I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but if I set Capacity Retained to 100% then no matter what I set the other values to a bunch of countries deplete their reserves.

This feels wrong; but I'm inclined to think I'm missing something.

Fair point. Actually this is both a semantics oversight on my part and also expected behaviour. at 100% retained there's no shock, but the model's countries target consumption plus a large safety buffer, and some can't fill that target even in peacetime, so they draw reserves at baseline, the shock scenarios show the additional damage relative to that baseline
