What is missing
Four functions no single actor performs.
- Aggregation — pooling enterprises so diligence and servicing costs are shared, not duplicated.
- Standardisation — a published readiness benchmark that both sides can prepare against.
- Translation — turning operating reality into an underwritable file, and terms into an action plan.
- Risk absorption — catalytic first-loss that lets commercial capital enter at its own risk appetite.
