OVERVIEW

The municipal new issue market runs on pricing scales. These scales set investor expectations, guide distribution, and define final pricing. But most scale creation remains fragmented, manual, and time-consuming.

Scale Writer changes that. Purpose-built for bankers, underwriters, and municipal advisors, it streamlines scale creation, editing, and distribution across the entire issuance lifecycle — from indicative to final pricing and post-issuance analysis. With flexible benchmarking and seamless integration into SOLVE’s municipal suite, Scale Writer delivers consistency, accuracy, and transparency to one of the most critical steps in municipal finance.
