05 · PROPOSED CREDIT

Test the repayment—not a promise of approval.

The model constrains the scenario using post-loan cash flow, debt-to-income and a configurable safety margin.

What “maximum indicated” means

It is a mathematical illustration based on the entered income, expenses, existing debt, selected DTI threshold and safety margin. It is not a lending limit, quotation, recommendation or pre-approval.

06 · ASSESSMENT

Explain the result with evidence, not fear.

The Alliance readiness index is transparent and advisory. It is not a bank score or approval probability.

    PRACTICAL NEXT STEP

    Complete the assessment to generate a consultation direction.

    Where another repayment appears unsustainable, move to the debt-relief comparison instead of encouraging further borrowing.

    07 · DEBT RELIEF

    Compare the present burden with an indicative DCRS scenario.

    Defaults are adjustable for consultation. This is not official DCRS output and does not promise concessions.

    Important DCRS limitation

    Actual proposals depend on the authorised DCRS process, proposal cascading, creditor responses, fees, legal requirements and the client’s circumstances. Use this comparison to explain direction—not to represent an approved restructuring plan.

    08 · EVIDENCE REVIEW & REPORT

    Screen the agreement, then document the conversation.

    Reckless-lending conclusions require agreement-level evidence and appropriate legal analysis.

      What this result means

      RECOMMENDED DIRECTION

      Complete the assessment to generate a recommended direction.

      1. Verify income, living expenses and every credit agreement.
      2. Discuss suitability with a registered debt counsellor.
      3. Prepare an official proposal only after the full statutory process.

      Important notice

      The illustrated restructuring figures use adjustable assumptions and are not official DCRS output. Actual repayment terms, interest rates, creditor concessions and legal outcomes may differ.
