The problem

Why this exists

Quarterly

Monitoring waits for the review cycle

Signals sit unread between reviews. A slipping current ratio in an interim statement becomes a loss before anyone opens the file.

Scattered

The evidence lives in five places

A missed covenant certificate, a bank statement anomaly, a supplier dispute in the local press — each in a different system, none connected.

Months later

Reasoning reconstructed for examiners

Watchlist moves change provisioning and reporting. When the rationale lives in email threads, defending it later is archaeology.

How it works

File in. Answer out.

  1. 1

    Ingest

    Pull financial statements, covenant certificates, bank statements, and adverse news for every exposure in the portfolio.

  2. 2

    Extract

    Read metrics and covenant terms from any format and normalize them into a consistent, comparable structure.

  3. 3

    Detect

    Compare each exposure against your policy thresholds and flag deterioration signals as they appear.

  4. 4

    Route

    Move flagged exposures into a structured watchlist workflow with the evidence attached.

  5. 5

    Decide

    An analyst reviews the flag, checks the cited sources, and approves or dismisses — nothing moves without a human.

Who it's for

Built for the people who own the outcome

Portfolio analyst

Review flags with the evidence already attached.

  • Each trigger opens to the exact statement line or clause that produced it
  • Covenant terms and ratios normalized across borrowers and formats
  • Dismiss or escalate in one governed workflow, with the reasoning recorded

Head of credit risk

Earlier signals, consistent handling, across the whole book.

  • Continuous monitoring between review cycles, on every exposure
  • Your policy thresholds applied identically to fifty names or fifty thousand
  • Deterioration surfaces while restructuring options still exist

Risk governance & audit

A watchlist record that survives an examiner's questions.

  • Every trigger, metric and classification carries its citation
  • No exposure changes status on model output alone — an analyst decides
  • The audit trail writes itself as the work happens, not after

Deterioration rarely announces itself. It shows up as a missed covenant certificate, a slipping current ratio buried in an interim statement, a supplier dispute in the local press. When monitoring depends on quarterly reviews and analyst bandwidth, those signals sit unread until they become losses. Watchlist & Early Warning Intelligence reads them continuously.

What it does

The solution ingests the documents and data that describe each exposure — financial statements in any format, covenant compliance certificates, bank statements, loan agreements, and external news. Agents extract the metrics that matter, normalize them across borrowers and formats, and test each exposure against the thresholds your credit policy defines. When a signal crosses a line, the exposure is routed into a structured watchlist workflow: flagged, scored, and packaged with the evidence that triggered it.

Every data point is linked back to its source. An analyst reviewing a flag can click through to the exact statement line or agreement clause that produced it. No guesswork, no reconstructing the reasoning after the fact.

Why governed matters here

A watchlist entry is a credit decision with regulatory weight. Moving a borrower onto — or off — a watchlist changes provisioning, reporting, and relationship handling, so the reasoning has to survive an examiner’s questions months later. That is why the platform enforces two things without exception. First, every trigger, metric, and classification carries its citation, so the audit trail writes itself as the work happens. Second, no exposure changes status on model output alone: the agent detects and routes, an analyst decides. Policy-governed workflows keep the process consistent across the portfolio, whether you monitor fifty names or fifty thousand.

Credit, risk, and operations teams get the same thing from it: earlier signals, consistent handling, and a defensible record — instead of a spreadsheet someone updates when they have time.

Objections, answered

What teams ask us first

How do I trust an automated deterioration flag?

Every flag carries its evidence: the statement line, covenant clause or news item that crossed your threshold, linked and openable. The analyst reviewing it checks the cited source directly — no re-deriving, no taking the model's word for it.

Our credit policy defines the thresholds. Can the system apply ours?

Yes — your policy is the configuration. Ratio definitions, covenant tests, trigger thresholds and escalation paths are encoded from your credit policy, so detection is your standard applied continuously rather than a vendor's opinion of risk.

Will this stand up to a regulatory examination?

The audit trail is produced as the work happens: every trigger, metric and classification carries its citation, and every status change records the named analyst who approved it. Reconstructing the reasoning months later means opening the record, not the inbox.

How long to get the portfolio under monitoring?

Days for the first exposures. Statements, certificates and agreements ingest in the formats you already hold, thresholds are configured from your policy, and monitoring begins as documents land — no system replacement, no data migration project.
