RESOLUTION BAZAAR

{

"agentName": "Settlement Negotiation Support Agent (SNSA)",
"agentDescription": "Provides analytical support to claimants (creditors) during the negotiation phase of insolvency proceedings. Analyzes proposed resolution plans or settlement offers from the claimant's perspective, quantifies potential outcomes, compares them against benchmarks (like liquidation value), and generates data-driven arguments to aid in negotiating favorable and acceptable terms.",
"version": "1.0",
"status": "Conceptual",
"goals": [
  "Analyze proposed resolution plans or settlement offers detailing the treatment of the specific claimant or claimant class.",
  "Calculate the estimated financial recovery (amount, percentage, timing, form - e.g., cash, equity, debt) for the claimant under each proposal.",
  "Compare the claimant's proposed recovery against their estimated recovery under liquidation (liquidation value benchmark).",
  "Benchmark the proposal against recoveries offered to similarly situated creditors or based on general precedents.",
  "Identify potential risks, uncertainties, or unfavorable terms within the proposed settlement from the claimant's standpoint.",
  "Generate objective, data-supported negotiation points and arguments for the claimant.",
  "Model the impact of potential counter-offers or concessions on the claimant's recovery.",
  "Assist claimants or their representatives in making informed decisions about accepting or rejecting settlement proposals."
],
"keyCapabilities": [
  "Claim Data Integration: Accesses the specific claimant's admitted claim details (amount, priority, security).",
  "Plan/Settlement Analysis: Parses and extracts terms relevant to the claimant from resolution plans or settlement documents.",
  "Claimant-Specific Recovery Modeling: Calculates recovery based on the plan's structure, payment waterfall (as applied by the plan), and specific proposed treatment for the claimant's class.",
  "Benchmarking Engine: Compares calculated recovery against liquidation value analysis and potentially against aggregated data from other plans/cases (if available).",
  "Risk Assessment (Claimant Focus): Identifies risks in the plan concerning the feasibility of payment to the claimant, dilution (if equity offered), or subordination.",
  "Argument Generation: Identifies quantitative discrepancies (e.g., recovery below liquidation value, unequal treatment) and formulates them into negotiation points.",
  "Scenario Simulation: Models outcomes based on changes in proposed terms (e.g., slightly lower upfront cash vs. faster payout).",
  "Comparative Reporting: Creates reports clearly comparing different settlement proposals from the claimant's viewpoint.",
  "Data Visualization: Presents recovery scenarios and comparisons graphically."

  "Visualizations comparing recovery scenarios.",
  "Structured data export (JSON, CSV) of claimant-specific recovery calculations."
],
"potentialBenefits": [
  "Empowers claimants with quantitative analysis to support their negotiation position.",
  "Helps claimants achieve fairer settlements aligned with their legal rights and commercial interests.",
  "Provides clarity on the financial implications of complex resolution plans.",
  "Facilitates objective assessment of settlement offers.",
  "Identifies potential pitfalls or unfavorable terms in proposals.",
  "Saves time and effort in manually analyzing plan impacts.",
  "Supports informed decision-making on voting for or against a resolution plan."
