What did the borrower actually send?

Classify every submitted file, extract the fields underwriting depends on, and keep each value linked to the page and line it came from — before anyone starts the analysis.

What arrives

Nothing arrives labelled. That is the first problem, not a footnote.

A submission is whatever was to hand when it was sent. Twelve of these resolve into something the rest of the platform can work with. Three do not, and what happens to those three is the part worth watching.

What the sort is required to keep

  1. The file as it arrivedUnaltered
  2. Why a type was assignedRecorded
  3. Files with no typeNamed, not guessed
  4. Who decides on thoseA person

Classification is a reading, not a decision. Nothing about a document's type changes what a lender does with the deal, and no file is discarded for being unrecognisable.

Twelve and three, not fifteen. Anything that finds a type for every file it is handed will be quietly wrong about some of them — and quietly is the expensive part, because a wrong type here becomes a confident wrong number four stages later.

An illustrative submission used to show how a file is organised. It is not a customer, a deal or a real borrower package, and no filename or count here describes anybody's business.

Source-linked extraction

Every reading keeps a finger on the line it came from.

Extraction that hands over a value and loses the page is a rewrite, not a reading. Pick a reading and you get the document it was taken from, the page, and the line itself.

Which months the file actually covers, rather than which months it was said to cover.

A structured field with no route back to the page is a claim. A structured field carrying its document, its page and its position is evidence — and only one of the two is worth putting in front of somebody who has to sign for it.

The documents above are typeset illustrations of ordinary document furniture, with every value redacted. They are not screenshots, not real documents, and contain no borrower data.
03

When the type was never the problem

Six files, all read correctly, covering five months.

Getting the type right is not the same as getting the period right. July arrived twice and March never arrived at all — and nothing about correct classification finds a month that was not sent.

The period those six files actually cover

  1. February
  2. MarchNot supplied
  3. April
  4. May
  5. June
  6. JulyTwo exports

Every one of the six was recognised for what it is. The type was never the problem — the period was, and no amount of correct classification finds a month that was not sent.

  1. 01A month that never arrivedNamedStated as a gap. Nothing is interpolated across it, and no average is computed as though the month were there.
  2. 02The same month twiceFlaggedBoth copies kept and the duplicate flagged, because two exports of one month are not always the same export.
  3. 03Pages in the wrong orderReorderedPut back in order by the numbering the document carries on itself, and the reordering is recorded rather than done quietly.
  4. 04A statement photographed rather than exportedPartialRead where it can be read. Pages that cannot be are named as unread rather than filled in from the ones that could.
  5. 05A file nobody can openHeldNamed as unopened and handed over as it arrived. It is not inferred from its filename.
  6. 06A portal screenshot instead of a statementHanded backRecognised as not being a statement, and put in front of a person alongside the three from stage one.

What it will not do about any of them

  1. Interpolate a missing monthNever
  2. Drop a duplicate quietlyNever
  3. Infer a file from its nameNever
  4. Call the submission completeA person

None of these are repaired. They are stated on the file so that whoever reads it next knows what they are working with, and so that a gap is never mistaken for a zero.

Six files, five months. The type was right and the period still had a hole in it — and a hole is only visible if something lines the months up and refuses to fill it in.

An illustrative submission. No detection rate, accuracy figure or completeness guarantee is claimed for any of these conditions, and Cevrynt does not decide whether a file is good enough to fund.

Reviewer control

A structure you cannot correct is not being offered for review.

Three things a reviewer changes, and one rule underneath all of them: a correction adds a line and removes nothing. Apply one and watch the record grow rather than swap.

What a correction cannot do

  1. Delete the original readingNever
  2. Be applied without a personNever
  3. Be reversed out of the recordNever
  4. Change the lending decisionA person

Corrections move in one direction: they add. Cevrynt does not correct reviewers, does not re-open a change a reviewer has made, and issues no approval, decline or price at this stage or any other.

This reset exists on this page and nowhere else. In the product a recorded correction cannot be taken back out of the record.

A correction that erases what it corrects is not a correction, it is a rewrite. Every change here adds a line and removes nothing — which is the only version that still answers the question six months later, when somebody asks why the file says what it says.

Illustrative corrections on the illustrative submission used throughout this page. No reviewer, business or figure here describes a real file.

Downstream

This is stage two. Everything after it reads what it produced.

Structuring documents is not the product; it is the floor the product stands on. Eight stages run from intake to a human decision, and the file passes through every one of them.

What travels with the structure

  2. Page and positionRetained
  3. Files with no typeFlagged, not filled in
  4. Final dispositionNone issued

Cevrynt is AI-assisted infrastructure for human underwriting. It is not a lender, it makes no funding offer, and lenders retain final approval authority.

Five of the eight are reading something this one wrote down, and the last one is a person. That is why the unrecognised pile is handed back rather than guessed at: an error here does not stay here, and it stops announcing itself as an error the moment it becomes a number.

The stages are the canonical Cevrynt workflow this site describes throughout. No timing, throughput or accuracy is claimed for any of them.

Founder-led

Bring the submission that usually breaks things.

The interesting half of a walkthrough is the file nobody wants to open: the statement that arrived as photographs, the month that is missing, the name that does not match the filing. Describe one of those and we will run it against the real thing rather than a tidy demo.
