Option drilldown

Why Option 2 wins and where each alternative breaks

Scenario lab

Option 2 survives the base case, but demand-side drivers carry the most risk

3-case summary and cumulative cash path

Base, upside, and pressure are shown together so judges can see what breaks the answer and what still holds.

Top swing factors

Reference library

Source groups and summary proof

About the research

How the appendix was built

This page uses a consulting-style evidence stack: case materials define the ask, official company and product pages define the platform reality, filings define the financial guardrails, and official consulting research sharpens the relevance lens.
