How it works
Three steps from your documents to knowing where your CDS stands — ahead of an event, or as it unfolds.
Step 1
Upload your case documents
Add the entity, the event and the instruments, then drop in everything you hold on the name.
- Indentures, offering circulars, facility agreements
- Issuer notices, forbearance letters, DC statements, trade confirmations
- Up to 6 instruments and 24 documents per case (12 at a time when adding to a case)
Step 2
Mastermind tests the contract
Each standard deliverability characteristic is checked against your documents (for loans, Assignable Loan and Consent Required Loan are flagged for review, not yet tested), and when the rules can’t settle it, a skeptic pass argues against the conclusion before you see it.
- Currency, maturity, seniority, transferability and more
- Related published cases shown for comparison, where one exists
- When the rules can’t settle it, a skeptic pass argues against the conclusion; each claim is verified against its source
Step 3
Read the answer, with the proof
One assessment per instrument, opened in the same five tabs every time, so a colleague can check it without re-reading the documents.
- Analysis — the assessment, known facts and how the tests reached it
- Contract — each term: what it asks, what your documents say, the result
- Evidence — conclusion → reasoning → evidence → original source
- Open questions — what is missing, contested, or could change the conclusion
- Summary — every instrument at a glance, related cases, memo and JSON export
Your documents stay yours.
The documents behind a CDS position are confidential. Mastermind is built so that what you upload is private by default, visible only to the people you choose, never published unless you publish it yourself, and never used to train anything.
Read more here →Private by default
Only you, and the people you choose, can open your cases.
Encrypted in transit and at rest
Your files and cases are encrypted on the network and in storage.
Never public unless you publish it
Never listed publicly or shown to other customers, unless you publish a case yourself.
Never used for training
Your documents train nothing: not our models, and not our AI model provider's.
Parsed on our own servers
For long documents, such as an indenture, only the sections that state the terms it checks are sent to our AI model provider, which does not train on them. Short documents (under about 60,000 characters) are sent whole.
Deleted when you say
Delete your account and your cases go with it. A case you made public stays public until you ask us to remove it.
