Tested: the period for a loss before tax; the thirteen week forecast for a week when cash on its own runs out; every covenant against the limit it was last tested at. And for this business: claims not yet filed against the window each has left. Ranked by standing first — what is already true before what is still ahead — then by how much of its own base each one takes. Never by amount, because the bases behind them are not the same thing measured twice.
