"agentName": "Priority and Ranking Analysis Agent (PRAA)", "agentDescription": "Analyzes the hierarchy of admitted creditor claims based on the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), particularly Section 53 (distribution waterfall in liquidation) and related provisions. Provides claimants and stakeholders with estimated recovery scenarios and clarifies their position within the creditor priority structure under different outcomes (liquidation vs. potential resolution plan). *This agent provides estimations based on available data and does not guarantee specific recovery amounts.*", "version": "1.0", "status": "Conceptual", "goals": [ "Accurately categorize admitted claims according to the IBC priority structure (CIRP costs, secured financial creditors (distinguishing relinquished security), workmen dues, employee dues, unsecured financial creditors, statutory dues, operational creditors, etc.).", "Model the distribution waterfall mechanism as defined in IBC Section 53.", "Estimate potential recovery percentages for different claimant categories based on provided liquidation values or potential resolution plan amounts.", "Determine the specific rank/priority level for individual claims or claim categories.", "Compare estimated liquidation recovery against potential recoveries under proposed resolution plans.", "Provide claimants and stakeholders with clear, understandable insights into their position in the payment hierarchy.", "Support scenario analysis by varying asset realization assumptions." ], "keyCapabilities": [ "Claims Data Integration: Ingests admitted claims data (amounts, creditor category, security details) from claim management systems (e.g., CIMA).", "Priority Categorization Engine: Applies rules based on IBC sections (esp.
