## The problem

### Credit assessment is uneven.

1. **Inconsistent decisions**  
Different analysts apply different standards. Portfolio risk compounds when underwriting quality varies across your team.

2. **Generic models don't fit your book**  
Off-the-shelf credit scores weren't built for your borrower profile. They miss the signals that actually predict repayment in your portfolio.

3. **No feedback loop**  
You generate outcomes data with every loan, but your underwriting logic never learns from it. The same blind spots repeat.

4. **Speed vs. quality tradeoff**  
Scaling volume means either hiring more analysts or accepting lower-quality decisions. Neither is sustainable.

## What it does

### An analyst, in your stack.

Not a black-box score. Kita does the same three things a senior credit analyst does — spreads the financials, reads the story behind the numbers, and drafts the memo. Faster, and at scale.

i. **Financial spreading**  
Pulls statements, GLs, and bank data into a normalized period-over-period spread. DSCR, margin, debt service, trend — all computed in one pass.

ii. **Story behind the numbers**  
Reads the qualitative narrative the spread alone won't tell you — why margins moved, what concentration risk looks like, what an arrears spike actually signals.

iii. **Drafts the memo**  
Produces the credit memo a senior analyst would write — recommendation, evidence, risk notes — every claim cited to a source line. Your team edits, signs, sends.

## Capabilities

### More than a model.

Kita does the work an analyst does — spreads the financials, reads the story behind them, and drafts the memo. Calibrated to your credit policy. Every number traces back to a source line. Nothing is invented.

- Financial spreading — Pulls financials and bank data into a clean period-over-period spread. Ratios, trend, debt service modeled out of the box.
- Reads the narrative — Picks up the qualitative story behind the numbers — concentration risk, seasonality, why margins moved, what late filings imply.
- Drafts the memo — Produces the credit memo your senior underwriter would write. Recommendation, evidence, risk notes, ready to edit.
- Cited to source — Every claim in the assessment links back to the document line that produced it. Audit in one click.
- Calibrated to your policy — Tune the decisioning criteria that matter to your book. Not locked into a generic credit score.
- Adaptive — Recommendation quality improves loan cycle over loan cycle as your portfolio grows.

## Why it matters

1. **Designed for volume**  
Hundreds or hundreds of thousands of applications per month. Scales without adding operational overhead.

2. **Outcome-driven**  
Traditional scorecards are static. Kita learns from what actually happens in your portfolio.

3. **Wires into your stack**  
API-first. Integrates into your existing LOS, credit engine, or custom workflow.

## Underwrite more borrowers. Faster. With cleaner data.
