Underwrite with conviction. Monitor for the life of the facility.
The agent reads the borrower data room, drafts the underwriting memo in your house style, and stands up the covenant test that reruns on a schedule. Every leverage and coverage figure on the page opens to the filing or the FactSet line it came from.
Re-derive Consolidated EBITDA per §1.01 and check the leverage covenant.

Re-derived. Reported EBITDA of $58.4M plus $3.1M run-rate savings and $3.1M non-recurring items gives Consolidated EBITDA of $64.6M. Against $302M net debt that is 4.7x — 0.55x inside the 5.25x covenant. Saved as Vantage_Covenant_Q2.xlsx.

The challenge
You underwrite once, then watch the credit for years.
Private credit runs on two clocks: a sprint to underwrite, then quarters of covenant monitoring where a missed breach is a real loss. ArcaLabs unifies underwriting and keeps monitoring running after close, every figure defensible at sign-off.
OnceBefore the close
An underwriting memo in your house style.
Real Word and Excel, not a static export. Working from your golden-copy template, the agent delivers the credit memo, the leverage and coverage model, and the capital-structure summary on format for the committee. These are agent-built workflows on your definitions, not packaged calculators, with every figure traced to source.

OnceBefore the close
Every test opens to its clause.
The agent reads the credit agreement and lifts the operative terms out of the prose: the leverage and coverage tests, the definitions they run on, the reporting deadlines. Every one keeps the section it came from, so when the committee asks how you reached 4.7x net leverage, the answer is the clause that defines it.

The close
Everything above happens once, under pressure. Everything below repeats for the life of the loan, without anyone opening it.
Every quarterUnattended
A covenant test that reruns itself.
Underwriting ends, oversight does not. In the visual builder you assemble the covenant test once: pull the latest financials, recompute leverage and coverage on your definitions, check the credit agreement thresholds, and write a compliance certificate. Run it on a schedule or when the quarterly package arrives. It is an agent-built workflow, not a packaged tracker, so it follows your exact terms.

Re: Project Halyard — Q2 compliance certificate: add-back support
Two items before Friday’s certificate: restate the run-rate savings on the §1.01 definition, and confirm the non-recurring items in schedule 3 — our Consolidated EBITDA nets differently.

SubjectRe: Project Halyard — Q2 compliance certificate: add-back support
Dan — run-rate savings are restated on the Consolidated EBITDA definition in §1.01: the realised cost actions held, the unbudgeted legal accrual excluded.
The schedule 3 non-recurring items net to $3.1m, not $3.6m — the difference is the environmental accrual that reverses in Q3; schedule 3 walks it.

Add-back caps across the bookGlobal · Connectors · FactSet · Creates workflows
Which borrowers use the same run-rate savings add-back, and what cap did we agree?
Four of the fourteen credits in the book permit run-rate savings; three cap them at 15% of Consolidated EBITDA, one at 20%. Vantage sits at the tighter end — the §1.01 cap is 15%. This quarter's add-backs are $6.2M against a cap of $9.7M — well inside, with no look-forward period used.
