Funding shockGovernance failure

The case in brief

Visible before detection

Checks that could have surfaced it, on hindsight

Funding and liquidity tracking would show the bank burning through liquid assets.

Can mislead when: Cost allocation is a judgement call. Kubr shows its assumptions and lets the user change them.

Board and risk governance records would show how the funding position was managed.

Can mislead when: Private companies file late, so these signals are lagging. Kubr uses them to support other flags, not to prove anything alone.

Supervisory and regulatory records would show prior concern about the bank.

Can mislead when: Court records lag and name spellings vary. A clean record can mean the problem has not reached court yet.

Mapped from the checks each service runs. A hindsight reading of public records, not a promise that the failure would have been found.
