CovenantPulse by Acuity Knowledge Partners is a specialized financial risk-management platform designed to track, validate, and analyze loan and debt covenant compliance.

Key features include automated covenant monitoring, covenant definition modeling, headroom analysis, and alert-based risk signaling. The user interface is clean, modern, and dashboard-centric.
