Reading it in real life

In practice it reads as things being consumed and not held: bookkeeping, retention and risk control matter more than the name of the marker.

How this site uses it

Used: it appears in chart conclusions as a risk note.

Rule of thumb: these markers are read from fixed classical tables, and the scores and advice come from a separate model. Both are laid out on the site, and neither is a claim about what will happen.

FAQ

The name sounds frightening. Is it a calamity?

It is not a forecast of calamity. The classics used it to describe a structure that dissipates; the practical answer is controlling spending and risk.

Is there a remedy?

The tradition points to steady emolument and conduct. In practice: stable income plus a margin set aside in advance.
