How it bears on the outcome
| Explanation | Fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| O0 No meaningful speed-up | Fits weak | A call on banks to withhold financing is a statement of intended friction, consistent with slower building but not itself an obstacle observed to work. |
| O1 Faster, but the extra output goes mostly elsewhere | Neutral weak | The letter says nothing about where output would go; fits equally. |
| O2 Faster, and more volume reaches the US (this level or higher) | Neutral weak | No bearing on volumes reaching the US; fits equally. |
| O3 Locked-in preferential terms for the US | Neutral weak | No US preferential term is involved; the letter addresses private lenders in several countries. |
