How this service works
Business Frameworks — Set the hurdle rate, applied to the caller's own numbers. Send the long-bond yield and two or three asset betas; get r for this business, with the sub-$5M and concentration rules applied. Deterministic (the node's rule, no model); returns the worked decision plus the node text and its public citations. Schema at GET /apply/risk/decide/hurdle.
Output
Returns the computed hurdle rate (r) for the business, a full worked decision showing how the rate was derived, the exact node rule text that governed the calculation, and the public citations behind that rule — all deterministic with no model inference involved.
Example use cases
Small business acquisition discount rate
“I'm evaluating a $4M revenue HVAC business. The long bond yield is 4.2%, comparable asset betas are 0.7 and 0.9, and I think the plan has about a 60% chance of succeeding. What hurdle rate should I use to discount its cash flows?”
Concentrated owner valuation check
“I own 100% of a distribution company and want to know my personal required return. Long bond is at 4.8%, I've got three comparable unlevered betas of 0.85, 1.0, and 1.1, and I want to add a 3-point concentration premium on top. What's the right hurdle rate?”
Standard CAPM hurdle rate for mid-market deal
“What's the cost of equity for a mid-market manufacturing business with asset betas of 1.2 and 1.05, current long government bond yield of 4.6%, and a standard 6-point market premium? Revenue is well above $5M so no plan probability adjustment needed.”

Endpoint
POSThttps://business-frameworks.matryoshka-paradigms.workers.dev/apply/risk/decide/hurdleWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a fully deterministic, rule-based hurdle rate grounded in a specific published framework — not a black-box model estimate. It is ideal for valuing private or owner-operated businesses, especially sub-$5M situations where plan probability belongs in the rate, or for concentrated-owner scenarios requiring an explicit personal premium. Prefer this over generic WACC calculators when you want the decision logic and citations returned alongside the number.
Side effects
- Missing required fields (long_bond_yield_pct or asset_betas) returns a 400 validation error
- Fewer than 1 or more than 3 asset betas may be rejected or produce unreliable results
- plan_probability outside [0,1] is rejected
- Payment not included or insufficient USDC causes a 402 Payment Required response
- Providing revenue_usd above $5M while also setting plan_probability has no effect (concentration rule not triggered)
