Context
Context: stress testing project cash waterfalls often creates disagreement over DSCR, LLCR, distribution coverage and the reliability of cash waterfall model, reserve rules, price scenarios. Without a shared frame, the distributions versus reserve buildup decision becomes implicit and accountability erodes.
Options
- Option A: Maintain the current approach to minimize disruption while accepting limited improvement.
- Option B: Pilot changes in stages, validate against metrics, and scale only after thresholds are met.
- Option C: Redesign the approach end to end to pursue larger gains with higher execution risk.
Decision
Decision: Select Option B. Validate DSCR, LLCR, distribution coverage early, revisit if cash waterfall model, reserve rules, price scenarios change materially, and document stop conditions.
Rationale
Rationale: Option B balances distributions versus reserve buildup and allows learning before full commitment. It protects the organization from misreading DSCR, LLCR, distribution coverage when cash waterfall model, reserve rules, price scenarios are volatile.
Risks
- Poor data quality can obscure shifts in DSCR, LLCR, distribution coverage and delay corrective action.
- Slow execution can deepen the downside of distributions versus reserve buildup and reduce credibility in governance reviews.
Next
Next: Assign owners, finalize baselines for DSCR, LLCR, distribution coverage, and record cash waterfall model, reserve rules, price scenarios with update rules. Schedule the first review and define escalation triggers.
