Solution Overview

Problem

Consumers face challenges in optimizing financing for commodity purchases due to credit score impact from loan inquiries, lack of integrated communication between sellers and banks, and sub-optimal loan terms, leading to a frustrating buying experience.

Innovation Solution

A multi-lender architecture with a vault that segregates data by lender, using interactive microservices to assess consumer-specific credentials against custom lender-specific requirements, guiding both parties through prequalification, eligibility, and pricing for a seamless purchase process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If multiple lenders access consumer data simultaneously, then loan assessment efficiency is improved, but data security and lender confidentiality are compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloan assessment efficiencyVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments consumer data into multiple encrypted copies, each accessible only to specific lenders through isolated computing environments. The vault divides the consumer's financial profile into lender-specific portions, allowing simultaneous access by multiple lenders without compromising security, as each lender receives only the data segment relevant to their assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The vault acts as an intermediary between consumers and multiple lenders, managing data distribution and access control. It intermediates the data flow by encrypting consumer information and selectively decrypting it for each lender's computing environment, enabling efficient multi-lender assessment while maintaining security through centralized mediation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If consumer data is shared with multiple lenders, then loan term optimization is improved, but information confidentiality between lenders deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloan term optimizationVSAvoidlender proprietary information confidentiality
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Each lender's computing environment is configured with local quality - specific decryption keys and access permissions tailored to that lender's needs. The vault implements different access levels for different lenders, allowing each to view and process consumer data according to their specific lending criteria while preventing access to other lenders' proprietary algorithms and decision-making logic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments information access by creating isolated computing environments for each lender. Consumer data is segmented into lender-specific views, and each lender operates in their own encrypted sandbox where they can optimize loan terms using their proprietary methods without exposing their algorithms or criteria to competing lenders.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If a centralized system processes all lender operations, then system complexity is reduced, but access control and data isolation become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem architecture complexityVSAvoidaccess control management
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The vault implements a universal access control mechanism that handles multiple lenders' operations through a single standardized interface. It provides multi-functional capabilities by managing encryption, decryption, and data distribution for numerous lenders using the same core infrastructure, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining granular access control through standardized protocols.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

The system and methods described herein allow users to give their applicant information to at least one entity when seeking to submit an inquiry associated with an item, and have various lender microservices run in parallel, segregated by entity, in a jailed environment. The result of these microservices may be returned as a response to the inquiry, being determined autonomously for each respective entity based on one or more respective rule sets or executable logic for each respective entity. Payloads for multiple entities may be combined in a single output from the jailed environment due to outputs from the environment being encrypted in a universal format.
