Explanation:
Reverse stress testing starts by assuming a specific catastrophic outcome (such as the failure of the firm or bankruptcy) and then works backward to identify the scenarios, vulnerabilities, or circumstances that could cause this outcome. This approach often involves qualitative analysis to uncover hidden, unmeasurable, or compounding risks that might not be captured in standard historical or macroeconomic stress tests.
