Mortgage Loan Workflow Engine with Fallout Prediction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The mortgage loan origination process is labor-intensive and costly, often leading to delays and increased borrowing costs due to the manual management of numerous loan applications, which can deter potential homebuyers and discourage refinancing.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented mortgage loan application data processing system featuring a workflow engine and workflow analysis logic that automates task management, document processing, and prediction of application fallout, reducing the need for manual intervention and streamlining the loan origination process.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual management of loan applications is used, then flexibility and personal attention to each application can be maintained, but labor intensity and processing time increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces manual mechanical management of loan applications with an automated computer-based system that uses electronic workflows, databases, and algorithms to process applications, thereby eliminating labor-intensive manual operations while maintaining systematic control and tracking
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service capabilities where borrowers can electronically submit applications and required documents through online portals, and the system automatically routes, tracks, and manages applications without requiring constant manual intervention, allowing the system to serve itself in processing routine tasks
2Ease of operation
If manual tracking of loan application tasks is used, then personalized follow-up is possible, but delays occur due to human forgetfulness and high volume
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements automated feedback mechanisms where the system continuously monitors application status, automatically generates reminders and notifications to relevant parties, and provides real-time status updates, ensuring that no task is forgotten and delays are minimized through systematic follow-up
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an automated intermediary layer consisting of computer-based task management workflows that mediate between application submission and processing, automatically tracking required documents, assigning tasks to appropriate personnel, and monitoring completion status without relying on human memory or manual follow-up
3Productivity
If automated underwriting engine is used, then underwriting recommendations are obtained quickly, but additional document verification and processing steps are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the automated underwriting engine with integrated document management and verification workflows into a unified system, where underwriting recommendations and document processing requirements are generated and tracked together, eliminating the need for separate manual coordination and reducing overall system complexity despite the multiple functions involved

AI summary
A computer-implemented mortgage loan application data processing system comprises a workflow engine and workflow analysis logic. The workflow engine has stored therein a list representing tasks that need to be performed in connection with a mortgage loan application associated with a lender. The workflow engine is configured to prompt users to perform the tasks and to track performance of the tasks. The workflow analysis logic includes fallout prediction logic configured to receive status information from the workflow engine concerning status of the tasks that need to be performed in connection with the mortgage loan application. The workflow analysis logic is configured to predict a probability of fallout for the mortgage loan application based on the status information.
