Verified analysis summary
What you are being asked to decideCash was exhausted, interest was due the next week, and more than 200 jobs depended on one negotiation.
Cost of getting it wrongA concession on rate or term may still fail if nobody accepts the monitoring burden that makes the rescue governable.
Marcus · DecisionReframe from financing price to a governable rescue arrangement.
Evelyn · Evidence & riskThe stated bank position does not explain why viable term concessions remain blocked.
Sofia · Stakeholder impactDelay threatens jobs, but an unowned monitoring regime can recreate the crisis.
Minerva Team's provisional judgmentThe negotiation focused on term and rate while the hidden blocker was who would carry ongoing monitoring responsibility.

Put monitoring, information duties, and exception handling on the negotiating table as an explicit responsibility draft.

The question only you can resolveWho will own monitoring, information duties and exceptions after the rescue?

What would reverse itIf the bank's binding concern is loss exposure rather than monitoring, restructure collateral and viability terms first.
