§ Platform - CORE Underwriting

CORE Underwriting: judgment work that ends in a memo decision.

The underwriting workspace is where confirmed spreads, table evidence, scenarios, capital stack, coverage, policy tests, risk themes, waivers, and memo treatment meet in one borrower file.

Underwriting workbench

Risk work does not end in a rating. It ends in a memo decision.

CORE measures the file against the tenant's own credit box: policy tests, coverage periods, scorecard factors, covenant applicability, waivers, compensating factors, and memo treatment. The policy snapshot, inputs, exceptions, and sign-off stay attached to the project history.

Bound policy, coverage, and risk treatment in one file

§ Judgment Layer

Your credit box, literally yours.

01

Table Evidence

The Excel add-in sends entity-scoped workbook tables into CORE as versioned, reviewed evidence staged for underwriting.

02

Scenarios

Lender base, borrower base, and downside cases carry assumptions, projections, and sensitivity context without becoming disconnected spreadsheets.

03

Capital stack

Facilities, guarantee splits, debt service, rate shocks, and sources-and-uses stay inside the underwriting record.

04

Coverage

DSCR and related tests are measured by the bound policy and period lens, with source context visible when a number is missing.

05

Risk treatment

Risk themes become decisions: carry as risk, accept mitigant, require condition, require diligence, or exclude from memo treatment with rationale.

06

Policy sign-off

Waivers, compensating factors, scorecard factors, and sign-off are saved with policy version, inputs, and recorded-by history.

§ Underwriting System

From source evidence to a signed credit decision.

CORE turns uploaded documents and analyst workbook captures into governed, source-linked evidence, then carries that evidence through financial analysis, structure, coverage, risk treatment, and memo approval.

  1. 01 Ingest

    Document Uploads

    Borrower & analyst supplied

    Uploads are classified, parsed, and converted into source-linked text and, when appropriate, summaries, key facts, and metadata under analyst-controlled review.

    Excel Add-in

    Microsoft AppSource

    Selected workbook tables are captured inside the analyst's own model, preserving rows, columns, formulas, and source range without a rebuild.

    Both paths converge in the governed evidence layer, preserving source trace and review state.

Product Proof

Four credit questions. One governed underwriting state.

The interface is shown selectively: each chapter proves a different judgment job without turning the public site into a complete product manual.

01

Financial state

Establish the financial state.

Confirmed historical performance and scenario projections resolve into one model of cash flow, debt service, and coverage.

  • Historical movement remains visible beside the period values.
  • Lender base, borrower base, and downside cases share the same evidence trail.

02

Capital structure

Structure the credit.

Facility amount, guarantee, seniority, debt service, and balanced sources and uses stay inside the underwriting record.

  • The financing structure remains explicit rather than buried in a memo draft.
  • Sources and uses reconcile the debt, equity, project costs, contingency, and reserves.

Coverage and security

Test repayment and security.

CORE keeps repayment capacity, collateral lending value, and legal perfection connected without collapsing them into one ratio.

  • Policy periods distinguish measured from unmeasured coverage.
  • Security support remains linked to closing and perfection controls.

Policy to decision

Resolve policy into a durable decision.

Analysts turn issues and policy context into mitigants, conditions, diligence actions, memo treatment, and recorded sign-off.

  • The lender's detailed scorecard and covenant catalog remain private.
  • The public proof shows the decision path and durable approval—not the tenant's model.

§ Fit

Underwriting workspace includes

CORE keeps the judgment work visible instead of flattening it into a status column.

01

Workbook-sourced Table Evidence and AppSource Excel add-in path

02

Historical spreads and confirmed metrics feeding policy

03

Scenario pro forma and sensitivity context

04

Guarantee-aware capital stack and debt-service math

05

Coverage, policy tests, covenant applicability, and scorecard factors

06

Risk themes that land as memo decisions with waiver/sign-off history

§ Path

How judgment moves through the file

01

Confirm the underwriting state

Confirmed spreads, projections, and structure establish the metric state that policy tests consume. Source evidence remains attached for review.

02

Bind the credit box

The selected program's versioned policy snapshot applies thresholds, scorecard factors, covenant rules, and waiver treatment.

03

Resolve risk

Analysts decide exceptions, mitigants, conditions, and memo treatment against the bound policy.

04

Draft from the decision

Memo generation carries forward the approved policy and risk state. It does not silently recalculate or override analyst judgment.

§ In Depth

Commercial loan underwriting software that carries the judgment, not just the checklist.

Most underwriting software tracks status. The decision lives somewhere else.

In a typical stack, the loan origination system knows the deal's stage while the actual underwriting — spreads, projections, coverage math, policy exceptions — lives across workbooks, drafts, and email. When committee or an examiner asks how the decision was reached, someone rebuilds the story by hand.

CORE's workspace holds the analysis itself: confirmed spreads, scenario pro formas, the capital stack, coverage tests, risk themes, waivers, and sign-off, all attached to one borrower file with the evidence trail intact.

Your credit box, bound to the deal

Underwriting runs against the lender's own configured policy — thresholds, covenant rules, scorecard factors — applied as a versioned snapshot bound to the deal. The scorecard adopts the tenant's own rating model rather than imposing one: CORE records the lender's values and weights, it does not recreate the model.

Policies can be swapped mid-deal when a lender or capital source changes, with the file re-evaluated against the new snapshot — so "which policy was this decision made under?" always has a literal answer.

Built for complex commercial credit

Multi-entity borrowers, guarantee-aware capital stacks, lender-base and downside scenarios, and policy-measured coverage periods are the normal case here, not an edge case. That depth is what makes the workspace usable for government-guaranteed programs, private credit committees, and LP diligence alike.

Risk work ends in a memo decision

Every risk theme resolves to a recorded decision — carry as risk, accept mitigant, require condition, require diligence — and memo generation drafts from those decisions rather than rediscovering them. Confirmed spreads flow in from the spreading engine with their sources attached.

Bring the credit box your current software cannot represent.

We will walk through how CORE keeps policy, projections, risk, waivers, and memo treatment attached to the same borrower file.
