Problem
Infrastructure project financing suffers from a $3.7 trillion annual pricing gap because investors rely on static documents and outdated rating methods, leading to high diligence failure rates and delayed capital deployment.
Solution
Hyve delivers an AI‑driven credit rating infrastructure that evaluates physical‑asset deals in real time. Its NEXA engine ingests eight streams of due‑diligence data, scores risk across eight standardized dimensions, and produces a transparent, auditable HCR score on a 0–100 scale—comparable to a FICO score for infrastructure. The platform flags missing information and specific gaps, enabling developers to address deficiencies before banks are engaged. The resulting HCR rating feeds a capital layer that provides prime‑brokerage rails, allowing rated projects to be financed instantly through instruments such as MTNs, TRSs, and PPNs. This end‑to‑end system turns qualitative risk assessments into a single actionable metric and accelerates capital movement at public‑market speed.
Target Audience
Primary users are institutional investors, banks, and asset managers that allocate capital to physical‑asset projects, as well as project developers seeking a fast, standardized path to financing.
