Estimate liquidity at risk
Estimate liquidity-at-risk, tail funding need, committed-facility exhaustion probability, and residual unfunded shortfall from aligned operating paths.
What it's for
Lets CEOs and investors see both the cash buffer required in adverse futures and whether signed facilities actually cover it, including the remaining unfunded gap.
What you give it
Inputs split into evidence read from your connected systems, calibration your team owns, and numerical controls that affect precision but never the result's meaning.

How it works
Statistical audit & measurement — Check whether a number is fit to decide on: coverage, timing, reconciliation, and the gaps a dashboard hides.
- 1 Freeze available starting liquidity, the protected minimum buffer, genuinely committed drawable facilities, horizon/cadence, and complete joint liquidity paths with probabilities.
- 2 Cumulate every path, measure its peak funding need relative to the buffer, then calculate weighted liquidity-at-risk and conditional tail funding need.
- 3 Separate facility exhaustion probability from residual unfunded shortfall and stress drawability, restrictions, collateral, covenants, and timing before presenting the decision.
Before you trust it
Every tool in the catalog ships with the conditions under which its answer is meaningful — and the conditions under which it should abstain instead of guessing.
Assumptions & guardrails
- Metric definitions, weights, aggregate grain, sampling, missingness, dependence, and comparison windows correspond to the management claim being audited.
- Paths consistently represent unrestricted liquidity and obligation timing, while the committed facility remains legally and operationally drawable in each represented state.
- Association, instability, or measurement quality is not a causal effect and must not be converted directly into an individual employment decision.
- Liquidity-at-risk is conditional on submitted paths and funding enforceability; it is neither a solvency opinion nor a guarantee that external capital will be available.
Minimum evidence
- starting_liquidity: required and organization-defined
- scenarios: at least 2 rows/items
How to validate it
Validate on future periods or held-out aggregate units, compare with a simple baseline, and require stability across plausible metric definitions and decision thresholds.
Calibrating it to your org
Same for everyone
The mathematical kernel, validation rules, method version, and JSON output semantics are organization-independent; no tenant-trained coefficients or company benchmark is embedded in the function.
Specific to you
- complete aligned joint liquidity-change paths including restricted cash, collateral, working capital, taxes, obligations, and financing timing
- liquidity perimeter, buffer, facility drawability and covenants, horizon/cadence, scenario probabilities/dependence, tail level, and exhaustion tolerance
Calibration workflow
- 1 Define the management decision, target outcome, aggregate unit, privacy boundary, cadence, and prediction/intervention horizon for this organization.
- 2 Build a tenant-scoped historical cohort using only information available before each prediction or decision; preserve zero periods, censoring, assignment probabilities, and unresolved outcomes when the method requires them.
- 3 Estimate statistical parameters on training history, but obtain costs, utilities, risk tolerance, practical-effect thresholds, capacity, and policy constraints from accountable decision owners.
- 4 Validate on later time windows or held-out aggregate units at the deployment grain, against a simple baseline and the function-specific validation strategy.
- 5 Deploy only if the returned decision clears evidence, overlap, calibration, robustness, and guardrail checks; warning, unsupported, schema-gap, and fallback decisions are abstentions.
- 6 Monitor realized outcomes, data drift, coverage, and decision regret; recalibrate at a governed cadence or after a detected regime/definition change, never merely because a stakeholder dislikes the result.
Call it from your AI
You don't wire up 388 tools in your MCP client. The GitRevio MCP server exposes 18 tools, three of which let an agent search the catalog, read a tool's schema, and run it — so the assistant finds this one on its own.
