Challenge
Incomplete applications and weak lender-fit matching drove unnecessary declines and rework before files reached underwriting.
Approach
We ran a data quality rebuild with hygiene gates, lender-fit pre-checks, and field standards so reps submit complete, matchable files upstream of underwriting.
Solution
Hygiene gates, lender-fit logic, and field standards moved data quality checks to the point of submission. With reps submitting complete, matchable files, the decline rate dropped roughly thirty-five percent as more applications arrived clean and lender-aligned.
