Console (beta)
Each lender's value for the same loan, when the debt comes due and who holds the bonds, side by side.
How Console works →Credit & Fixed Income
Who lent to whom, at what spread, and how every lender marks it — plus bond holders, maturity walls and dated distress signals, each resolved to the borrower and cited to the filing.
Most direct-lending borrowers are private middle-market companies with no press, no rating and no quote. The loan terms and the marks are public — in BDC schedules of investments, fund holdings and 8-Ks — but nobody reads them together. The record is filed. It is just scattered.

Distress Signals
The scenario
You are pricing a new facility and want to know how other lenders are marking this borrower — and its peers — today.
How Kaleidoscope helps
The scenario
A name in your book just got marked down by one lender and you need to know whether the others will follow.
How Kaleidoscope helps
The scenario
You are screening for the next restructuring before the headline, and need dated signals rather than a score.
How Kaleidoscope helps
The scenario
You need to size exposure to a lender or a regional bank, from its own filings rather than a rating.
