Scenario

This case tests baseline extraction accuracy on a well-structured APLMA term loan credit agreement for Acme Corporation Ltd. The document is a clean, machine-generated PDF with clearly formatted sections, consistent clause numbering, and all 16 required extraction fields present and unambiguous. No OCR noise, no amendments, single tranche. This case establishes the minimum performance floor — a model that fails here is not production-ready.

Known Failure Modes

  • Conflating the commitment fee rate (0.45% on undrawn) with the margin rate (2.20%) — quoting one as the other.
  • Extracting "60 months" as tenor but computing a different maturity date than the one stated in the document.
  • Extracting guarantors as a single entity string rather than a structured list.
  • Missing that the reference rate is "3-month" Term SOFR specifically (not generic SOFR).
  • Citing the signature page for party names instead of the Definitions clause where legal names are formally stated.
