01
The problem

Credit teams spread financial statements and write a memo for every borrower.

£What it was costing them

Senior analyst time spent on spreading and drafting instead of judgement, and slower credit decisions.

One file takes about eight hours: roughly five spreading statements and three writing the memo.

02
The existing workflow

How the work was done, and where it broke.

✕

About eight hours of analyst time per credit file.

✕

Figures are re-keyed from statements, so errors slip in.

✕

Every memo is written from scratch.

✕

Banks want AI that helps the analyst, never one that replaces them.

03
The solution

AI extracts, rules score, the analyst decides. No automatic approvals or declines.

1Read the borrower file

AI reads the statements and documents and drafts the analysis.

2Score with rules

Credit metrics are rated 1 to 7 by rules, so the same filing always gives the same rating.

3Trace every figure

Each number links to its source page, calculation and check.

4Keep the analyst in charge

The tool recommends a next step. The analyst decides.
