Loan Covenant Compliance Reviewer
A borrower current on every payment can still be in default — if debt-service coverage slips below the covenant minimum or leverage runs past its cap, the loan is in technical breach even while checks clear on time. This assistant reads each borrower's financial statements against the loan agreement, recomputes the covenant ratios, and flags every breach with the figure and the clause behind it. Each review lands as one row with a compliant, breach, or escalate decision for a credit officer to confirm.

How it works
- A borrower's quarterly or annual financials come in — balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, and a compliance certificate — and trigger the assistant.
- It reads each figure against the loan agreement, recomputes the financial covenants (debt-service coverage, leverage, current ratio, minimum liquidity), and checks reporting and capex limits.
- It returns a decision — compliant, covenant breach, or escalate — with each breached covenant, the computed figure against its threshold, and the clause behind it.
- Every review lands as one row in your queue for a credit officer or portfolio manager to confirm.

Frequently asked questions
Does this assistant automatically send breach notices to borrowers?
No, it never sends anything. It flags breaches and recommends a decision (compliant, breach, or escalate) for a credit officer to review and confirm before any action is taken.
What financial ratios does it check?
It recomputes debt-service coverage, leverage, current ratio, and minimum liquidity, and also checks reporting and capex limits against the loan agreement.
Do I need to connect it to my bank or accounting software?
No, it works entirely within your Gaia workspace with no external connections. You input the borrower's financials and loan agreement data directly.
Can it handle different covenant definitions across multiple loans?
Yes, it reads each loan agreement individually and recomputes the specific covenant ratios and thresholds defined in that agreement.
How does it handle borderline cases where the ratio is close to the threshold?
It flags any figure that falls below or exceeds the covenant minimum or cap as a breach, and presents the exact computed figure and the clause for the credit officer to decide if escalation is needed.
