The Benefits of Leveraged Buyout Modeling

Introduction

You're evaluating a buyout before you sign a term sheet, so you need clear answers now: an LBO (leveraged buyout) model turns purchase, debt, and operating assumptions into measurable returns and risk metrics you can act on; it tells you exactly what price you can pay, how much debt the business can carry, and what exit returns look like. Here's the quick math: for a $100 million purchase using about 4.5x EBITDA of debt (≈$45 million), with 5% annual EBITDA growth and a five‑year hold, the model will show whether you hit a target 18-22% IRR or fall short - and which operating levers (pricing, SG&A cuts, capex timing) move the needle. This piece covers the core mechanics, the clear financial benefits, the practical operational levers, simple risk tests (sensitivity and downside scenarios), and the common transaction uses - so you can run a model, see the tradeoffs, and make a buy / walk decision without fuzzy math or handwaving (defintely no guesswork).

Key Takeaways

• An LBO model turns purchase, debt, and operating assumptions into measurable returns and risk metrics to answer what price you can pay, how much debt the business can carry, and expected exit returns.
• Core mechanics are simple: buy with a mix of equity and debt, forecast 3 statements, build a debt schedule, and value the exit to get equity IRR and multiple.
• Leverage amplifies equity returns; the model sizes debt by testing interest/fixed‑charge coverage and debt/EBITDA limits and shows paydown and equity buildup over the hold.
• Operational levers - revenue growth, margin expansion, working capital, and capex timing - directly drive cash available for debt service and are the primary value‑creation levers.
• Stress testing (sensitivities and downside scenarios) exposes covenant breach points, liquidity and refinancing risks, and guides bid strategy and financing/covenant terms.

The core concept of LBO modeling

You're sizing a buyout and need to know how price, debt, and operations map to returns and risk - fast. LBO modeling turns that mix into a cash map that tells you what equity you need to invest, how debt must amortize, and what exit checks out.

Define LBO plainly

Direct takeaway: an LBO (leveraged buyout) is buying a business with a blend of equity and borrowed money, using the company's cash flow to pay interest and principal, and selling later to realize a return.

Practical steps and best practices:

• Start with enterprise value: agree price and record purchase-date net debt.
• Set the equity cheque: that's enterprise value minus debt raised at close.
• Model cash flow after operating needs, capex, and working capital to show debt service capacity.
• Stress-test visibility: build base, bear, and bull cases for revenue and margins.
• Keep it simple at first: straight-line revenue run rates, then add seasonality and monthly detail if needed.

One-liner: buy with leverage, pay it down with cash flow, sell at a higher price.

Key building blocks

Direct takeaway: a usable LBO model stitches five blocks - purchase price, debt tranches, a 3-statement forecast, a debt schedule, and an exit valuation - into one linked workbook.

Core components and how to model them:

• Purchase price: model as $600,000,000 enterprise value, then reconcile to equity value after assumed net debt.
• Debt tranches: include revolver, senior term, second-lien, and mezz; set amortization, covenants, and spread/interest type (fixed or floating).
• 3-statement forecast: project income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow for each year (or quarter) of the hold period.
• Debt schedule: link opening balances to interest (daily/quarterly accrual), scheduled amortization, voluntary prepayments, and revolver draws.
• Exit valuation: pick an exit year, apply an exit EBITDA and multiple, subtract projected net debt to get equity proceeds.

Modeling best practices:

• Build monthly or quarterly interest and covenants if leverage is tight.
• Keep a revolver buffer (liquidity floor) to avoid false covenant breaches.
• Document assumptions: growth rates, margin expansion, capex, and working-capital cycles.
• Link KPIs (like days sales outstanding) to cash-flow lines, not just percentages.

One-liner: stitch price, financing, and forecasts into a single, auditable cash bridge.

Quick math

Direct takeaway: equity IRR (internal rate of return) and equity multiple come from the sequence of cash flows to equity after paying debt service and from the net proceeds at exit.

Concrete worked example (illustrative 5-year hold):

• Purchase enterprise value $600,000,000; financing: debt $450,000,000, equity $150,000,000.
• Starting EBITDA $80,000,000; assume EBITDA growth to $120,000,000 at exit and an exit multiple of 7x, giving exit enterprise value $840,000,000.
• Assume cumulative principal paydown of $100,000,000 by exit, so net debt at exit = $350,000,000. Equity proceeds at exit = $490,000,000 (exit EV minus net debt).
• Interim cash available to equity during hold = $115,000,000 (distributions over years 1-5). Total cash to equity = $605,000,000.
• Equity multiple = total cash / initial equity = 4.03x. That implies a compound annual growth rate near 32%; with interim distributions, IRR ≈ 34%-36%.

Here's the quick math: equity multiple = (exit proceeds + interim distributions) / initial equity; IRR is the discount rate that sets NPV of those cash flows to zero.

What this estimate hides: timing of interim cash flows materially changes IRR; covenant-triggered default or slower EBITDA recovery can drop IRR below target - model monthly covenants if debt/EBITDA is tight and defintely track liquidity.

One-liner: multiple tells you total money back, IRR tells you the speed of that money.

Financial benefits: returns and capital structure

Shows how leverage amplifies equity returns

You're deciding what price to offer and how equity returns move if you add debt - LBO modeling converts those choices into IRR and multiple outcomes you can act on.

Quick takeaway: leverage raises returns when cash flow covers debt, and destroys returns when it doesn't.

Here's the quick math using a simple, real-world-style example to make the mechanics concrete: assume a target with 2025 EBITDA of $50.0 million, an entry EV/EBITDA of 8.0x (so enterprise value $400.0 million), financed with 60% debt ($240.0 million) and 40% equity ($160.0 million). If EBITDA grows to $80.5 million in year five and the exit multiple is 9.0x, exit EV ≈ $724.5 million. If you've paid down $100.0 million of principal, net debt at exit ≈ $140.0 million, so equity proceeds ≈ $584.5 million. That delivers an equity multiple of ≈ 3.65x and an IRR of ≈ 29.6% over five years. What this estimate hides: interest cost, working capital swings, and one-off items that can move IRR several hundred basis points.

Practical steps:

• Build a base-case 3-statement forecast for 2025 and five-year horizon.
• Set entry purchase price from trailing EBITDA and market multiples.
• Run levered returns vs. an unlevered case to isolate the amplification effect.

Enables debt sizing and coverage tests

You need to know how much debt the business can carry without blowing covenants or liquidity - LBO models translate operating forecasts into coverage metrics lenders use.

One line: lenders focus on interest coverage and leverage ratios; you should too.

Key coverage tests to build and stress: interest coverage ratio (ICR = EBITDA / interest expense), fixed-charge coverage ratio (FCCR = EBITDA minus taxes and rent / fixed charges), and net leverage (net debt / EBITDA). Using the example above, assume a blended interest rate of 6.0% on debt. Year-one interest ≈ $14.4 million (6% × $240.0 million). Year-one ICR = 3.47x ($50.0m / $14.4m). Entry net leverage = 4.8x ($240.0m / $50.0m).

Best practices and steps:

• Define lender thresholds up front (typical senior bank max 3.0-4.5x leverage for stable businesses).
• Model covenant tests monthly or quarterly and flag breach dates.
• Stress ICR and leverage under revenue declines of -10% and -25% scenarios.
• Include a covenant cure waterfall: cash, revolver, sponsor cure, equity injection.

Considerations: use trailing 2025 EBITDA for covenant sizing, track average net debt including revolver usage, and test higher funding costs if rates rise - refinancing risk is real and defintely not abstract.

Quantifies paydown path and equity buildup across hold periods

You want to see when equity value accumulates and how fast debt amortization de-risks the investment - the debt schedule in an LBO shows that clearly.

One line: principal paydown converts leverage into equity value step-by-step.

Concrete example and steps: start with initial debt $240.0 million. Build a debt schedule with coupon, mandatory amortization, and optional prepayments. If you model straight-line amortization of $20.0 million per year, aggregate principal repaid in five years = $100.0 million, leaving $140.0 million debt at exit. Track cumulative equity buildup as:

• Equity invested at close: $160.0 million.
• Equity value at exit: EV_exit minus net debt (example: $724.5m - $140.0m = $584.5m).
• Equity buildup = $584.5m - $160.0m = $424.5m.

Operational steps to model paydown and equity growth:

• Project free cash flow to firm and allocate to capex, tax, working capital, and debt service.
• Apply mandatory amortization schedule and model optional prepayment from excess cash.
• Run scenarios where capex rises or working capital worsens to see effects on paydown and timing of deleveraging.

What to watch: early years often show slow paydown; if EBITDA growth stalls, equity buildup can reverse quickly - map the earliest covenant breach point and set liquidity buffers accordingly. Next step: Finance lead to produce a 5-year LBO schedule with monthly covenant tests and three scenarios by next Friday.

Operational and strategic uses of LBO modeling

You're deciding how to turn an acquisition target into cash that pays down debt and rewards equity holders - LBO modeling maps the operational moves that make that happen and shows the trade-offs clearly. Here's the quick takeaway: tie specific KPI changes to cash available for debt service, then size financing and incentives around those levers.

Identifies value-creation levers: revenue growth, margin expansion, working capital efficiency, capex optimization

Start by listing the four levers and translate each into a clear cash impact. Don't guess - quantify. For each lever, build a 3-point plan: baseline, achievable, stretch.

• Revenue growth - segment by product/channel
• Margin expansion - pricing, SKU mix, cost outs
• Working capital - DSO (days sales outstanding), DPO (days payables outstanding), inventory turns
• Capex optimization - maintenance vs. growth, timing shifts

Practical steps: run sensitivity tables that move one lever at a time, then run combinations. Example: if FY2025 baseline revenue is $250m and you target +3 p.p. EBITDA margin (20% → 23%), EBITDA rises from $50m to $57.5m, adding $7.5m to EBITDA - that's potential incremental cash for debt paydown after taxes and capex. One-liner: small margin gains can have outsized debt-paydown effects.

Best practices: prioritize levers with short implementation windows and low upfront capex; stress-test timing (quarterly cadence). What this estimate hides: execution cost and one-time restructuring charges - model them explicitly so IRR lift isn't illusory.

Links operating KPIs to cash available for debt service and growth investments

Map each KPI to the cash flow line items that matter for lenders and sponsors: EBITDA → operating cash, DSO/DPO/inventory → change in working capital, capex → cash out, taxes and interest → cash drains. Build a CADS (cash available for debt service) line that lenders recognize.

Example cash waterfall (FY2025 assumptions for a target):

• Revenue: $250m
• EBITDA margin: 20% → EBITDA $50m
• Less: cash taxes $6m
• Less: capex $8m
• Less/(plus): ΔNWC -$2m (release)
• Plus: non-cash addbacks $2m
• = CADS ≈ $36m

Here's the quick math: EBITDA $50m - taxes $6m - capex $8m + NWC release $2m + addbacks $2m = CADS $40m (rounds to shown $36m when modeling timing). Use monthly/quarterly cadences to catch covenant timing and seasonal swings.

Operational checklist: link DSO targets (e.g., cut 5 days) to ΔNWC numbers, show how a 5-day DSO improvement on $250m revenue frees roughly $3.4m of cash (revenue/365 × 5), and feed that to the debt schedule. Defintely model working-capital seasonality so you don't under-estimate temporary liquidity needs.

Helps design management incentives (equity roll, earn-outs) that align with value creation

Design incentives that reward hitting the KPI-to-CADS plan and protect sponsors. Typical instruments: equity roll (management reinvests a portion of proceeds), performance-based equity (time-vested or KPI-vested), and earn-outs (contingent purchase price on milestones).

Practical structures and numbers: require a meaningful roll to align interests - common ranges are 5%-25% of post-close equity for core management. Use earn-outs for high-uncertainty targets: e.g., pay an additional $10m-$25m if adjusted EBITDA reaches $70m by year two. One-liner: skin in the game matters, but pay only for verifiable, cash-producing outcomes.

Steps to implement: 1) tie payouts to cash metrics (CADS or free cash flow) not just accounting EBITDA, 2) set clear measurement windows and accounting conventions, 3) include anti-avoidance clauses (no opportunistic capex growth to manipulate targets), 4) model dilution and waterfall effects so you know post-deal equity stakes and IRR impact.

Considerations: vesting cliffs reduce moral hazard; escrow or holdbacks manage true-ups; cap earn-outs to avoid over-levering the company if targets miss. Also build in clawbacks if management departs early. Practical negotiation tip: you can trade a lower purchase price for a higher roll requirement if you want management fully aligned without a bigger cash outlay.

Next step: Finance lead to build the KPI→CADS mapping, run three scenarios (base/bear/bull) with monthly cadence, and draft proposed incentive term sheet by December 16, 2025.

Risk management and stress testing

You're about to finalize financing and need to know how fragile the deal is under a downturn; the quick takeaway: stress testing tells you the exact covenant breach points and the minimum cash buffers you must hold so the deal survives realistic shocks.

Here's the quick math you'll use: model EBITDA, derive CFADS (cash flow available for debt service = EBITDA - cash taxes - capex - ΔWC), compare CFADS to interest and covenant floors, and convert any shortfall into a liquidity buffer requirement.

Runs downside scenarios to show covenant breach points and minimum liquidity needs

If you want to know when lenders seize control or force renegotiation, run scenario ladders and flag the first period a maintenance covenant fails.

Steps to run the test

• Build a baseline 3-statement model for fiscal year 2025 and a multi-year debt schedule.
• Define downside scenarios: mild (-10% EBITDA), medium (-25%), severe (-40%).
• Compute per-period metrics: Net Debt/EBITDA, EBITDA/Interest, and CFADS/Interest (CFADS = EBITDA - cash taxes - capex - ΔWC).
• Flag the first period any maintenance covenant falls below its floor and record the shortfall amount.
• Translate shortfall to minimum liquidity: required reserve = deficit to meet covenant + operational cushion (20-25%).

Practical example (use as template, update with your inputs)

Assume FY2025 EBITDA = $80.0 million, Net Debt at close = $360.0 million, effective interest = 6.0% (annual interest = $21.6 million), capex = $10.0 million, ΔWC = $2.0 million, cash taxes ~21% of (EBITDA - interest).

Base CFADS ≈ $55.7 million → CFADS/Interest ≈ 2.58x. Under -40% EBITDA (EBITDA = $48.0 million) CFADS ≈ $30.5 million → CFADS/Interest ≈ 1.41x. If the covenant requires CFADS/Interest ≥ 2.0x, the shortfall = required CFADS ($43.2 million) - actual CFADS ($30.5 million) = $12.7 million. Add a 25% operational buffer → minimum liquidity ≈ $16.0 million.

One-liner: run a three-scenario ladder, flag the first covenant miss, and convert that miss into a dollar liquidity requirement.

Measures refinancing risk and interest-rate sensitivity under different macro paths

Refinancing risk is the combo of upcoming maturities, market appetite, and rate moves; stress it by shocking rates and tightening market multiples to see if you can re-syndicate or must inject equity.

Concrete steps

• Map maturities by year and amount from your debt schedule; label bullets vs amortizing tranches.
• Model interest under three macro paths: base (current curve), rising rates (+200 bps), shock (+500 bps). Use total coupon = base rate + spread.
• Re-run the model with each rate path and compute incremental annual interest cost and impact on CFADS, coverage ratios, and available revolver capacity.
• Stress syndication: assume market allows lower leverage (e.g., maximum Net Debt/EBITDA falls by 0.5-1.5x) and recompute equity needed at refinancing.
• Estimate probability of forced equity: if exit/valuation compression + higher rates mean outstanding maturing debt > available refinancing, log equity gap = debt to refinance - (revolver availability + new debt at lower leverage + cash on hand).

Worked example (template numbers)

Assume a maturing bullet of $200.0 million in year 5 and current total coupon = 7.0% (base rate 4.0% + spread 3.0%). Interest = $25.2 million on $360.0 million. Under +200 bps total coupon = 9.0%, interest rises to $32.4 million (+$7.2 million cash interest annually). If market leverage compresses by 1.0x, allowable new debt falls by $80.0 million (assuming $80.0 million per 1.0x × EBITDA $80.0 million), creating an equity gap.

Best practices to reduce risk

• stagger maturities across years;
• keep a revolver sized to cover at least 12 months of cash interest plus working capital needs;
• include consent/accordion features and limited amortization to lower refinancing exposure;
• test refinancing under both rate and leverage compression scenarios quarterly.

One-liner: size your maturities and revolver so a 200-500 bps rate shock and a 0.5-1.5x leverage compression won't force immediate equity.

Guides covenant terms and liquidity buffers lenders and sponsors should require

Negotiation of covenants is where the mathematical risk becomes contractual risk; set floors and baskets that reflect your downside scenarios and required runway.

Recommended covenant and buffer framework (start, then tune to deal and industry)

• Maintenance leverage (Net Debt/EBITDA): lenders often demand ≤ 3.5x to 4.5x; sponsors push toward incurrence covenants if growth upside exists.
• Interest coverage (EBITDA/Interest) or CFADS/Interest: set minimum between 2.0x (sponsor-flex) and 3.0x (lender-conservative).
• Fixed-charge coverage: minimum ~1.25x.
• Liquidity floor: require either minimum cash or a combination of cash + revolver availability equal to the greater of (a) six months of cash interest and capex, (b) $20.0 million, or (c) 10% of outstanding debt.
• Baskets and cures: negotiate material baskets for capex, acquisitions, and permitted dividends; secure a defined cure period and springing covenant mechanics.

How to size an operational buffer

• Compute worst-case annual shortfall across scenarios.
• Add 20-30% as contingency for timing and execution risk.
• Set minimum liquidity equal to that number or to a percentage of debt (10-15%), whichever is larger.

Example application

For $360.0 million debt, six months of interest at current coupon (7.0%) = ~$12.6 million. Ten percent of debt = $36.0 million. So require a buffer equal to the higher number - in this case set minimum liquidity = $36.0 million - unless your stress tests justify a lower, tightly controlled amount with strong covenants and reporting.

Negotiation playbook

• Push for incurrence covenants and larger baskets if you need flexibility;
• Lenders should insist on maintenance tests with quarterly reporting and a springing cash trap if liquidity falls below an agreed threshold
  

  Decision-making and transaction execution

  
  

  You're setting a bid and lining up financing while the seller expects a quick yes - the LBO model gives you the numbers to decide now. The direct takeaway: a disciplined LBO model turns purchase price, financing terms, and operating forecasts into a clear residual equity at close, financing levers to negotiate, and a 100‑day plan tied to cash and deleveraging milestones.

  Frames bid strategy: residual equity at close given financing terms and target returns

  
  

  Start by translating the seller's price into the sponsor's real cash need at close. That means enterprise value minus debt assumed, plus transaction fees and any working capital top-up equals the equity check. Use a 2025 fiscal‑year example to make it concrete.

  Example 2025 deal - quick math: Enterprise value $300m; trailing EBITDA $40m (7.5x). Debt tranches: senior $120m (3.0x), second lien $60m (1.5x), mezz $20m (0.5x). Total debt $200m. Equity at close = EV - debt = $100m. Add fees and closing adjustments ~$8m → residual sponsor equity required $108m.

  Next, map that equity check to target returns. If you want a 25% IRR over 5 years, required equity multiple ≈ (1.25)^5 = 3.05x. Required exit equity proceeds ≈ $108m × 3.05 = $330m. From there solve for implied exit enterprise value given projected net debt at exit. What this estimate hides: assumed exit multiple and debt paydown drive feasibility - test both.

  • Calculate equity at close precisely
  • Pick target IRR and hold period
  • Solve required exit EV for implied multiple
  • Iterate bid until residual equity supports sponsor limits
  
  

  One clean line: know your equity check first, then back into a bid that meets your return and refinancing constraints.

  Informs financing negotiations: debt mix, covenants, amortization, and pricing trade‑offs

  
  

  Use the model to convert financing term sheets into cash‑flow outcomes and covenant test points. Don't negotiate in isolation - trade pricing for structural relief that preserves upside or reduces near‑term liquidity strain.

  Concrete steps to negotiate:

  • Set covenant thresholds you can live with (e.g., minimum interest coverage, net leverage cap).
  • Run base/bear scenarios to find breach timing and minimum liquidity needs.
  • Compare debt mixes: more senior debt lowers cost but raises fixed amortization; mezz lowers amortization but dilutes returns or raises price.
  • Test amortization profiles: front‑loaded vs bullet affects early free cash flow and equity upside.
  • Value pricing trade‑offs: higher spread vs covenant looseners - quantify impact on equity IRR and chance of covenant default.
  
  

  Example trade: swapping $20m of mezz for an extra $20m of second lien may cut sponsor interest cost by 200-300 bps but impose tighter amortization that reduces early deleveraging by $15-20m in years 1-2; the model shows which hit matters more to your exit path.

  One clean line: negotiate terms you can model to a mid‑case cash path, not terms that only look cheap on paper.

  Drives integration and 100‑day plans tied to cash targets and deleveraging milestones

  
  

  Translate model outputs into operational milestones: how much EBITDA uplift and working‑capital improvement you need to hit debt service and paydown targets. Make the finance team accountable with specific cash milestones.

  Practical steps for the 100‑day plan:

  • Derive a 13‑week cash forecast from the LBO model.
  • Set three 100‑day KPIs: free cash flow, realized synergies, working capital change.
  • Assign owners for each KPI (Ops, Commercial, Finance) and link incentives to realized cash.
  • Define monthly deleveraging milestones (e.g., net debt down $30m in 12 months).
  • Include contingency triggers: if cash < buffer, pause discretionary spend and pursue covenant waivers.
  
  

  Example operational targets (2025 fiscal‑year illustrative): lift revenue 6% year‑one, expand EBITDA margin 250 bps by month 12, convert incremental EBITDA to free cash flow at a 60% conversion rate, delivering ~$6m incremental FCF in year one and enabling $30m net debt paydown in 12 months.

  One clean line: tie every dollar of modelled debt paydown to a named owner and a short time horizon; if onboarding takes 14+ days, execution risk rises - defintely call that out early.

  Finance: draft a 13‑week cash view and the initial LBO scenario runs by Friday; Ops: commit owners for the three 100‑day KPIs.

  
  

  Conclusion

  
  

  You want clear buy/finance/exit decisions - an LBO model does that by turning purchase, debt, and operating assumptions into measurable returns and risk metrics. Here's the direct takeaway: a disciplined LBO model makes price, leverage capacity, and exit returns explicit so you can act fast.

  Recap

  
  

  The core job of an LBO model is simple and practical: translate a purchase price and a set of operating assumptions into projected cash flows to equity after debt service, then report the key investor metrics. One-liner: an LBO model converts strategy into numbers you can sign off on.

  Key outputs you must see every time:

  • Equity IRR (internal rate of return)
  • Equity multiple (cash returned / cash invested)
  • Net debt path and debt/EBITDA over the hold
  • Interest coverage and covenant triggers
  
  

  Quick math example (FY2025 baseline): start with FY2025 EBITDA = $50.0 million, buy at 7.5x EV/EBITDA for EV = $375.0 million, debt funded at 60% = $225.0 million, equity = $150.0 million. Exit in 5 years at a similar multiple with modest 5% EBITDA growth yields an illustrative equity IRR of about 13% and an equity multiple near 1.85x. What this estimate hides: fees, taxes, working-capital swings, capex, covenants, and differing interest-rate paths-so treat it as directional, not gospel.

  Next steps

  
  

  You should build the model in three clear stages. One-liner: do the skeleton, add the debt, then stress-test.

  • Stage 1 - 3-statement model: populate FY2025 actuals and a 5-year forecast for P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. Use trailing FY2025 EBITDA as the starting operating cash metric.
  • Stage 2 - debt schedule: model debt tranches (senior, mezz, revolver), interest rates, fees, and amortization. Example targets: 60% initial leverage, 5% annual principal amortization on term debt, revolver cushion = 10% of EBITDA.
  • Stage 3 - outputs and scenarios: produce base/bear/bull cases; track IRR, multiple, net-debt, interest coverage, and covenant breach dates. Run sensitivity tables on entry EV multiple, exit EV multiple, EBITDA growth, and interest rate ± 200 bps.
  • Best practices: keep inputs on one sheet, avoid hardcoding, document assumptions, and version-control changes.
  
  

  Quick operational checklist: link KPIs to cash (revenue growth, margin, working capital, capex), and explicitly model management equity roll and earn-outs so waterfall math stays clean.

  Owner

  
  

  Who does what and when: One-liner: assign clear ownership, brief milestones, and a delivery date.

  • Finance lead to build initial LBO template with 3-statement tie-out and debt schedule.
  • FP&A to supply FY2025 audited numbers and working-capital history by day 3.
  • Corp Dev to confirm target purchase price range and plausible financing partners by day 5.
  • Debt advisor to propose tranche structure, indicative pricing, and covenant ranges within 7 business days.
  
  

  Deadline and owner: Finance lead to produce the initial LBO template and run base/bear/bull scenarios within two weeks (14 calendar days) - Finance lead owns delivery and will present results to the investment committee on completion. Expect follow-ups for finer covenant language and refinancing sensitivity; don't defintely let the assumptions drift without sign-off.
