Pointingfish

From Application To Underwriter-ready, Without The Manual Chase

Pointingfish reads every document in a borrower package - Form 1040s, 1065s, K-1s, paystubs, W-2s, bank statements, transcripts, IDs, and disclosures - then delivers validated, structured data your underwriters and LOS can act on immediately.

This moves the conversation from documents to underwriting readiness.

The economics

Why Origination Teams Ship Faster After Switching?

Problem

Underwriters Spend Valuable Time Reviewing Document Quality Instead Of Borrower Risk

  • Processors hand-stacking docs for 60–90 minutes per file
  • Income calc errors caught only after underwriting touches the file
  • Investor stips and re-disclosures driven by missing or expired docs
  • Wholesale and correspondent files arrive in unpredictable order
Solution

Automated Stacking & Structured Extraction

  • Auto-split, classify and bookmark the full package in minutes
  • Pre-underwriting Intelligence with confidence scores per field
  • Stip checklist generated against your conditions taxonomy
  • Exception queue surfaces only the docs that actually need a human
Outcome

Faster Files, Fewer
Re-touches, Cleaner Audits

  • 40–60% reduction in processor handling time per file
  • Days off cycle time for clear-to-close
  • Lower pull-through risk on time-sensitive locks
  • Investor-ready audit trail for every decision
Success Stories

How Real Origination Teams Are Deploying It?

Non-QM lender

Self-employed Income Review

Non-QM and bank-statement programs use Pointingfish to read self-employed income packages-Form 1040s with Schedule C and E, Form 1065 returns, K-1s, and 3-month bank statements-and surface the data underwriters need.

Self-employed income ready

Pre-underwriting Stack & Index

Retail mortgage lenders use Pointingfish to stack and index borrower packages the moment they hit the LOS-income, asset and credit documents classified, key fields extracted, and the file handed to underwriting clean.

Wholesale & correspondent

Broker Submission Normalization

Wholesale and correspondent shops receive broker submissions in every format imaginable. Pointingfish normalizes the stack-splits the package, classifies each document, flags missing pieces-before the file enters the queue.
