When capital is on the line, assumptions are not enough
Capital and financing decisions break down when residual value assumptions are weak.Â

The Decision That Matters
What is this asset actually worth at exit, default, or decommissioning?
Capital providers need to understand
How much value can be recovered in real markets- Whether residual value assumptions support financing terms
- How downside exposure changes due to channel and timing
- Whether capital is being over- or under-protected
How Buckstop Supports Investment Decisions
Buckstop uses residual value indexes and automated reporting to anchor financing models in real transaction outcomes.
Using Buckstop, teams can
- Validate residual value assumptions used in financing
- Stress-test downside exposure across resale, recycling, and scrap
- Quantify capital at risk under different scenarios
- Replace one-off valuation work with repeatable analysis
This allows capital decisions to be based on evidence, not optimism or fear.

Each of these decisions depends on understanding value before action is taken.

Built on Residual Value Indexes, Not One-Off Analysis
At the core of Buckstop is a residual value index that captures real transaction outcomes across resale and scrap markets.
That index powers automated reports designed for capital and finance teams, including:
- Transaction-backed value ranges, not point estimates
- Confidence scoring based on data breadth and recency
- Scenario and sensitivity analysis tied to timing and regulation
- Audit-ready assumptions suitable for credit committees and risk review
The same benchmark can be applied consistently across portfolios and deals.
