Covenants, triggers and undertakings buried across the facility agreement, intercreditor agreement and security documents are captured in one structured view.

Built for SA documentation

It handles LMA-based SA law facility agreements, JSE Debt Market note programmes and SA security such as cessions in security, pledges and mortgage or notarial bonds.

A clear audit trail

Amendments, waivers and consents are tracked against the original terms, so you always know which version of a restriction applies.

Built for leveraged and corporate finance bankers, debt fund managers, borrower treasury teams and transaction lawyers in South Africa.

Complete covenant extraction

Extracts financial covenants, undertakings and compliance triggers from facility agreements, including LMA-based SA law forms, note programmes and sale agreements.

Threshold and trigger identification

Captures numerical thresholds, calculation methods and trigger events for each covenant, ready for ongoing compliance monitoring.

Cross-document consistency checks

Compares terms across the facility agreement, intercreditor agreement and security documents, such as cessions, pledges and bonds, to find conflicts or gaps.

Covenant hierarchy mapping

Maps hierarchies, subordination and intercreditor relationships in complex debt structures, showing which restrictions take precedence.

Amendment and waiver tracking

Identifies every amendment, waiver and consent to the original terms, creating an audit trail of how restrictions have changed.

Deployment

Runs inside the tools your team already uses

The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.

Model Context Protocol

In the frontier assistant you already pay for

We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.

How your data is handled

DATA SECURITY & PRIVACY

Your facility agreements stay yours.

The agent runs inside your tenancy, reads only what each task needs, and never trains on your facility agreements. Every step is logged so your auditors can see exactly what it touched.
