## Method and limits

Projects sheet as published, with notes aggregated per project. The exit year assumes the standard 7-year credit period from origination; actual put dates follow each deal. The credit value is the statutory 39 percent of the QLICI amount.

Not the QALICB borrower names (the CDFI Fund does not publish them) and not deal documents. Not allocation awards to CDEs (that is the CDFI Award Ledger). No personal data.
