- Read a policy shock in the first six hours and run a shock cell with a clear freeze list
- Map net exposure by currency and date, and find the exchange rate at which your covenants and cash break
- Build a thirteen-week cash view and a liquidity ladder, and agree tripwires with your board
- Decide how much cost to pass on, to whom and in what order, with a pricing corridor and a margin file
- Triage supply, negotiate with overseas and local suppliers, and stay inside the rules under pressure
- Open the lender conversation early with a plan, a specific request and consistent numbers
- Write a board paper that asks for decisions, prepares for the second move and changes treasury policy for good
