Next-riyal rule

قاعدة الريال التالي

Canon · Doctrine 2.0Added in version 1.0

Definition

The next-riyal rule is the rule that puts every candidate use of commercial capital on one page, from new branches and refits to launches, channel spend and bridges, ranked by expected return and payback. Capital is released from the top down until the return threshold or the cash runs out; nothing below threshold is funded, whoever sponsors it.

In plain words

List everything you want to spend on, rank it by return, and fund from the top until the money runs out.
