Read the contextA sequence for internal evaluation
- Purpose: Document the business problem and alternatives before selecting an asset.
- Capacity: Consider a loss scenario, liquidity obligations and operational resources.

- Implementation: Evaluate counterparties, settlement paths and recovery arrangements.
