Evals & guardrails

  • Every credit conclusion cites the underlying financial driver.
  • Downside cases stress-tested against covenant breakpoints.
  • The deal-committee agent re-derives and gates the underwriting decision; this agent drafts the analysis only.

Offline reflection

Consolidates deal-committee-agent questions and post-close credit performance to sharpen which risk factors predict stress.

Frontier edge

  • Causal reasoning: counterfactual stress on which risk factors actually drive covenant breach, separating genuine drivers from correlated noise.
  • World-model simulation: simulates the borrower's cash-flow capacity through downside macro scenarios against each covenant breakpoint.
  • Continual learning: eval-gated updates from committee questions and post-close performance (SEAL-style) so the memo flags what predicts stress, no full retrain.
