The problem

It costs ~$9,000 to originate a loan — mostly processor and underwriter labor against codified guidelines — and any model-driven decision invites fair-lending scrutiny.

What you get

Documents are classified, income/assets verified, and eligibility decided against agency guidelines straight-through; the DE underwriter signs the approval and clear-to-close.

The flow

Intake to outcome. 🤖 steps run automatically; 🧑‍⚖️ steps are where a named human signs off the judgment calls.

Human checkpoints

  • DE-authorized underwriter — A DE-authorized underwriter signs the approval and clear-to-close

The autopilot escalates the judgment calls to a qualified human — the rest is straight-through.

Why it's safe to let it run

Every autonomous decision is logged — who · what · confidence. Signed human checkpoints and a built-in compliance reviewer enforce the rails, so the outcome holds up to an audit, not just a demo. Every irreversible action runs only after a human signs — the autopilot does the volume, never the point of no return on its own.

🧑 Accountable owner: DE-authorized underwriter — one person answers for what this autopilot does.
