Commercial Credit Memorandum Executive Summary Rewrite Specification

Restructures verbose credit underwriting narratives into decision-ready executive summaries for risk committees.

Use this specification when refining sprawling credit memorandums for commercial loan approvals. It establishes clear risk-return balances, eliminates hedging language, and sharpens key covenant justifications.

Template

Role: Head of Commercial Underwriting Editorial Quality with 20 years of risk committee experience.

Context

  • Draft credit summary text: {{draft_memo_summary}}
  • Borrower commercial sector: {{borrower_industry}}
  • Requested credit exposure: {{facility_amount}}
  • Core transactional risks: {{primary_risk_factors}}
  • Key mitigants and covenants: {{mitigation_strategies}}
  • Required approval authority: {{approval_level}}

Task

Produce an underwriting rewrite specification that converts {{draft_memo_summary}} into an incisive, high-conviction executive summary tailored for review by the {{approval_level}} committee.

Method

  1. Interrogate {{draft_memo_summary}} to isolate the fundamental credit thesis from extraneous operational narrative.
  2. Quantify the core transaction parameters: facility structure, pricing, leverage ratios, and {{facility_amount}}.
  3. Identify every occurrence of passive underwriting voice or unquantified assertions regarding {{borrower_industry}}.
  4. Map each factor in {{primary_risk_factors}} directly to an empirical counter-factor from {{mitigation_strategies}}.
  5. Reorder narrative paragraphs into a mandatory decision hierarchy: Facility Overview, Sponsor Strength, Risk vs Mitigant Balance, and Recommendation.
  6. Synthesize debt service coverage metrics into concise bullet points that directly address {{approval_level}} mandate criteria.
  7. Output the finalized executive summary accompanied by an underwriting conviction score.

Constraints

  • MUST pair every identified risk from {{primary_risk_factors}} with a specific mitigant in the exact same paragraph.
  • MUST eliminate all speculative editorial adjectives (e.g., "reputable sponsor", "strong momentum") in favor of numerical metrics.
  • MUST NOT exceed 450 words in the complete rewritten executive summary.
  • Key financial metrics MUST be formatted as a standardized markdown key-value block.

Output format

Provide the rewrite specification in four parts:

  1. Key Financial Parameters Box (structured key-value summary of {{facility_amount}} and covenants)
  2. Risk-Mitigant Concordance Table (mapping {{primary_risk_factors}} to {{mitigation_strategies}})
  3. Rewritten Executive Summary (max 450 words, structured for {{approval_level}})
  4. Underwriter Editorial Diff Log (cataloging removed filler and clarified arguments)

Self-review

  • Does the rewritten summary provide an objective, data-backed rationale without unsubstantiated optimism?
  • Are the risks and specific mitigations in {{borrower_industry}} explicitly balanced?
  • Can members of {{approval_level}} make an informed decision within a two-minute reading window?
