Questions, methods and limits.
| Question | Method | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Where do infrastructures share sites and providers? | Mapping from public disclosures | Sites often confidential |
| How far would a participant default propagate? | Network and liquidity simulation | Synthetic networks |
| What does T+1 do to fails and funding? | Review of post-change supervisory reports | Few episodes |
