Valuation workflows
Keep debt, equity and warrant marks connected to their evidence.
NSight Private Credit — SBIC Edition organizes supported valuation methods, assumptions, source documents, comparisons and approvals for quarter-end review.
SBIC valuation software supports a repeatable valuation workflow: collect evidence, apply an approved method, review assumptions and movements, and retain the issued workpaper and history.
The operational problem
A mark needs more than a number.
Reviewers need to understand the selected method, the evidence behind key assumptions, the movement from the prior quarter and any difference from an administrator mark. Debt, equity and warrants require different evidence and calculation paths.
NSight keeps the workpaper, source pages, assumptions and approvals together while preserving the distinction between general fair-value workflows and SBA-specific valuation requirements.
Reviewed workflow
From source evidence to a controlled output.
- 01
Collect evidence
Associate borrower performance, instrument terms, prior marks and other approved source materials with the position.
- 02
Prepare a proposed mark
Apply a supported method and assumptions, with calculations that can be rerun from stored inputs.
- 03
Review movement
Compare proposed, administrator and prior-quarter marks and document the reasons for movement or disagreement.
- 04
Approve and retain
Issue the reviewed workpaper with its approval history and pass the approved output into the relevant reporting workflow.
Practical example
The review shows what moved—and why.
For a supported loan valuation, the reviewer can see the proposed mark beside the administrator mark, then trace the movement to approved assumptions and borrower evidence. Equity and warrant workflows retain their own methods, dates and source records.
Actual methods and instrument coverage are limited to the agreed, published scope.
Supported scope
What NSight does—and where people remain responsible.
- NSight supports configured valuation workflows; it does not make an unattended valuation judgment.
- People select and approve methods and assumptions.
- ASC 820 workflows and SBA-specific valuation requirements are presented separately.
