The problem

Why this exists

Hours

Senior time spent assembling, not judging

Pulling a defensible answer from appraisals, guaranties, and loan documents is slow, senior-analyst work — and it happens before any judgment starts.

Every deal

A different method each time

Assessments vary with whoever wrote them, so collateral strength is never truly comparable across analysts, deals, or the portfolio.

One conflict

Documents that disagree quietly

An appraisal that disagrees with the schedule, or a guaranty that caps lower than the memo assumes, slips through until someone needs the collateral.

How it works

File in. Answer out.

  1. 1

    Intake

    The collateral package arrives as scanned appraisals, executed agreements, and Excel schedules — all formats accepted.

  2. 2

    Extract

    Collateral values, lien positions, guarantor obligations, and structural terms are pulled from the documents.

  3. 3

    Cross-check

    Values and terms are reconciled across documents; conflicts and stale data are flagged.

  4. 4

    Assess

    Collateral coverage, guarantor support, and structure are evaluated against your credit policy.

  5. 5

    Approve

    A credit officer reviews the cited assessment and signs off — nothing is decided by the machine.

One methodapplied across the portfolio

When credit asks what protects the bank if cash flow fails, the answer lives in a stack of documents: appraisals, guaranty agreements, security agreements, title reports, loan documents. Pulling a defensible answer out of that stack is slow, senior-analyst work — and it is done a little differently on every deal. This solution makes it fast, consistent, and auditable.

What it reads

The platform ingests the collateral package in whatever form it arrives — scanned appraisals, executed guaranties, loan agreements, UCC filings, Word memos, Excel schedules — and extracts what the assessment actually needs: collateral type and appraised value, lien position and perfection status, guarantor obligations and the support written into the guaranty language, covenants, and the structural protections embedded in the loan documents. Values and terms are cross-checked across documents, so a valuation that disagrees with the schedule, or a guaranty that caps lower than the memo assumes, gets flagged instead of slipping through.

The assessment it produces

The output is a structured assessment: collateral strength measured against the exposure, guarantor support quantified from the actual agreement text, and loan structure evaluated against your credit policy. Every data point links back to its source page — a reviewer clicks from the finding to the clause or figure behind it. Because the same method runs on every deal, assessments are comparable across analysts, deals, and the whole portfolio, instead of varying with whoever wrote them.

Nothing is decided by the machine. Credit officers review and approve every assessment, and the full trail — what was read, what was extracted, who approved — is preserved for internal review and examiners. Routine assembly work moves off senior analysts, and what reaches the credit committee is a regulator-ready artifact rather than a summary that has to be re-verified by hand.

Objections, answered

What teams ask us first

How do I trust an automated read of a guaranty?

You don't have to take it on faith: every extracted value and clause links to the source page, low-confidence items are flagged, and a named credit officer approves the assessment before it counts. Verification is a click, not a re-read.

Our credit policy defines what a strong structure is. Does it use ours?

Yes. Coverage, guarantor support, and structural protections are evaluated against your credit policy, and the policy logic is configuration your credit team controls — the same standard on every deal.

What do examiners see?

The complete record: source documents, extracted values, cross-checks, the policy evaluation, and who approved it. What reaches the file is a regulator-ready artifact, with its evidence attached.

How long to stand this up?

It reads packages in the form they already arrive — scanned appraisals, executed agreements, Excel schedules — so there is no document-standardization project first. Policy mapping is configuration, tuned with your credit team.
