### 0.1 Concrete Example Use Case
46+
47+
Let’s say we simulate:
48+
49+
- A lending protocol
50+
- With collateral asset X
51+
- If price volatility > threshold
52+
- Or CEX price deviates from oracle price
53+
- Or reserve ratio drops
54+
55+
Then automatically:
56+
57+
- Increase collateral ratio
58+
- Pause new borrowing
59+
- Trigger circuit breaker
60+
- Notify governance

## 7. Security Considerations
521+
522+
We must restrict:
523+
524+
* Only whitelisted workflows can call RiskGuard
525+
* No arbitrary parameter changes
526+
* Hard-coded max bounds
527+
* Avoid building a governance bypass nightmare.
528+
529+
530+
531+
## 8. Failure Modes & Mitigations
532+
533+
We must anticipate issues.
534+
535+
- Case 1 — API failure
536+
537+
CRE:
538+
539+
* Must fail safely
540+
* If missing data → do nothing
541+
542+
- Case 2 — Oracle glitch
543+
544+
We detect abnormal deviation, but require confirmation across 2 sources.
545+
546+
- Case 3 — Overreaction
547+
548+
We cap:

maxCollateralRatio = 200%

- Stress simulation
