Proposed question
How can an issuer’s operating performance and debt structure be translated into a clear, repeatable credit assessment?
Intended method
Choose an issuer with accessible public filings. Record the source and date of every input. Describe the debt structure, cash generation and relevant credit metrics, then define a small set of scenarios whose assumptions can be inspected.
The first version could be built in Excel. A Python notebook would be a later learning exercise, subject to demonstrated proficiency. No production Python expertise is implied.
Definition of done
An original written note, a reproducible workbook, a source list, explicit limitations and a record of the checks performed. An investment recommendation would require additional reviewed analysis.
Current state
This project is proposed. No issuer has been selected and no model, finding or measured outcome is claimed.
