FDM.5:4.1 - Name the participant and intended result

Identify the participant whose result is at issue and what would improve for them: access to usable funds, a warranted lending decision, timely payment, a better understood exposure or another concrete gain. Establish the horizon and comparison the present question needs.

When several participants matter, retain their differing objectives and consequences. A lender’s result and a borrower’s result need not be identical. Use the responsible financial or management practice to settle a disputed objective or choice criterion.
