Key Deliverables

The engagement should produce concrete, reusable assets, including:

• Commercial Lending Lifecycle Blueprint — an end-to-end map of origination, fulfillment, closing, servicing, and portfolio workflows with personas, systems, handoffs, data dependencies, and breakdown points.

• Origination & Fulfillment Workflow Pack — detailed maps for intake, qualification, document collection, spreading, underwriting support, credit-memo preparation, approval, conditions, closing, funding, and boarding.

• Persona & Jobs-to-Be-Done Map — responsibilities, pain points, artifacts, decisions, handoffs, systems, and success metrics for each persona.

• Document & Data Requirement Matrix — required documents, data fields, source systems, and evidence standards by deal type and workflow stage.

• Credit Package / CAM Reference Model — a recommended structure for credit-package outputs: borrower overview, sponsor / guarantor analysis, collateral, financial analysis, risk-rating support, exceptions, conditions, covenants, approvals, and evidence links.

• Policy, Exception & Approval Logic Guide — how lender policy, authority matrices, exceptions, overrides, and approvals should be represented in workflows and AI outputs.

• Conditions & Covenants Playbook — how conditions and covenants are generated, assigned, tracked, escalated, cleared, monitored, and surfaced across origination, closing, servicing, and portfolio.

• Golden Deal Library & Validation Rubric — representative scenarios and expected outputs for evaluating AI performance, SME review, regression testing, and release readiness.

• Servicing & Portfolio Opportunity Map — a prioritized view of post-close workflows where JazzX can create value (payments, rate resets, UCC continuations, modifications, payoffs, covenant testing, annual reviews, watchlist, early warning). Delivered if within the consultant’s expertise.

• Product Readiness Review — an assessment of whether JazzX’s commercial lending workflows, demos, requirements, and outputs are credible, accurate, and ready for customer-facing use.
