Overview
Delos AI Inc. has build an AI engine that offers 100% accuracy on calculating complex legal clauses that blend math and logic problems. Read more about it here. One example of such clauses are debt covenants in loan agreements. A common occurrence for PE-funded companies, those debt covenants require recurrent calculations (every month or quarter). Their complexity means that many debt funded companies and their lawyers struggle to calculate them correctly. The process is time consuming and error prone.
However, their nature - mixing math and logic - makes them perfect for Delos AI’s engine.

Use Case Details
For this demo we're interested in calculating the "Levarage Ratio". A common debt covenant used in loan agreements. It's purpose is to ensure the company is not taking on too much debt in comparison to its EBIDTA.
To illustrate the use case details we created a mock agreement with 3 key provisions:
- a rule defining the Leverage Ratio - limiting it at 5.00:1.00 of debt to EBIDTA
- a rule defining the EBIDTA for the given borrower
- a rule defining the Total Debt for the given borrower
The agreement itself is a mock one - containing just those 3 provisions. You can find it here. However the provisions themselve are based on real agreements and definitions found in loan agreements.
