Solution Overview

Problem

Lending processes, particularly for mortgages and personal loans, are fragmented and manual, lacking integration across loan types, which prevents economies of scale and increases processing time and complexity.

Innovation Solution

A digital lending platform with a lead management system that includes a lead intake engine, phone system, and loan origination system, utilizing modules for data enrichment, deduplication, validation, scoring, and automated dialing to streamline the lead processing and loan origination, ensuring compliance with telecommunications regulations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual processes are used for loan application processing, then flexibility and customization for different loan types can be maintained, but processing time and complexity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidprocess complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the loan processing workflow into distinct modular components: lead intake engine for data collection, lead processing module for data enrichment and validation, scoring algorithm for lead qualification, dialer system for contact management, and loan origination system for final processing. Each module handles specific tasks independently, enabling parallel processing and reducing overall complexity while improving throughput.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The lead management system implements a universal architecture that handles both secured and unsecured loan types through the same processing pipeline. The lead processing module, scoring algorithm, and dialer system serve multiple loan types simultaneously, eliminating the need for separate manual processes for different loan categories and achieving economies of scale.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If fragmented manual processes are used for different loan types, then specific loan requirements can be addressed, but economies of scale cannot be achieved

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveloan type flexibilityVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a universal lead processing module that accommodates both secured and unsecured loan types through a common interface and standardized data structures. The scoring algorithm and dialer system universally process all lead types, while configuration settings allow adaptation to specific loan requirements, thereby achieving both versatility and efficiency.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system utilizes parameter-based configuration to adapt the universal processing framework to different loan types. By changing parameters such as scoring criteria, contact preferences, and underwriting thresholds rather than restructuring the entire process, the system maintains high processing efficiency while accommodating diverse loan requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If automated systems are implemented for lead processing, then processing speed and efficiency improve, but compliance with telecommunications regulations becomes more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelead processing speedVSAvoidregulatory compliance
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary compliance actions by integrating TCPA compliance checks directly into the automated dialing process. The dialer system is pre-configured with compliance rules that automatically verify consent status and call timing before initiating contact, ensuring regulatory compliance is built into the automation rather than added as a separate constraint.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Disclosed herein is a lead management system including, in some embodiments, a lead intake engine, a phone system, and a loan origination system. The lead intake engine includes a lead processing module configured for processing sales leads, which includes enriching original data of at least some incoming sales leads with complementary data, as well as algorithm-based scoring of the sales leads. The phone system includes a dialer configured to dial phone numbers for the sales leads from one or more dialer tables of the phone system sorted in accordance with the scores of the sales leads by the lead intake engine. The loan origination system is configured to create a sales-purposed record in a sales database for each sales lead up to at least a time of the dialer dialing a phone number associated with the record. The lead management system is optimized for speed-to-contact with telecommunications regulatory compliance.
