Stori

Servicing Comment time was reduced from days to about 15 minutes.

Stori Management Risk System is powered by non-traditional unstructured data such as PDFs, CSV, excel, word and other raw data formats. The system interprets servicing notes and normalizes the data. The AI engine then interprets borrower and servicer correspondence and creates actionable insights for credit scoring and decisioning. The application uses natural language processing & machine learning routines to dramatically reduce the amount of analyst labor needed to evaluate an asset for risk and pricing.

Servicing Comment time was reduced from days to about 15 minutes.

The Challenge

The portfolio valuation process is slow, inconsistent, and subject to breaking down:
The process of evaluating loans was painstakingly manual, taking up to 48 hours.

  • Document bottleneck – A lack of a standardized way to input communications and documents in various formats slowed the process.
  • Manual methods – Loan officers had to manually sift through each transcript to determine whether a loan was performing or non-performing.
  • No automated scoring systems – It took time to categorize loans and make well-informed decisions.

The Goal

How could the loan evaluation process be expedited without disrupting day-to-day operations?

The aim was to find a solution that not only saved time but also integrated seamlessly with the current workflow.

Proposed Solution

After diving into the challenges and objectives, we introduced a smart solution: automation enhanced by machine learning and natural language processing.
Goal: Reduce review time.

We implemented text classification techniques to systematically analyze lender-borrower communications, categorizing each interaction to understand loan distribution across various categories like bankruptcy, foreclosure, fraud, and disputes.
Goal: Assign accurate risk ratings based on well-defined categories.

What started as a four-month project blossomed into a partnership lasting over two years, thanks to continuous enhancements and upgrades to the system.
