Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If applicants provide documentation repeatedly for each organization, then each organization can validate documents independently, but this increases time consumption and frustrates applicants
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary document validation and creates a verified document profile before the applicant applies to multiple organizations. The validated document data is stored and can be automatically retrieved for subsequent applications, eliminating the need to repeatedly upload and validate the same documents.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital copy of validated document data that can be shared across multiple organizations. Instead of requiring physical or digital document uploads to each organization, the system generates and shares verified document copies through standardized data exchange protocols.
2Adaptability or versatility
If organizations use different formatting protocols and validation requirements, then each organization can maintain its own standards, but this increases system complexity
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a universal document validation platform that can handle multiple organization-specific formats and requirements through a single interface. The platform maintains a library of organization-specific protocols and automatically selects and applies the appropriate validation rules based on the target organization, eliminating the need for separate systems for each organization.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a standardized intermediate data format that sits between the applicant's document submissions and organization-specific validation requirements. Documents are converted to this intermediate format for validation, then transformed into organization-specific formats, reducing complexity by decoupling the validation logic from organization-specific requirements.
3Measurement precision
If manual document validation is performed, then validation accuracy can be maintained, but this reduces productivity and increases processing time
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces manual mechanical validation processes with automated machine learning models and optical character recognition (OCR) technology. These automated systems can analyze documents, extract data, and validate information with accuracy comparable to human reviewers while processing documents at much higher speeds and volumes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements self-validating document structures where documents contain embedded metadata, digital signatures, and standardized fields that automatically verify their authenticity and completeness. The validation system reads these self-contained markers to quickly assess document validity without requiring extensive manual review.
4Ease of operation
If demographic data is collected for decision-making, then personalized service can be provided, but hidden biases can adversely affect certain applicants
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and separates demographic data from the core lending decision-making process. Demographic information is collected for personalization and communication purposes but is explicitly excluded from credit evaluation algorithms. The system maintains separate data streams where demographic data is used only for customer service customization while financial decisions are based solely on objective financial metrics.
Data Source
AI summary
A platform which provides a system and method for intelligent document processing with anomaly detection and predictive analysis comprising a user interface which allows platform users to upload documents, a data acquisition engine that leverages one or more machine and/or deep learning algorithms to classify, validate, and enforce compliance of the uploaded documents, and an artificial intelligence engine that constructs and maintains the models developed from the machine and/or deep learning algorithms. The platform may utilize various bespoke APIs to integrate validated data with third-party systems when an authorized entity initiates the process. The platform can function as a system of record and central, secure repository for an applicant's documentation and information required for various application processes. In some embodiments, the platform utilizes a trained generative AI model to assist platform users and to provide predictive analysis responsive to user submitted queries.
