Workflow — Disclosure Document Review

TRID and Reg Z compliance without the compliance-team backlog.

Loan estimate, closing disclosure, HMDA submissions, billing statements — APR-tolerance check, fee-bucket categorization, timing-rule compliance, content verification against the underlying contract. Direct into Encompass, Black Knight Empower, DocVelocity, or your loan-origination system. Replaces compliance teams and offshore disclosure-review BPOs at $15–$60 per file.

What This Replaces

The Compliance Team and Offshore BPO on Every Pre-Funding File

The work the compliance reviewer does on every disclosure — and the cost of leaving it there.

The labor

Disclosure document review today moves through in-house compliance teams plus offshore BPO support — Genpact, WNS, Cognizant BPS, Accenture Operations, EXL, Sourcepoint, Visionet, Indecomm. Per-file cost runs $15–$60 fully loaded depending on file complexity, regulatory scope (Reg Z mortgage, Reg E consumer, RESPA, TRID, HMDA), and pre-funding vs post-closing review.

The cycle time

Standard pre-funding disclosure review takes 1–4 hours of compliance time per file at the BPO desk, with longer cycles when APR-tolerance violations require re-disclosure (TRID changed-circumstance), when fee-bucket categorization triggers cure tolerance, or when timing-rule compliance requires document-flow reconstruction. Every TRID violation that escapes pre-funding review is a CFPB exam finding waiting to happen.

How It Works

From Pre-Funding File to Compliance Status

Five steps. Every one logged. Every one reversible if your confidence threshold isn't met.

Submission Lands
Disclosure package from the LOS — Loan Estimate, Closing Disclosure, TRID changed-circumstance docs, HMDA-LAR data, billing statements. Underlying note, security instrument, and contract terms pulled into the same review.
Extraction & Classification
APR-tolerance check across TRID 0% / 10% / unlimited fee buckets. Fee-bucket categorization per TRID rules. Timing-rule compliance (3-day, 7-day, 6-business-day). Content verification against underlying contract. HMDA-LAR field validation.
Validation Against Reg Library
Findings validated against Reg Z, RESPA, TRID, Reg E rule library and the lender's compliance playbook. Anything below your confidence threshold per finding is routed to a human exception queue — your call which queue, ours or yours.
Push to LOS
Compliant / exception determination into ICE / Encompass, Black Knight Empower, DocVelocity, or BlitzDocs via the documented integration. Re-disclosure queue updated for TRID changed-circumstance. HMDA-LAR submission queue updated.
Audit Log Persisted
Every APR calculation, fee-bucket categorization, and timing finding logged with the source field, regulatory citation, model version, and confidence score. CFPB and prudential-regulator exam-ready and yours.
Compliance & Defensibility

Built to Meet the Quality Bar Mortgage Compliance Already Runs On

Reg Z, RESPA, TRID, Reg E conformance
Truth in Lending (Reg Z) APR-tolerance and disclosure-content rules; RESPA Section 8 anti-kickback and HUD-1 / GFE rules; TRID Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure procedural rules; Reg E electronic-funds-transfer disclosure requirements. CFPB rule-update tracking flows into the validation engine.
CFPB and prudential-exam posture
CFPB Examination Manual procedures and prudential-regulator (OCC, FRB, FDIC, NCUA) consumer-compliance examination standards tracked. The audit log produces what was checked, which rule version applied, and what the basis was for any compliance determination.
HMDA reporting accuracy
HMDA-LAR field validation against Reg C requirements. Common error categories (rate-spread calculation, ethnicity-and-race reporting, AUS results, denial reasoning) surface with the basis cited so the lender resolves before regulatory submission.
NPI and pre-funding confidentiality
Pre-funding files contain borrower NPI and pre-decision underwriting work product. Deployable in your VPC or our SOC 2 environment. Encryption in transit and at rest; retention policies tied to your Reg V / GLBA / Reg P recordkeeping rules.
Common Questions

What Lenders Ask About Disclosure Document Review

How is this different from ICE / Encompass, Black Knight Empower, DocVelocity, or other LOS / compliance platforms?
Those are the systems where pre-funding files and compliance status live. The competitor on this page is the in-house compliance team plus offshore BPO labor — typically Genpact, WNS, Cognizant BPS, Accenture Operations, EXL, Sourcepoint, Visionet, Indecomm — that runs the actual review work at $15–$60 per file. We undercut that labor cost, integrate directly into your existing LOS, and deliver compliance determinations and re-disclosure queues into the system of record.
We have an offshore disclosure-review BPO running today. How does this work alongside that?
Most lenders keep the BPO arrangement in place during pilot and early production — we route exceptions, complex changed-circumstance situations, and any file that genuinely requires senior-compliance judgment to the team you already have. Volume to the BPO drops 60–85% on routine pre-funding review once cutover completes. You renegotiate at the next renewal from a much better position, or shift the relationship to higher-complexity work like state-law compliance or regulatory exam responses.
What's your accuracy bar versus an offshore disclosure reviewer?
Our pilot success threshold is APR-tolerance, fee-bucket, and timing-rule accuracy at parity with or above your incumbent BPO, measured on the same shadow-data sample of historical files. Anything below your defined confidence threshold per finding is routed to a human exception queue — your call which queue, ours or yours.
How do you handle TRID changed-circumstance and re-disclosure timing?
TRID changed-circumstance triggers (interest-rate lock, increase in fees beyond tolerance, new appraisal coming in lower) are detected at the LE-vs-CD comparison stage. Re-disclosure timing windows (3-business-day or 4-business-day) are calculated automatically based on the changed-circumstance event date. The re-disclosure queue is populated with the specific basis cited so compliance routes the file before the closing window closes.
How do you handle HMDA-LAR field validation?
HMDA-LAR field validation runs against current Reg C requirements. Common error categories — rate-spread calculation, demographic reporting, AUS results, denial reasoning, action-taken codes — surface with the basis cited so the lender resolves before submission. The audit log records the rule version active at the time of validation.
Can you actually integrate with ICE / Encompass, Black Knight Empower, DocVelocity, and BlitzDocs?
Yes — through the documented integration surface each platform supports. Encompass via the Encompass SDK; Black Knight Empower via published integration patterns; DocVelocity and BlitzDocs via REST APIs. Your IT and compliance teams review and approve service accounts. We do not require platform-side custom development.
How long until a pilot is running on a live pipeline?
Disclosure-review pilots typically run 6–8 weeks: 1–2 weeks of integration and per-product compliance-rule mapping with the compliance team, 4 weeks of shadow-mode running on real files with no LOS-side compliance-status writes, 1–2 weeks of supervised cutover on a constrained scope (one product line, one state). Production rollout is staged after the pilot meets your accuracy and second-line-of-defense sign-off.
What does pricing look like compared to our current per-file BPO rate?
We benchmark against your current per-file cost — typically $15–$60 fully loaded. Our target is 25–45% of that per-file cost at higher accuracy and faster cycle time. Pricing structures around volume tiers and outcome SLAs, not hourly billable rates.
