Risk, Limits, and Concentration Framework
attnCredit manages risk through policy-bounded underwriting plus deterministic servicing controls. The objective is controlled loss behavior under stress, not discretionary reaction.
1. Risk types
- Cashflow risk Revenue declines, volatility shocks, or unstable fee continuity.
- Concentration risk Overexposure to one borrower, source, or correlated cohort.
- Control-integrity risk Routing changes, signer/config drift, or policy bypass attempts.
- Liquidity risk Redemption and funding pressure at credit pool level.
- Operational risk Execution delays, monitoring faults, or incident response failures.
2. Facility-level limits
Each facility is bounded by policy limits such as:
- borrowing base from trailing collectable fees,
- volatility and concentration haircuts,
- utilization ceiling and mandatory paydown windows,
- max outstanding and draw cadence constraints,
- reserve and DSRA requirements where applicable.
3. Lane-level and portfolio limits
- Pump lane
- lower borrower caps,
- tighter concentration bands,
- faster throttling and stricter freeze thresholds.
- Settlement lane
- conservative concentration profile,
- stronger reporting/covenant expectations,
- slower but stricter governance-controlled parameter changes.
No early commingling: lane limits and credit pool accounting stay separate.
4. Deterministic control modes
4.1 Throttle mode
Activated when risk worsens but remains serviceable. Effects:
- draw availability reduced,
- sweep intensity increased,
- step-up privileges suspended.
4.2 Freeze mode
Activated when risk exceeds safe operating range. Effects:
- new draws blocked,
- routing and sweeps continue,
- operations constrained to servicing and cure actions.
4.3 Default/acceleration mode
Activated when cure conditions fail or severe events occur. Effects:
- all eligible routed fees prioritize repayment,
- policy-defined acceleration behavior applies,
- recovery and resolution actions are logged and reported.
5. Trigger classes and governance
Trigger classes include:
- fee drawdown and volatility shocks,
- concentration breaches,
- routing/signing integrity failures,
- covenant breaches and unresolved exceptions.
Governance scope:
- parameter bands and cap updates,
- reserve policy,
- lane-level risk budgets,
- incident and drill standards.
6. LP impact model
- Losses and recoveries are reflected at credit pool level.
- attnUSD holders are exposed according to credit pool composition.
- There is no implied principal guarantee.
