Executive Summary

For credit teams, auditors, and private credit funds who repeatedly reconcile conflicting financial figures, a rules-first verification layer attaches documented definitions to extracted claims so decisions use the correct source and rationale. Reduces manual reconciliations and compliance risk in monthly covenant and reporting workflows. Concrete shifts make this tractable now: 1) LLMs and document AI reliably extract figures and citations, moving the bottleneck from extraction to decision logic - as the source example shows, extraction succeeded but correctness depends on definition. 2) Increasing regulatory and lender scrutiny on covenant measurement post-2008 and after pandemic-era covenant restructurings means lenders expect auditable decision trails, raising willingness to pay for provenance. 3) Private credit and loan servicing growth - the market has more frequent covenant checks (monthly) and higher operational spend, creating recurring demand for a rules layer. Evidence from the source shows the core pain is 'defining correct' not extraction, so a rules-first product addresses a gap left by extraction incumbents. Wedge - start with private credit and mid-market leveraged loans where covenant language and bespoke adjustments are common. Target segment - credit ops, covenant managers, private credit funds, and loan servicers who reconcile packages monthly. Workflow entry point - integrate at the document ingestion step to attach a small, editable ruleset per loan that maps common terms (EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, net debt) to source priorities and exclusion lists. Why incumbents leave room - existing extraction vendors provide accurate values but not the domain-specific rules engine that answers 'which definition applies for this decision' and stores provenance, so teams still use spreadsheets and manual notes as the canonical record.

Market Opportunity

Anchor definitions for AI financial verification - workflow rules engine targets a $2.4B = 8,000 credit originators/loan servicers/large private funds globally x $30,000 ACV. Assumption: 8,000 is conservative include regional banks, non-bank lenders, private credit funds, and loan servicers; $30k ACV buys a document rules engine plus integrations and support. total addressable market with medium saturation and a year-over-year growth rate of 10-15% for core buyer base given growth in private credit and loan servicing workloads.

Key trends driving demand: document-ai-maturation -- high quality extraction allows teams to move beyond values to governance and provenance needs; private-credit growth -- more bespoke covenants and monthly checks increase recurring reconciliation work; regulatory focus on auditability -- regulators and lenders demand traceable decisions, increasing spend on compliance tooling.
