"Assumptions"
"Illustrative single-cutoff cash model; not a total-event profit statement."
"All entered deposit proceeds are assumed available by the cutoff. Pending funds must be excluded or modeled at a later date."

"Result notes"
"A deposit balance is not automatically earned profit or legally nonrefundable."
"Re-run for each material payment date; one cutoff cannot reveal every cash trough."
