Compute an IRR sensitivity grid across a range of exit multiples and hold periods for a single lump-sum investment. WHEN TO USE: to stress-test how the annualised return varies with exit multiple and holding period before committing to an investment. Complements calculate_irr. WHEN NOT TO USE: when you need one precise IRR for a known exit value (use calculate_irr), or a full valuation (use calculate_dcf). BEHAVIOUR: pure deterministic calculation — no side effects, no network or storage access; idempotent and non-destructive. NOTE ON GRID GEOMETRY: the byMultiple grid is computed at the SECOND hold period in hold_periods (default 5 years); the byHoldPeriod grid is computed at a 2.5x exit multiple. RETURNS: JSON object { byMultiple: { "2.0x": 14.9, ... } with IRR values as percentage numbers rounded to 1dp, byHoldPeriod: { "5y": 18.4, ... } }. PARAMETERS: initial_investment (number > 0), exit_multiples (optional array of numbers to test, default [1.5, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, 3.5]), hold_periods (optional array of positive integers (years) to test, default [3, 5, 7, 10]).
