What a reference price needs to do

A reference price is not a single number — it is a defensible range supported by assumptions and risk framing.

Boards and investment committees should be able to answer: what could go wrong, how much does it matter, and what levers exist to manage downside.

Common failure modes

Overconfidence in a narrow set of scenarios, underweighting basis and profile risk, and unclear treatment of optionality are frequent issues.

A clean pack separates factual market context from judgement-based adjustments and documents both.
