Use the original worksheet

The CSV includes the hypothetical −10/0/10/50 loss model with 30/40/25/5 percent probabilities. The horizon, source and estimator fields identify declared assumptions or invite your own evidence; they do not supply invented historical observations.

Complete the contextual fields

Model-record fields

Sign conventionPositive loss versus positive profit
HorizonPeriod described by each loss
Exposure/return basisWhat the supplied losses represent
Source and estimatorObserved record, simulation or assumptions
Confidence and quantile ruleParameter and percentile convention

Check compatibility before interpreting outputs

Do not mix currency amounts and percentage returns in the same loss column. Establish mutually exclusive scenario records and a valid probability total. Identical loss amounts may be grouped, but different economic outcomes should retain their amounts.

Save comparison versions

When changing confidence or severity, retain the previous assumptions so the reason for a result change is clear. The CSV is a static input record, with no market feed or automatic calculation formulas.
