- The analysis will not provide sufficiently robust and flexible sensitivity analysis
- The deal or decision is not optimally structured
- Valuable client resource is prevented from focussing their time and resources on managing other key deal issues
- The investment model contains material errors
- The analysis is not performed by a well trained, suitably experienced person.
