Why It Matters
The real value of capital stack planning.
A capital structure that works in the upside case but fails in the base case is not a viable capital structure. River's approach starts with the downside — identifying where the stack breaks before it's committed.
The value of getting this right early is measured by what you avoid — not what you gain.
