Name the exposure instead of hiding it in a score.
Interest-rate sensitivity, borrower failure, market volatility, custody arrangements, and smart-contract dependencies cannot be understood from a headline yield alone. This collection describes specific mechanisms and asks what could prevent the intended outcome.
