How a flat or falling price, longer delay and a deeper exit discount change the result.
| Scenario | Price change | Delay | Exit discount | Nominal profit | Annualised | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Downside | -8% | 12 mo | 5% | -$136,712 | -9.40% | Current |
| Flat price | 0% | 3 mo | 1% | -$13,669 | -0.87% | |
| Current assumptions | 4% | 0 mo | 0.5% | $51,883 | 3.19% | |
| Upside | 10% | 0 mo | 0.25% | $169,026 | 9.20% |
Annual price change × exit discount. Other current assumptions stay fixed.
| Growth / discount | 0% discount | 2% discount | 5% discount | 10% discount | 20% discount |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| -10% / yr | -10.63% | -11.00% | -11.56% | -12.52% | -14.58% |
| -5% / yr | -5.66% | -6.04% | -6.63% | -7.65% | -9.83% |
| 0% / yr | -0.69% | -1.09% | -1.71% | -2.78% | -5.07% |
| 5% / yr | 4.28% | 3.86% | 3.21% | 2.09% | -0.32% |

Break-even solves for zero nominal profit under current cost conventions. It does not include a return on time; the hurdle is separate.
Delay is not free
A delayed sale extends price exposure, custody and fixed costs without adding growth. Twelve months of delay is modelled explicitly in the downside scenario.
Discounts and fees stack
The exit discount applies to marked value before the sale fee. A stressed exit can involve both — explicit charges and receiving less than the indicated value.
No forecast is implied
Scenarios carry no probabilities. The grid varies inputs together to show sensitivity, not a distribution of outcomes.
Next: test the reserve before any simulated mint.
