Institutional Summary | Structural Integrity Diagnostic
Document Ref: SIDR-2026-HEN-002-IG
Audit Standard: BCI Structural Integrity Protocol (BSIP) v2.0
Asset Base Classification: Inter-Generational Contractual Sovereignty
Service Tier: Category C – Structural Integrity
Data Reliability Grade (DRG): Grade A- (Public Filings + Multi-Source Triangulation)
Data Cut-Off Date: 2025.12.31
1. Strategic Anchor
The asset structure of Hennessy is identified as an intergenerational contractual sovereignty. Its structural integrity is determined by the equilibrium between Physical Aging Compounding (TS^n) and Capital-Market Efficiency Expectations (ES).
The governing diagnostic tension is not derived from demand volatility, but from the maintenance of time-structure continuity—ensuring short-cycle turnover velocity does not distort long-cycle asset distribution curves.
2. Quantitative Structural Mapping (Dynamic Methodology)
The asset’s integrity is quantified via the BSIP Dynamic Integral Engine (Formula B):
Methodological Rationale: Formula B captures the cumulative structural trajectory.
Unlike static snapshots, this integral analysis identifies sustained erosion by measuring the persistence of “Time-Depth Dependency.” For spirits, TS^n is non-linearly reinforced via a physical irreversibility coefficient, meaning structural damage from “time-compression” (over-acceleration of turnover) is mathematically difficult to reverse.
| Dimension | Reading | Institutional Definition | Financial Mapping (CFO Interface) |
| MT (Meaning Tension) | 9.4 | Global category gravitational pull. | Pricing premium durability. |
| PL (Perceived Legibility) | 6.2 | Cognitive friction / Distribution depth. | Gross margin layering efficiency. |
| TSⁿ (Time Structure) | 9.7 | Physical aging irreversibility. | Inventory replacement cost elasticity. |
| ES⁻¹ (Energy State) | 8.8 | Capital and distribution leverage. | OPM / Cash conversion cycle. |
3. Reverse Risk & Policy Transmission
- Reverse Risk Profile: Time-Structure Compression. Fragility emerges when turnover velocity persistently exceeds the replenishment cadence of the aging ladder.
- Transmission Velocity: Elevated. Hennessy exhibits higher transmission sensitivity to cross-border taxation and export regimes than diversified FMCG peers, categorized in the upper quartile of the aged spirits class.
- Policy Sensitivity Index: Material exposure to import tariff variance and wealth transparency cycles, buffered by an extensive long-cycle physical stock reserve.
- Cushion Mechanism: Tiered Inventory Segregation. The preservation of high-age sovereignty buffers (Hors d’Âge layers) functions as the primary structural stabilizer against short-term liquidity shocks.
4. Governance Interfaces
- CEO / Board Interface:
- Structural Option: Implementation of an “Aging-Cadence Preservation Corridor.”
- Decision Threshold: Turnover velocity exceeding historical 10-year mean for 3 consecutive cycles.
- CFO Interface:
- Structural Option: Bifurcation of fast-cycle liquidity modeling from long-cycle aging capital logic.
- Decision Threshold: Replacement cost elasticity materially decouples from the inflation baseline.
- Group / Distribution Interface:
- Structural Option: Calibrated distribution leverage within aging continuity constraints.
- Decision Threshold: Operating margin expansion coinciding with significant aging curve compression.
5. Balanced Structural Vector
- Strength Vector: Physical compounding irreversibility; Deep inventory ladder; Institutionalized distribution platform.
- Sensitivity Vector: Velocity-to-replenishment imbalance; Regulatory cost elasticity; Generational narrative transition.
- Inflection Point Reading: Transition to a “Managed Scarcity” regime if Path Gamma (Time Compression) is triggered by efficiency-driven over-acceleration.
