    1 - Resources - decompose Total Assets to determine what assets are truly unrestricted and potentially available in <7 days to meet emergency liquidity needs. Include detailed analysis of alternative investments, available credit lines, and credit capacity in our analysis.

    2 - Risks - lead a disciplined effort to identify and quantify the dollar impact of the top 10-15 risks facing the organization, and use this information as a basis for calculating a stress-level liquidity requirement.
