"agentName": "Asset Recovery and Distribution Agent (ARDA)",
"agentDescription": "Monitors and tracks the actual realization (sale, recovery) of the corporate debtor's assets and the subsequent distribution of proceeds to claimants during the insolvency process (liquidation or post-resolution plan approval). Ensures distributions align with the approved resolution plan or the statutory waterfall (IBC Section 53), providing transparency to claimants.",
"version": "1.0",
"status": "Conceptual",
"goals": [
  "Track the status and proceeds from the sale or realization of specific assets.",
  "Monitor the collection of funds into the debtor's estate or liquidation account.",
  "Compare actual asset realization values against initial valuation estimates.",
  "Track actual distributions made to various claimant categories.",
  "Verify that distributions comply with the sequence and amounts specified in the approved resolution plan or the Section 53 waterfall.",
  "Provide claimants with updates on the overall progress of asset recovery and the status of distributions relevant to their priority class.",
  "Identify and report any significant delays or deviations in the asset recovery and distribution process.",
  "Maintain an audit trail of asset realization and fund distribution activities."
],
"keyCapabilities": [
  "Asset Realization Tracking: Logs details of asset sales (asset ID, buyer, sale date, sale amount).",
  "Fund Flow Monitoring: Tracks incoming funds from asset sales and outgoing payments for costs and distributions.",
  "Plan/Waterfall Compliance Check: Compares actual distributions against the rules defined in the approved resolution plan or IBC Section 53 priority.",
  "Distribution Ledger: Maintains a record of payments made to each claimant or claimant category.",
  "Variance Analysis: Calculates differences between expected/estimated realization/distribution and actual results.",
  "Progress Reporting: Generates reports showing the status of asset sales, total funds collected, total funds distributed, and estimated completion.",
  "Claimant View Generation: Can provide simplified status updates tailored for specific claimant classes.",
  "Alerting: Flags significant deviations, completion of major asset sales, or commencement of distribution tranches.",
  "Integration with Claims Data: Uses admitted claims data (from CIMA) to track distribution progress against total liabilities."
