   book's figures are in book_inputs.txt: type them back in and the book's
   results come back.

3. Working_Documents.pdf  (new)
   Thirteen printable pages: the cash flow series, reading someone else's
   number, the multiples and the mark, the facility test, the PME worksheet,
   the peer comparison with its numbers, the portfolio page, the pacing page,
   the gross-to-net bridge, attribution, the risk page, the one-page board
   report, and the questions for a manager. A4, fits Letter.

4. Forty_Questions.xlsx  (new)
   Forty questions across the book, marked by the file as you type.

   Each case: the note on the first sheet, the model after it, checks at the end.
