How our methodology works

Our methodology combines rigorous data validation, scenario-based modeling, and transparent documentation, uniquely tailored to the challenges of private credit risk.

01 Step 1: Data integrity and preparation
Analytics team reviewing charts together

Source integrity

We begin by validating all data sources, applying strict checks for consistency, completeness, and source reliability. This foundation reduces the risk of error propagation in subsequent modeling stages.

Data preparation

Raw data is standardized and mapped to our modeling framework. Outliers and missing values are addressed methodically, ensuring the foundation is robust before any risk calculations begin.

Factor identification

Preliminary risk factors are extracted using both statistical and scenario-based techniques, focusing on illiquidity and credit event drivers unique to private credit markets.

Peer review

Each step receives peer review from both internal and external specialists, ensuring methodological rigor and alignment with current research.

Stepwise breakdown: from data validation to scenario analysis

1

Step 1: Data sourcing and validation

Data validation and baseline audit: Ensuring reliable model input

Every project starts with comprehensive data validation. The team audits data sources, resolves missing or inconsistent entries, and applies standardization protocols. Peer review is conducted before modeling begins, with all findings documented for transparency. The process reduces risk of error propagation and supports regulatory compliance. This stage is essential to establish a reliable baseline for subsequent risk modeling steps.

Initial data validation typically takes two to four business days, depending on portfolio complexity and data quality. All results are shared for client review before advancing.

Prioritize complete and consistent data at the outset to minimize model risk and improve audit outcomes.

Step 2: Portfolio modeling and scenario design

Framework adaptation: Building portfolio-specific scenarios

With validated data in place, we adapt risk modeling frameworks to the specific portfolio, emphasizing illiquidity, credit event sensitivity, and scenario construction. Model assumptions are disclosed, and stress scenarios are developed in collaboration with clients. Each framework is tailored to capture exposures unique to the client’s holdings. Peer review ensures the relevance and technical accuracy of outputs.

Framework adaptation and scenario modeling require client engagement and two peer review checkpoints. Full transparency is provided on methodology and scenario rationale.

Engage stakeholders early for more meaningful scenario analysis and increased acceptance of results.

Step 3: Validation, reporting, and archival

Validation, documentation, and ongoing support

The final stage involves comprehensive review, documentation, and archival of all deliverables. Regulatory requirements and new research are incorporated through scheduled peer review cycles. Documentation is organized for future reference and potential audits. Clients receive a summary report detailing assumptions, findings, and limitations. The process concludes with a review of opportunities for ongoing enhancement.

Final documentation and client reporting are completed within three business days. All records are securely archived and accessible for regulatory review as needed.

Maintain organized, accessible documentation to support audits and facilitate future model improvements.

Our modeling process at a glance

    01

    Initial data sourcing and validation

    We begin by sourcing data from vetted providers and internal audits. Datasets are checked for consistency, reliability, and regulatory compliance before entering the modeling process. Missing values and anomalies are resolved using documented protocols.
  1. 02

    Data standardization and mapping

    Standardization aligns all data formats, flags outliers, and sets up the modeling environment. This ensures that every input is fit for scenario analysis and reduces the risk of model error propagation.
  2. 03

    Scenario-based modeling and adaptation

    Custom modeling techniques are applied to capture illiquidity, credit events, and unique portfolio characteristics. Scenario layers reflect diverse market conditions, supporting both routine and stress event analysis.
  3. 04

    Full-process documentation

    Documentation at every step supports traceability and external audit. All assumptions, calculations, and data sources are recorded and made available for review by clients and independent experts.
  4. 05

    Peer review and regulatory updates

    Peer review is built in. All frameworks are reviewed by sector specialists and updated to reflect current research and evolving regulations, reducing the risk of bias and out-of-date assumptions.

How we compare

How our approach differs from legacy models

Our methodology integrates independent validation, data integrity, and scenario analysis, diverging from legacy risk practices. Where traditional approaches often rely on static models or incomplete datasets, we apply adaptive frameworks and regular peer review. The outcome: dynamic risk measurement that reflects evolving market realities.
