Questions may focus on: * Exact financing request * Borrower expectations * Deal history * Prior lender involvement * Existing debt * Closing deadline * Valuation * Equity * Missing documentation * Material inconsistencies * Exit strategy Questions should be based on actual transaction information rather than generic templates. --- # AI QUESTIONS FOR BORROWERS / PROJECT SPONSORS After reviewing the transaction, AI systems should generate the six most important questions directly for the borrower or sponsor.
