Credit and Position Monitoring — Watching the Thesis Over Time
Underwriting is the decision to do a deal; monitoring is everything after — watching whether the thesis still holds as the world changes, the borrower performs or deteriorates, and covenants tighten or breach. It's traditionally periodic, manual, and uneven, which means problems get noticed late. AI makes monitoring continuous: reading every update, tracking every covenant, and flagging variance from the original thesis the moment it appears. This post is about building the monitoring layer.
Monitoring is the long aftermath of a deal — watching whether the thesis still holds as the world changes. AI makes it continuous: reading every update, tracking every covenant, flagging variance from the thesis the moment it appears — attacking the classic failure of problems noticed too late. The make-or-break is signal over noise. (Educational, not financial advice.)
