Return threshold
عتبة العائد
Definition
The return threshold is the minimum return a riyal must clear for a given use, such as a branch, a channel or a brand launch, approved before the money is committed rather than justified after it is spent. Capital is released from the top of the next-riyal list until either the threshold or the cash runs out.
In plain words
The least a project must promise to pay back before you spend a riyal on it.
