The Excel exit ramp for fund compliance
Spreadsheet-based compliance tracking breaks between 20 and 50 borrowers. Workbooks drift, formulas error silently, threshold changes happen with no audit log, email chasing consumes the team. CapitalBridge is the structured platform that replaces all of that: audit trail, automated covenant recalculation, counterparty self-service portal, and Excel ingestion to preserve everything you already have. 2-4 week migration, parallel running for one reporting period, then go-live.

The pattern: works fine, then suddenly does not
Spreadsheet compliance tracking scales linearly until it does not. The break point is usually 20-50 borrowers. Symptoms: workbooks diverge across team members, formulas silently error, threshold changes leave no record, audit findings reveal gaps no one can explain, and somebody quits because compliance review is now a 50-hour week.
- Per-borrower workbooks drift, no consistent definitions
- Threshold changes happen in cells with no audit log
- Trend analysis requires pivot tables every reporting period
- No headroom monitoring, breaches discovered after the fact
- Email chasing for missing data is a full-time job
"We knew Excel was broken. We just didn't know how broken until the auditor asked us to reconstruct the threshold history for one borrower and we couldn't."

"The gap between a $200K enterprise platform and a shared spreadsheet should not be this wide. We built the thing that belongs in that gap."
