Overview
The purpose of the Deal Manager is to consolidate all documents related to a deal onto a single page. Deals include not only cash flow agreements and amendments but also fee letters, commitment letters, side letters, and more. Centralizing these documents enables a comprehensive deal-level analysis, allowing you to see how each document affects the most current cash flow agreement. Organized by document type for easy navigation, the Deal Manager ensures that every detail is at your fingertips, making complex deals easier to manage and review.

Tabs
Main
The Main Page houses all instruments included in the deal and reference information such as the agreement type, document type, and execution date. Additionally, the agreement score is also available on this page for easy access.
Term Analysis
The Term Analysis tab provides a detailed breakdown of key concepts within each document related to the deal. Use the search bar to locate specific terms or apply filters to refine results by concept type (e.g., deal, document, loan), prevalence, favorability (borrower, lender, or neutral), concept score, and whether concepts are found, absent, or amended. Filters can be applied on different levels, for example, from deal to deal or from deal to documents.
By default, the page displays the Analysis on the left and the Enhanced View on the right.
The Analysis is organized by document type and concept group. You can toggle between List View and Column View to suit your preference. In List View, the content is presented in a cascading structure: agreement type > concept group > concept > document. In Column View, the document type is displayed at the top as columns, and the concepts on the left, allowing a side-by-side comparison between participating documents in the deal. Clicking any value in the analysis will take you directly to the relevant clause in the Enhanced View, highlighted in green for easy reference.
Each relevant concept is displayed with a score, prevalence, and favorability indicator on the right-hand side. To explore a concept further, click the three-dot menu under Action and select Go to Term Benchmark or click on Prevalence.
The Enhanced View is a digitized copy of the analyzed document(s). Icons on the right-hand side offer additional viewing options. For example, the spacing icon allows you to adjust line spacing in the Enhanced View to Normal, Compact, or Comfort formats. Next to each section, a green bar includes a three-dot menu that lets you copy a line, audit it to its source, or share the location with others who have Street Diligence access.
The Enhanced View also includes embedded hyperlinks for one-click access to definitions and section references. Clicking a hyperlink opens a small window at the bottom of the screen with the full definition of the term as it appears in the document.
