§1Context and challenge

Context and challenge

A lender receives loan applications with supporting documents: identity documents, payslips, bank statements, business registrations. Analysts re-type key fields into the loan system and cross-check them by eye.

The challenge

Reduce the manual handling without reducing control: every extracted value must be traceable to its source, uncertain cases must reach a person, and sensitive documents must stay within approved infrastructure.

What changes

Faster, more consistent application processing, with analysts' time spent on the decisions and exceptions rather than on typing.

What we deliver

Process analysis, the AI document pipeline, an evaluation framework and the analyst review interface.

§2Solution and architecture

Our solution.

A document pipeline that classifies each upload, extracts the fields the credit policy needs, validates them against each other and against registries, and assigns a confidence score. High-confidence, consistent files go straight to the analyst's decision queue; anything uncertain or inconsistent is highlighted for review, with each value linked to the place in the document it came from.

Document pipeline

Document pipeline. Components:

  • Uploads (source): Portal · branch scan
  • Classify (process): Document type
  • Extract (process): Fields + source
  • Validate (process): Cross-checks
  • Decision queue (output): Straight-through
  • Analyst review (people): Low confidence
  • Loan system (store)

Connections:

  • Uploads to Classify
  • Classify to Extract
  • Extract to Validate
  • Validate to Decision queue
  • Validate to Analyst review
  • Analyst review to Loan system
  • Decision queue to Loan system
Reference architecture, adapted to your systems.

§3Engineering decisions

The decisions that matter.

  1. D1

    Measure before automating

    An evaluation set of real, anonymized files is built first, so accuracy per field is known before any file skips review.

  2. D2

    Every value has a source

    Extracted values keep a link to the page and region they came from, so analysts and auditors can check them in one click.

  3. D3

    Confidence routes the work

    Thresholds per field and per document type decide what goes straight through, and they are tuned from production corrections.

  4. D4

    Deployment matched to sensitivity

    Model hosting is chosen with the risk team: private deployment of open models where documents may not leave approved infrastructure.

§4Implementation approach

Implementation approach

  1. 01

    Assess

    Sample applications, map the fields the credit policy uses and how they are checked today.

  2. 02

    Evaluate

    Build the evaluation set and measure extraction accuracy per field and document type.

  3. 03

    Integrate

    Connect to the loan system and launch the review interface with conservative thresholds.

  4. 04

    Improve

    Use analyst corrections to raise accuracy and widen straight-through processing safely.

§5How we measure success

The measures we agree with you before we start, and report against.

  • Field-level extraction accuracy against the evaluation set
  • Share of applications processed without manual re-typing
  • Analyst time per application
  • Errors caught at validation versus later in the process
