[003] Decision Engine

What is CANDOR?

The industry’s first and only patented AI-powered underwriting engine. CANDOR automates the complex decision-making that previously required human underwriters — without the inconsistency of humans.

/01

Multi-Loan Type Decisioning

Full automated decisioning on Conventional, FHA, and VA IRRRL loans with a single platform that supports every loan type you originate — including those where you manage the process without full AUS decisioning.

/02

Document Intelligence

Upload, index, and classify loan documents automatically. The engine flags data-validation exceptions in real time, so processors catch discrepancies before they reach the underwriter’s desk.

/03

Integrated Income Analysis

Calculate income natively in-platform or stand-alone — no spreadsheets, no re-keying. Supports W-2, self-employed, gig/variable, rental, retirement/SSN/pension, non-employment, and mixed-income borrowers with GSE-compliant methodology. Freddie & Fannie calculator integration for rep/warrant.

/04

Full Condition Lifecycle Management

Link documents directly to conditions, add comments, and take action — fulfill, clear, waive, edit, or suppress — all within one interface. Conditions are managed proactively, not reactively.

/05

100% Consistency

Every loan scored against the same logic, every time. No underwriter variability, no interpretation drift, no surprises at QC. Same inputs always produce the same output.

/06

Repurchase Defense

Backed by a Lloyd’s of London rep-and-warrant defect policy (data, conditions, income). Every decision is logged, auditable, and defensible — 600K+ funded loans, zero repurchases, 100% claim defense record.
