frameforma
Qualitative assurance for private credit and risk transfer

Structural integrity for asset-based finance

Cashflows and waterfalls model what the economics do assuming the transaction protections work. FrameForma tests whether they will. Its knowledge graph traces the documents, counterparties, controls, timing and regulatory conditions those protections depend on, from initial structuring through renewal, acceleration and change.

Built for the parts of a deal that spreadsheets do not capture

Stakeholder diligence

Diligence through the incentives, authority and interests of each actor whose performance the structure relies on.

Example

The amendments undertaking permits changes to the loan documents 'except to the extent prohibited by the debt investment supplement'. That frames the control as a list of exceptions, which favours the obligor and is exposed to circumvention. The investor position is no amendments without consent, other than as specifically permitted, or immaterial, or required to maintain regulatory compliance.

Structuring

Design enhancements to fit the conditions, parties and controls that carry the risk.

Example

Home loan deposit financing sits behind a relationship bank that funds the balance of the mortgage debt. The priority agreement ranks claims on the mortgage. It does not address the bank's other credit cards or personal loans to which obligor payments can be applied before reducing secured debt, or set off rights which apply ahead of the deposit financier's claim.

Scenario analysis

Test what happens when every participant behaves in its own interest.

Example

On default, the premium funder relies on brokers cancelling funded policies and directing insurers to refund unearned premium to the funder. But the broker's duty is to the insured, and the insurer's cancellation conditions may require a power of attorney that the funder's delegated click-wrap lending terms did not effectively create. SME insureds may not have the technical expertise to intercept the refund, but an administrator, liquidator or tax authority might.

Findings
  • Indivisible security interestsThe partial assignment of a single yacht bailment facility within a multi-facility bilateral loan, guarantee and security agreement does not support legal assignment on title perfection. The guarantee is the hook to the security. Its partial assignment cannot be perfected. The asset opinion confirms that the bilateral agreement can be assigned but is silent on partial assignment. A security trust could have been used to facilitate divisible interests. Introducing one at this stage may have adverse tax, duty and hardening consequences.Exposed

Measure against policy positions

You define what good looks like. FrameForma tests every transaction against it. Your credit policy, preferred positions, covenant floors and risk standards or tolerances connect to the policy framework to guide the agents in evaluating deals. Each structure is measured against your investment and risk management criteria. Develop policies for specific markets, instruments or syndicates with our policy builder, then apply them to your current book and future pipeline.

  • Policy-driven scoring
  • Gaps surfaced with profiles against policies, precedents and proposed credit memo decision requests
  • Risk profiles recognise counterparty, documentary, adviser and regulatory reliance

Monitor what the structure relies on

After closing, FrameForma watches the assumptions and qualifications that the structure depends on. Regulatory reform, counterparty changes, adviser concentration and quality, market practice and compliance events are mapped back to the protections and transactions they may affect, so the team can see what changed and where that change matters.

Each deal makes the next one smarter

FrameForma remembers what your team learned, including exceptions, negotiated compromises and outcomes, and brings that context into the next deal. Your portfolio develops into a compounding knowledge graph. It connects mandates, policies and investment decisions to the terms, controls, obligations and monitoring through which they are implemented, while retaining the reasoning, exceptions and outcomes that shaped each deal. A transaction bible records what was done. The Lattice shows you why.

  • Every transaction adds to the Lattice, turning deal experience into durable, institutional knowledge.
  • A mandate becomes a network of implementation evidence: what was negotiated, by whom, under what constraints, and why.
  • That network turns back into useful judgement, surfaced in the context of the deal you're working on now.

FAQ

Questions about FrameForma

What does FrameForma do?

FrameForma tests whether and how credit transactions perform by undertaking granular analysis of features, through the lens of relevant actors, in each case to examine the purpose for which they were designed against the circumstances in which they might be used. Its knowledge graph traces the documents, counterparties, controls, timing and regulatory conditions each protection depends on, and surface where those dependencies break. They evaluate whether protections survive the bridge between the legal structure and the technology that implements it.

How does it work with quantitative cash-flow or waterfall models?

Models show what the economics do assuming the transaction protections work. FrameForma works through the dependencies to establish what needs to be and remain true for that to happen. It establishes the conditions a quantitative model should be run against.

How is FrameForma different from conventional advisers?

Internal teams have breadth and institutional knowledge, but limited time. In many cases, external advisers have a deeper bench but work with a fixed scope, and transaction timelines set constraints. FrameForma sits between them, persistent through the life of the deal and working to your policy. Its tools help you to develop, refine and maintain your risk allocation matrix to acknowledge the level of acceptance of business, compliance and legal risk.

How is FrameForma different from general purpose AI models and customised asset monitors?

FrameForma uses frontier AI models, but the model is one part of the system. A general-purpose model can read a document and reason about a question. Custom models support covenant monitoring, underwriting, operations and portfolio management. FrameForma is designed to do the additional work required to support the analytical layer in asset-based transactions that exists between gaps in interdependent systems. Trace protections across documents, identify the parties and controls they depend on, test qualifications and overrides, compare findings against investment policy and transaction precedent, and preserve the evidence and reasoning behind each conclusion. That context persists beyond a single prompt or transaction. As deals are reviewed, FrameForma builds a structured record of accepted positions, recurring exceptions, counterparties, regulatory dependencies and decision history to assist on the next deal. The product is the analytical framework, institutional context, evidence trail and workflow that turns general-purpose intelligence into repeatable structural assurance. That last mile integrates a portfolio and decision history in the deal flow.

What are the AI capabilities?

FrameForma builds a knowledge graph uses synchronised agents to build, test and monitor transactions against dependencies. They persist in your transaction file to build context that takes account of your risk matrix, approvals, market insights and relationships. Use them to customise your institutional policy and customise workflows to identify potential issues and stress-test solutions. The harnesses can be natively deployed behind and above your information barriers to coordinate approved team engagement.

Are the AI tools customisable?

Yes. When your team sets a focus on the basis of an accepted or qualified risk, the knowlege graph will conform to that focus and optimise for alignment with your stance. You can use the policy builder to design or review a policy for institutional, asset class or counterparty specific frameworks or dependencies.

Which structures and asset classes are covered?

Asset-based finance, capital relief and risk transfer in general, with expanding capabilities across funding facilities, capital markets, receivables purchase and portfolio acquisitions. FrameForma has developed frameworks covering consumer, corporate, digital infrastructure, real estate, alternative and non-performing assets in jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand and England. FrameForma also supports hybrid and tokenised structures where conventional assets, contractual rights, collateral or payment obligations interact with digital-asset and programmable-settlement infrastructure - it currently has a pilot tracking the parameters of one of the twenty cases examined in Project Acacia.

What happens with our data?

We run FrameForma in your environment. Our model trains on public and synthetic datasets (unless we have made a separate agreement to access private data sets for core model development). You control the exposure and terms on which we access your data. The pilot agreement sets out details.

What does the Lattice depict?

Every deal adds context to the Lattice, turning transaction history into institutional knowledge that can inform the next one.

What is your security and compliance program?

FrameForma is currently in beta and is being made available only for controlled pilots under direct agreements. It is not yet represented as having completed the security certifications or compliance programs that would be required for full enterprise deployment.

The production architecture is designed for resilient institutional use, including:

  • Deployment. Enterprise deployments support architectures that minimise the movement of confidential transaction data outside the customer’s controlled environment and are contained by custom information barriers.
  • Data sent to FrameForma. FrameForma will receive only the information required to perform the analysis and provide the service. Deployment and integration options are designed to limit transfer of source documents and sensitive data to the minimum required for the specified task.
  • Retention. Customer data is subject to defined training, retention and deletion policies, with enterprise configurations that support granular consents and requirements.
  • Model training. Customer documents, transaction data and outputs will not be used to train shared models or improve models for other customers without the customer’s express agreement.
  • Access controls and auditability. Production deployments include role-based access controls, authentication, logging and auditable records of system and user activity.
  • Compliance and certification. FrameForma does not currently claim certifications such as ISO 27001, ISO 42001 or SOC 2. Appropriate security controls, testing, documentation and certification will be implemented as the product progresses from controlled pilots to enterprise deployment.

Pilots are conducted in sub-schemas and on terms that set out specific security arrangements.

How do we get started?

FrameForma is in private beta. Get in touch to define a pilot that tests the tool against a segment of your existing book, policies and practices (which will run in a privately controlled environment).
