[GOAL] Produce a final recommendation on whether to approve a controlled go-live of an intraday liquidity dashboard and updated liquidity stress-testing assumptions for a mid-size bank, balancing regulatory expectations, liquidity risk appetite, operational readiness (data feeds, cutover, staffing), and financial impact (implementation budget, run-rate costs, and expected reduction in daylight overdraft fees).

[R0.1] Treasury Risk Manager (speak, public): Let's discuss the controlled go-live of our new intraday liquidity dashboard and updated liquidity stress-testing assumptions. I'd like to understand the operational readiness and any challenges we might face during the cutover.
[R0.2] Liquidity Operations Lead (speak, public): We're planning to go live with the intraday liquidity dashboard on March 21-22, 2026, with a parallel run for 4 weeks. Our pilot coverage is quite robust, covering 92% of payment value with updates every 5 minutes. The team is also adequately staffed with 9 FTEs and an on-call rotation of 1 week in 6. However, I'd like to understand the hard control limits we need to operate within and the governance gates that will determine our switchover.
[R0.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): I'm glad we're discussing the operational readiness. From a financial governance perspective, I need to ensure that we're not overspending on the implementation. Can you both confirm if the one-time implementation budget of $1,260,000 is still on track, and are there any potential complexities that could shift this spend or impact our timeline?

[R1.1] Treasury Risk Manager (speak, public): We've made significant changes to our stress assumptions, with retail stable deposits' 30-day runoff increasing to 5% from 3%, and uninsured corporate deposits' 30-day runoff moving to 25% from 20%. Our average LCR over the last 30 days was 118%, with a minimum of 109%. I'd like to understand from you, Liquidity Operations Lead, how the intraday liquidity dashboard will help us monitor and manage our intraday net debit limit, which is currently set at $450,000,000 with the Federal Reserve. And, Finance Controller, can you confirm if the ongoing costs are sustainable within our current budget, and are there any vendor terms that allow for flexibility in case we need to make adjustments?
[R1.2] Liquidity Operations Lead (speak, public): The intraday liquidity dashboard will significantly enhance our ability to monitor and manage our intraday net debit limit. With real-time updates every 5 minutes and covering 92% of payment value, we'll be able to more effectively track our intraday liquidity position. Our team is also prepared to handle the on-call rotation and manage any issues that arise during the parallel run. However, to ensure a smooth cutover, I need clarity on the governance gates and internal approval cadence that will determine our switchover. Additionally, understanding any supervisory pressure points or escalation triggers related to our intraday liquidity management would be beneficial.
[R1.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): To ensure we're financially controlled and auditable, I'd like to confirm if the Treasury Risk Manager is comfortable with our current liquidity buffer trajectory and if there are any hidden remediation drivers such as unresolved supervisory concerns that could impact our go-live decision. Additionally, can you, Liquidity Operations Lead, confirm if the 9 FTEs and on-call rotation are sufficient to handle the expected operational demands post-go-live?

[R2.1] Treasury Risk Manager (speak, public): To confirm, Liquidity Operations Lead, our intraday monitoring will be enhanced with the new dashboard, and you've planned for adequate staffing. Finance Controller, regarding the financials, I'm still seeking clarity on the flexibility within our vendor contracts and any potential for cost adjustments. Additionally, I'd like to understand if there have been any recent limit-control exceptions that we should be aware of.
[R2.2] Liquidity Operations Lead (speak, public): To address the Treasury Risk Manager's question about recent limit-control exceptions, I can confirm that our current processes are designed to monitor and manage intraday liquidity effectively. However, I must emphasize that the new intraday liquidity dashboard will significantly enhance our capabilities. Regarding staffing, I believe our 9 FTEs and on-call rotation are sufficient to handle post-go-live demands, but I would like to reiterate the importance of understanding the governance gates and internal approval cadence for a smooth cutover.
[R2.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): To confirm our financial readiness, I'd like to revisit the one-time implementation budget of $1,260,000 and the ongoing run-rate costs of $530,000 annually. Are there any potential cost-saving measures or adjustments that can be made to the vendor contract to stay within our budget? Additionally, Treasury Risk Manager, can you provide more insight into any potential supervisory concerns or limit-control exceptions that might impact our go-live decision?

[R3.1] Treasury Risk Manager (speak, public): To move forward, I need to confirm that we're aligned on the operational and financial readiness. Liquidity Operations Lead, can you summarize the key outcomes from your parallel run and any critical issues encountered? Finance Controller, regarding the vendor contract, can you share if there's any flexibility to adjust costs or terms without compromising our service quality?
[R3.2] Liquidity Operations Lead (speak, public): To summarize the key outcomes from our parallel run, we're on track with our planned go-live weekend of March 21-22, 2026. Our intraday liquidity dashboard is performing well, with 92% payment value coverage and updates every 5 minutes. The team is adequately staffed, and we're confident in our ability to manage intraday liquidity effectively. However, I still need clarity on the governance gates and internal approval cadence for a smooth cutover. I'd like to request that we finalize these aspects to ensure a successful go-live.
[R3.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): To ensure we're financially controlled and auditable, I'd like to confirm if we've assessed the potential financial impact of the intraday liquidity dashboard on our daylight overdraft fees. Given our target reduction of 40% and average fees of $75,000/month, can we estimate the expected monthly savings post-go-live? Additionally, I'd appreciate it if you, Treasury Risk Manager, could provide more insight into any potential supervisory concerns or limit-control exceptions that might impact our go-live decision.

[R4.1] Treasury Risk Manager (speak, public): To summarize, we've discussed the operational readiness with Liquidity Operations Lead confirming adequate staffing and a robust parallel run plan. Finance Controller, you've indicated the budget is on track but highlighted the need for flexibility in vendor terms. I'd like to confirm that we've addressed all critical aspects. Liquidity Operations Lead, can you confirm if there are any remaining operational concerns? Finance Controller, regarding the vendor contract, is there any flexibility to adjust costs or terms?
[R4.2] Liquidity Operations Lead (speak, public): To confirm, we've made significant progress in our preparations for the controlled go-live of the intraday liquidity dashboard. Our parallel run is on track, and the team is adequately staffed. However, to ensure a smooth cutover, I need to reiterate the importance of finalizing the governance gates and internal approval cadence. I'd like to request that we schedule a follow-up meeting to confirm these aspects and address any remaining concerns.
[R4.3] Finance Controller (speak, public): To ensure we're financially controlled and auditable, I'd like to summarize our financial readiness. The one-time implementation budget is $1,260,000, and we expect ongoing run-rate costs of $530,000 annually. Given our target reduction in daylight overdraft fees of 40% and average fees of $75,000/month, we expect monthly savings of $30,000 post-go-live. I recommend proceeding with the controlled go-live, provided we finalize the governance gates and internal approval cadence. I'd like to request that we schedule a follow-up meeting to confirm these aspects and address any remaining concerns.
