Expected column = IRR of the probability-weighted cash flows (5.7%), not the average of scenario IRRs (5.6%); IRR is non-linear. Contractual timing re-times the same coupon dollars to 1 payment(s) per year (settlement on a coupon date, no accrued interest); principal/recovery stay on annual dates. Fees: 0.5% of cost, paid at t=0. Per $100M face. Timing: coupons at period ends; default → recovery cash 1 period after the default period; performing exit at the hold period at the lesser of the scenario exit-price cap and valuation coverage at the exit multiple. Floating coupons include the scenario rate shock. Scenario weights 55% / 30% / 15%.

Green ≥ hurdle IRR (12%) · amber = positive but below hurdle · red = loss (recovery table: green = full recovery, amber ≥ 60%). Every cell is the same calculation as the Excel Sensitivities tab; margin, growth, rate and multiple tables re-run the entire model (statements → debt → default → recovery → returns).
