With private AI agent automation
Model anchors
  • Document intake / classification: ~30 min/loan manual → seconds with automation (Ocrolus, Lean Six Sigma case studies)
  • Data extraction from pay stubs, W-2s, bank statements, tax returns: 2–3 hrs manual → < 2 min automated (Docspire, Ocrolus Inspect)
  • Document indexing & classification alone can save ~2 hrs/loan; HomeTrust Bank reported 8,500 staff hrs and $90K/yr recovered
  • Overall per-loan processing time drops 40–90% at AI-mature lenders (Ocrolus, Deephaven)
  • Cross-system re-keying scales with LOS + portal count — each additional system adds ~8 min/loan of manual data movement
  • Compliance / QC tasks automate partially — human-in-the-loop stays for exceptions
  • Loan economics default to $900 gross loan value, split $600 processor variable comp and $300 firm net margin — adjust Advanced inputs to match your firm's splits
