cas dégradé

First, even if the source text is about valuing a business (not 'valuating', BTW), business case analysis is a common part of such a process.

Second, who said anything about "worst case" being automatically right? I certainly didn't. I just said that, in my opinion, it's the best fit. You don't have to agree, but at least don't misrepresent me.

your ST seems about valuating a business, not quite the same as making a "business plan".

BTW predicting "the worst-case scenario" ain't rocket science - company goes belly-up, simples ... somehow, I wouldn't think that's what they had in mind ...

Just because a term is quite used and seems to vaguely fit the ST doesn't make it automatically right.

Since the "cas dégradé" appears to be the worst scenario listed, "worst case scenario" is still the best option IMO.

You're right Phil, particularly as the business plan is included in a company valuation report. Here's the sentence:
La fourchette de valorisation de XX ressort entre 1 500 XX et 2 200 XX hors upside et entre 1 900 XX et 2 500 XX avec upsides. Elle a été établie sur la base du *cas* central du Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) sur les 2 scénarios de BP (cas « Management » et *cas « dégradé »* Thanks in advance for any ideas you may have.

I'm not convinced that it necessarily means worst-case, though I'm open to persuasion. Could we have the sentence(s) in which it appears?
