
- •If you update expectations:
- •Fix the JSON.
- •Document in
docs/phase0-validation-report.mdwhat changed and why.
