Calculates the distribution waterfall in a retirement planning fund from total proceeds, showing LP return of capital, preferred, catch-up, and carried interest allocation. The distribution waterfall is the contractual priority of how proceeds flow — the order (return of capital → preferred → catch-up → carry split) determines the economic outcome for each party.
