Admissibility
The conditions under which analysis is structurally legitimate, and the conditions under which it collapses into narrative.
Lexicon
Preview: Conceptual Doctrine Only
Most financial disagreement is not disagreement about numbers. It is disagreement about language. The ABSA Lexicon exists to impose definitional discipline where interpretation tends to drift.
This preview publishes conceptual definitions and taxonomy only.
Operational doctrine—thresholds, normalization rules, weights, and conditions of stoppage—is disclosed exclusively in The Forensic Lexicon (Vol. I).
The intent is not secrecy for its own sake. The intent is to prevent misuse, misclassification, and false precision.

Classification Doctrine (withheld)
Distribution: Gumroad. The Lexicon is a controlled disclosure document, not a public tutorial.
Framework Memoranda
Methodological orientation and analytical sequence
These memoranda establish interpretive posture and analytical precedence. They are illustrative and non-operational. No formulas, thresholds, or classification triggers are disclosed.
These documents precede both the Notes and the Lexicon taxonomy. Operational doctrine remains disclosed exclusively in The Forensic Lexicon (Vol. I).
Taxonomy
ABSA uses defined language to prevent interpretive drift.
The Lexicon is organized around a small set of structural categories. These categories are not “topics.” They are analytical boundaries that determine what can be concluded from filings and what must remain unclaimed.
Category
Constraint
Obligations, rigidity, and temporal distribution—what the structure cannot negotiate when conditions tighten.
Category
Refinancing Dependence
The degree to which survival requires continuous access to external capital markets, rather than internal sufficiency.
Category
Classification
A structural taxonomy (Class I–V) describing states of discretion and constraint—conceptual on this site, operational in Vol. I.
Operational definitions, thresholds, and classification triggers are intentionally withheld from the public library.
Public Registry
Structural classification under the ABSA framework is recorded publicly in the ABSA Scale Registry . The Lexicon governs terminology, sequence, and admissibility. It does not publish applied classifications, registries, or issuer-level outcomes.
Selected Terms
Preview entries (conceptual, non-operational).
The entries below illustrate the Lexicon’s posture: precision of meaning without operational disclosure. Public-facing terms are intentionally limited. Full definitions, constraints, and governance remain confined to Vol. I.
Entry
WITHHELD
Liquidity vs Solvency
Liquidity is a snapshot condition. Solvency is a structural property. ABSA treats them as non-substitutable.

WITHHELD
Self-Financing Capacity (SFC)
A concept describing the degree to which an entity sustains its capital needs internally, under constraint.

Refinancing Dependence
A structural condition in which continuity depends on external markets rather than internal sufficiency.

WITHHELD
Structural Discretion
The retained ability to choose under stress: postpone, reduce, reallocate—without forfeiting continuity.
Entry withheld from public library
Controlled Disclosure
The Lexicon is the doctrine. The site is the perimeter.
The public library establishes conceptual boundaries and corrects common analytical inversions. The operational doctrine— formal definitions, constraints, and classification governance—resides exclusively in The Forensic Lexicon (Vol. I).
