The Agentic Bank

Loan Review Agent

⬡ Ledger-Lens Runs periodic and event-driven credit reviews on the lending book.
◆ Supervised Specialist

Spreads the financials, re-rates the borrower against the bank's scorecard, and writes the credit review memo citing the line items that moved the rating. Runs the annual-review queue continuously and flags deteriorating credits as the financials shift.

Episodic The borrower's rating history and prior review findings.
Semantic The bank's rating scorecard, credit policy, and industry benchmarks.

Evals & guardrails

  • Rating recommendations vs. a gold set; the oversight agent's override rate tracked.
  • Hard guardrail: rating downgrades beyond a notch threshold force chief-credit oversight-agent review.
  • Citation discipline … every memo claim links to a source line item.
  • Model-risk validated as a rating input model (SR 11-7).

Offline reflection

Replays credits that later migrated or defaulted as Reflexion-style lessons, sharpening which early financial signals predict deterioration.

Frontier edge

  • Reads filings, audited statements and rate-card PDFs natively (multimodal), pulling figures straight from the page rather than a pre-keyed feed.
  • Counterfactual credit reasoning: simulates how leverage and coverage shift under a covenant amendment or a refinancing before recommending the rating.
  • Eval-gated continual learning: each confirmed migration tightens the spreading playbook, no full retrain.

A sample run

Trigger Annual review due on a mid-market manufacturer; Q3 filing just landed.
  1. 1Spread the new financials; compute leverage, coverage, liquidity trends.
  2. 2Compare against last year's spreads and the industry benchmark.
  3. 3Re-score on the bank's scorecard; check covenant headroom.
  4. 4Draft the review memo with cited drivers and a rating recommendation.
Output A complete review memo recommending a one-notch downgrade on falling coverage, gated by the chief-credit oversight agent; flags a covenant nearing breach for the monitor.
