Financial Stress Test Meta-Skill

Overview

Use this meta-skill to challenge a financial model under adverse conditions. It stress-tests assumptions, scenarios, break-even resilience, and debt-service capacity so the plan can survive scrutiny and bad conditions, not just base-case optimism.

Use When

• Use after financial projections are materially complete.
• Use when lenders, investors, or internal reviewers need downside analysis.
• Use when resilience under uncertainty matters as much as the headline forecast.

Do Not Use When

• Do not use before the baseline model exists.
• Do not present stress cases as precision forecasts; they are decision tests.
• Do not use stress scenarios to hide a fundamentally broken base model.
