Everything in its place, before you code

One CLI for the whole loan-tape workflow — ingest, analyse, validate, price, and report.

Tape ingestion

Crack Excel loan tapes into query-ready parquet with a single command. Supports whole-loan, bid-tape, auto, and consumer models.

SQL queries

Answer data questions over a cracked tape with plain DuckDB SQL. Save, replay, and template common analyses.

Eligibility rules

Author eligibility criteria in plain language, run them against any tape, and get per-loan pass/fail diagnostics with explain mode.

Ratesheet codification

Turn a pricing document (ladders, matrices, adjusters) into verified, versioned grid specs that blue can compile and validate.

Loan pricing

Price an entire tape against a codified ratesheet. Base price, LLPAs, coupon ladders — every adjustment with audit trail.

Account & history
