The Covenant Phone Call

THE COVENANT PHONE CALL — Analyst at desk: 'Leverage looks good — 4.78x.' Phone rings, caller ID: LENDER. Empty conference room: 'Springing test triggered last Tuesday.' Senior partner at window, deadpan: 'The lender shouldn't be telling us this.'

The lender shouldn't know first.

When the lender notices a covenant test before you do, the loss is not the breach. The loss is the asymmetry — they have a system that watched. You had a quarterly cycle that didn't.

This is what decision continuity prevents — not by writing the memo for you, but by keeping the memo testable.
