Builds a forward-looking, 10-12 slide PowerPoint deck that stress-tests a company's debt covenant package across three defined scenarios (Base, Downside, Severe), producing a breach-trigger heatmap, quantified headroom and break-even analysis, and a ranked mitigation playbook designed specifically to drive a board or lender negotiation meeting — this is a one-time negotiation-prep deck, not a recurring tracker, compliance workbook, or monitoring dashboard. RAG thresholds and shock sizes (e.g., -15%/-30% EBITDA) are internal analytical conventions applied for consistency, not externally certified rating-agency or industry standards. Use when a CFO, FP&A lead, or restructuring advisor needs a decision-ready scenario stress-test ahead of a specific board meeting, lender conversation, waiver request, or refinancing discussion — not for routine monthly/quarterly covenant monitoring.

Sample input
Build the covenant breach scenario deck for Meridian Industrial Holdings. We have a senior secured term loan with covenants: Total Leverage Ratio max 4.50x stepping down to 4.00x, Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio min 1.20x, and Minimum Liquidity $10M floor. Our forecast: FY25E EBITDA $46.5M, FY26E EBITDA $52.0M, debt balance $168.0M amortizing $2M/quarter, interest expense ~$11M/year. Most recent quarter actuals: TTM EBITDA $44.2M, TTM leverage 3.80x, FCCR 1.35x, liquidity $14.2M. We don't have credit agreement excerpts or a custom downside case.

Base-case compliant across all covenants with moderate headroom
Downside case triggers amber on Leverage by Q2 FY26E and approaches breach by Q4 FY26E
