Covenant testing

Athena reads a credit agreement and every amendment, states the financial covenants currently in force, and tests them against each quarter’s borrower financials with the calculation shown and every definition cited to its clause. An analyst approves before anything is escalated.

Input · what Athena does · output
  1. Input

    A credit agreement with its amendments, the borrower’s financials and compliance certificate.

  2. What Athena does

    Stacks the amendments in order, extracts each covenant, its thresholds and defined terms, spreads the financials, runs the test, and reports headroom and trend.

  3. Output

    A covenant test table with the calculation, every add-back and cap cited to its clause, and flags for anything within your tolerance.

Where a person decides

An analyst approves every result before it is relied on or escalated. Athena does not decide whether a waiver is warranted.

What customers say
“It's good to understand the capability of the platform. That how far, and how quickly you guys can get these things going [...] that has been impressive overall.”
VP-level AI leader · A Fortune 500 retailer
“Lets us get a lot more out of our data than [...] We can sit on top of all of the data in [our data warehouse] as opposed to just, like, our little ingested, you know, three gigabytes semantic models. I think we have a lot of power here.”
Analytics lead · A Fortune 500 retailer
“Gave Athena the spreadsheet, explained which column I was trying to figure out, and then ten secs it told me... exactly how the calculation was based on the other data.”
Analyst · A global manufacturer
“He wrote the entire stuff. By itself. And I was there, and I was thinking, alright. If I had to write all this stuff, I mean, I would've spent days, days, days.”
Manufacturing analyst · A global manufacturer
“I send that to the programmer and he said, alright. I read your file. I copied the section of the code because he has the right interface, and it works. Wow. Just like magic.”
Manufacturing analyst · A global manufacturer
“One workspace. All different, let's say, avatars of their output data. Right? Suddenly, it's dashboard. Excel is here. PowerPoint is when it's all together. It's very impressive.”
Global Sustainability lead · A global manufacturer
“Use the Athena platform probably closer to the concept and how it was designed, like, with the spaces architecture where you've got a set of primitives and capabilities, and you bring together the right set of capabilities to solve a task.”
Audit lead · A global professional services firm
“Digital worker, it gets spun up, it gets given access to the toolkits that it needs. It gets given access to the data that it needs. Just exists for the period it needs to exist to perform the task. And then it gets torn back down again afterwards.”
Audit lead · A global professional services firm
“I like that direction, that concept of the agent is the agent. It becomes an entity in its own right with its own ownership and its own missioning, and you get rid of the gray area and the blurry lines.”
Audit lead · A global professional services firm
“It was PowerPoint... there was no kind of distinction between the two. So that was killer. And I literally had a meeting on it today, and people said how great it was.”
Sales analyst · A global CPG provider
