+## 1. Why ‟lbo-stack” matters
+> **“Excel macros don’t scale and black-box SaaS tools miss the nuance.”**  
+> lbo-stack gives investment teams an **open, inspectable, and extensible** engine for modelling  
+> deal-level cashflows **and** fund-level economics—complete with CI/CD, test coverage, and a polished UI.
+
+* **Investor-grade accuracy**  
+  *Cash-sweep hierarchy, LTV & ICR covenants, day-one fees, 100 % GP catch-up, claw-back with interest.*
+* **Quant-speed iteration**  
+  *Vectorised sensitivities & bootstrap CIs run 100× faster than Excel grids.*
+* **Push-button storytelling**  
+  *Streamlit front-end exports an investment memo PDF in one click.*
+* **Battle-tested quality**  
+  *>90 % unit-test coverage, GitHub Actions matrix (3.9-3.12), pre-commit lint, type-hints.*

+
+## 3. Quick-Start
+
+```bash
+# 1 / Install
+pip install lbo-stack[ui]  # pulls Streamlit, Plotly, WeasyPrint
+
+# 2 / Generate sample configs
+lbo init-sample ./configs
+
+# 3 / Run an LBO
+lbo run ./configs/sample_lbo.json -y 7 -o ./results --verbose
+
+# 4 / Open the UI
+streamlit run -m lbo_stack.streamlit_app
+````
+
+> **CI-proof:** `lbo run … --dry-run` validates config without executing simulations—perfect for PR gates.

+## 4. Architecture at a glance

+    subgraph Engine
+      LBO[LBOModel] --> Cash(Cash-Sweep & Covenants)
+      Cash --> Exit[Exit Maths]
+      Exit --> Waterfall(Fund Waterfall)
+    end
+    Engine --> Sensitivity(Sensitivity Grid + Bootstrap CI)

+      CLI -->|json/csv| Results
+      UI --> Memo
+    end
+    Engine --> CLI
+    Engine --> UI
+    Engine --> Tests
+```
+
+*Pure Python, stateless; any step can be swapped for QuantLib, PyTorch, etc.*

+
+| Layer                | Highlights                                                                                                                                  |
+| -------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Deal Engine**      | • Bullet & amort tranches with rate grids<br>• Revolver draw/repay<br>• Cash-sweep cascading senior→junior→PIK<br>• LTV & ICR breach errors |
+| **Fund Waterfall**   | • Ascending hurdles (IRR or simple pref)<br>• 100 % catch-up<br>• LP capital-return gate<br>• Claw-back with simple interest                |
+| **Analysis Toolkit** | • 1-D / 2-D sensitivity (`exit_multiple`, leverage, growth …)<br>• Bootstrap IRR confidence intervals<br>• Plotly heat-map export           |
+| **CLI**              | • `init-sample`, `run`, `waterfall`, `sensitivity` sub-commands<br>• JSON extras passthrough & colourised KPI printout                      |
+| **Streamlit UI**     | • Three-tab workflow<br>• Drag-and-drop tier editor<br>• Colour-coded KPIs<br>• One-click Markdown→PDF memos                                |

+## 6. Benchmarks
+
+| Scenario grid                          | Runtime (M1 Pro) |
+| -------------------------------------- | ---------------- |
+| 50 × 50 → 2 500 sims                   | **0.6 s**        |
+| 100 × 100 → 10 000 sims (parallel = 4) | **1.8 s**        |
+| Bootstrap 1 000 draws, 7-yr CF         | **0.9 s**        |
+
+> **Fast enough to plug into a Friday IC pack on the fly.**
