How can I describe a contingency without inventing a buffer?
Choose a stated disruption, such as delayed income or an essential repair, and show which expenses remain due.
The aim is to reveal a dependency rather than prescribe one universal reserve.
Record what information is missing and which decisions would need individual advice. A generic percentage cannot establish resilience for every household or agreement.
