Opportunity Thesis

Develop a RAG-based AI agent (charging per loan file) that reads 400-page mortgage applications and flags discrepancies against specific regulations. Mitigate hallucination risk by providing a 'Source Citation' for every flag, allowing a human to click directly to the page in the PDF. Target the 45-day closing window bottleneck.

Why Now

The cost to originate a loan has hit R$ 20k+ due to manual document verification and compliance 'stare and compare' work.

Mortgage processing is a graveyard of paper. If you cut 5 days off the closing time, you win the market.
