About

Why MASTIX exists

If a risk number changed and you can't say why, you can't defend it. Risk teams shouldn't have to wait overnight to understand a number they need to explain today.

The problem we saw

Most risk platforms were built to produce reports. They weren't built to answer follow-up questions on the same day.

Why we started

Years inside legacy ALM and derivatives systems taught us that bolting more features onto the same foundation wouldn't help. The slow part is the architecture: sensitivities have to come from the valuation itself, in the same pass. Anything else is a workaround.

Why now

Risk teams are under more pressure to explain movements faster, rerun scenarios more often, and defend results in front of more stakeholders. That pressure has increased, but many underlying systems still assume overnight cycles. The gap between the questions teams need to answer and the speed their tooling allows has become too large to ignore.

Risk calculations are complex. The architecture they run on doesn't have to be the bottleneck.

What we built instead

We built the platform around one idea: valuation, sensitivities, scenarios, and attribution should come from the same analytical foundation.

One analytical foundation

Price, sensitivities, scenarios, and attribution come out of the same calculation. There is nothing to reconcile.

Performance that changes workflow

Fast enough that an analyst can re-run a scenario during the meeting that called for it.

Explainability that holds up in committee

Every result traces back to the calculation that produced it. Audit and model governance see the same path the analyst sees.

Built for the questions committees ask

IRRBB, stress testing, model governance, audit. The platform is shaped by the questions these teams have to answer, not just the reports they file.

What MASTIX is today

MASTIX is a software company building a risk analytics platform for ALM, treasury, and derivatives teams. The platform is designed to make valuation, sensitivities, scenarios, and attribution faster, more consistent, and easier to explain.

What we believe

Teams should not have to choose between performance and explainability. We built MASTIX because most platforms still make them.

Talk to the team behind the platform

If your current setup turns every scenario question into an overnight job, we can show you what changes when sensitivities come from the valuation itself.
