Mortgage Industry

It Costs $11,000 to
Originate One Loan.
ADEs Cut That in Half.

67% of the cost to originate a mortgage is personnel — processors, underwriters, closers — doing document-heavy, compliance-intensive work on every single file. The average lender spends $11,000 per loan and still loses money half the time. Neuralogic deploys Autonomous Digital Employees (ADEs) that perform entire mortgage operations roles — processing, underwriting support, QC, closing — 24/7, zero errors, at a fraction of the cost.

The Problem
What Every Loan File Costs
Your Operations Team.

In mortgage lending, the Loan Processor is the operational backbone — touching every file from application to clear-to-close. Every task below happens on every single loan, and lenders originate thousands per quarter. Nearly all of it is manual, document-intensive, and compliance-critical — and every hour is a cost an ADE eliminates.

Per-Loan Task Breakdown — Per Processor

Document collection, stacking & indexing 3.5 hrs/loan 95% automatable
Income, asset & employment verification 2.5 hrs/loan 85% automatable
Initial disclosure preparation & delivery 1.5 hrs/loan 100% automatable
Title, appraisal & insurance coordination 2.0 hrs/loan 90% automatable
Condition clearing & document re-requests 3.0 hrs/loan 100% automatable
Compliance checks (TRID, RESPA, ECOA) 1.5 hrs/loan 95% automatable
Underwriting package assembly & submission 2.0 hrs/loan 100% automatable
Borrower communication & status updates 2.0 hrs/loan 80% automatable

Human Mortgage Loan Processor
vs. Neuralogic ADE

Same scope of work on every mortgage file. Fundamentally different cost-per-loan, cycle time, and error rate — powered by Autonomous Digital Employees.

Human Mortgage Loan Processor

Manual. Expensive.
The Origination Cost Crisis.

  • Manually collects, stacks, and indexes 100+ documents per file across bank statements, tax returns, pay stubs, and disclosures. Missing pages delay the entire pipeline.
  • Spends 8+ hours a week in Excel building production reports that are outdated the moment they're sent.
  • Prepares and delivers initial disclosures under TRID deadlines — manually calculating fees, pulling rates, and assembling Loan Estimates that must be letter-perfect.
  • Clears underwriting conditions one at a time — re-requesting documents from borrowers, waiting days for responses, re-submitting updated packages.
  • Works 45-hour weeks. Can't monitor wells at 2am when a gas-lift valve fails.
  • $51K–$88K per processor. At 6–8 loans/month throughput, that's $7,000+ in personnel cost per loan before overhead.
VS
Neuralogic ADE

ADE-Powered. Tireless.
Deployed in 8 Weeks.

  • Collects, classifies, stacks, and indexes every document autonomously — flagging missing pages, expired dates, and name mismatches before the file moves forward.
  • Verifies income, assets, and employment digitally — pulling data from payroll providers, bank feeds, and verification services in minutes, not days.
  • Generates compliant Loan Estimates and initial disclosures automatically — calculating fees, pulling live rates, and delivering within TRID deadlines every time.
  • Deployed in 8 weeks. Zero attrition. TRID, RESPA, ECOA, HMDA, and agency guidelines are encoded — not memorized.
  • Processes files 24/7. Clears conditions at midnight, catches the expiring rate lock, and delivers clear-to-close before the borrower wakes up.
  • Fraction of one FTE per loan. No benefits, no overtime, no turnover, no training ramp — and 5× the throughput.
ADE-Powered Roles Across
Mortgage Operations.

Loan processing is the starting point — not the ceiling. From origination to servicing, Neuralogic deploys ADEs that replace entire roles across IMBs, banks, credit unions, and mortgage servicers.

Underwriting Support ADE

Performs automated credit analysis, DTI calculations, AUS submission, and guideline matching across conventional, FHA, VA, and USDA programs. Flags exceptions and builds the underwriting narrative autonomously.

Underwriting

Post-Close & QC ADE

Performs pre-funding and post-close quality control audits on every file — checking compliance, data integrity, and investor eligibility. Catches defects before they become buyback demands.

Quality Control

Regulatory & Compliance ADE

Autonomously generates closing disclosures, balances settlement statements, coordinates wire instructions, and manages the clear-to-close to funding timeline — eliminating last-mile delays.

Closing

Procurement & Vendor ADE

Manages payment processing, escrow analysis, borrower communications, forbearance workflows, and loss mitigation reviews. Replaces the most labor-intensive function in post-origination.

Servicing

HSE & Safety Intelligence ADE

Monitors TRID timelines, HMDA data accuracy, fair lending patterns, ECOA compliance, and state-specific disclosure requirements. Auto-generates audit-ready reports and flags violations before exams.

Compliance

Secondary Market ADE

Owns loan pricing, lock management, best-execution analysis, investor delivery packaging, and pool composition optimization. Replaces spreadsheet-driven secondary desks with continuous intelligence.

Capital Markets
Other Vendors Augment.
We Replace Entire Roles.

Most mortgage technology vendors sell point solutions — an e-closing tool here, an OCR engine there — that still require human operators. Neuralogic deploys ADEs — Autonomous Digital Employees — that own entire operational roles across your lending operation, end-to-end, 24/7.

Capability Typical AI Vendor Neuralogic ADE
Replaces entire job role   Assists existing staff   ADE owns the full role end-to-end

How to Reduce Mortgage
Origination Costs With ADEs.

Below is a modeled scenario for a mid-market lender originating 5,000 loans annually. These projections are based on MBA-reported industry averages and Neuralogic's ADE performance benchmarks.

What Changes
ADEs replace 80%+ of manual processing, underwriting support, QC, and closing coordination tasks. Remaining staff shift to exception handling, borrower relationships, and complex loan scenarios.
Assumptions
Based on MBA Q2 2025 average origination cost of $10,965/loan. Personnel at 67% of total cost (Freddie Mac 2024 study). ADE deployment across processing, UW support, QC, and closing functions.

How Mortgage Lenders Reduce
Origination Costs in 2025.

The average cost to originate a mortgage hit $10,965 in Q2 2025, with personnel representing 67% of that expense. Traditional approaches — outsourcing, LOS upgrades, process optimization — deliver incremental improvement. ADEs deliver structural cost reduction by replacing the labor itself.

Traditional: Outsourcing
10–20%
typical cost reduction
Shifts labor offshore but retains manual processes, QC overhead, and communication latency. Does not eliminate the underlying cost structure.
Traditional: LOS Automation
15–25%
typical cost reduction
Automates document routing and basic verifications. Still requires human processors, underwriters, and closers to operate the system and handle exceptions.
Neuralogic: ADE Replacement
60–70%
structural cost reduction
Replaces the roles themselves — not just the tools they use. ADEs process, verify, check compliance, assemble packages, and clear conditions autonomously. 24/7.
