PSC Demand vs Capacity

PSC's pay-forward expectation aligns with capacity growth, minimizing stress periods.

Alignment Capital Insight

The Education (Student) lifecycle has a Δ (decoupling) of 100 indicating significant timing mismatch between when support is needed and when repayment capacity exists. Traditional loans demand repayment immediately, creating 8 years of financial stress. PSC's pay-forward model waits until capacity develops, reducing stress to 0 years. This is why PSC achieves a Λ (alignment) score of 0%.
