The cost of origination and underwriting ops keeps rising.
How we're different
- We run the underwriting checklist end to end (doc chase to memo to exceptions).
- Policy-gated and human-approved at risk points. No silent automation.
- Evidence-first outputs with citations and an audit trail.
Trust rule: AI drafts, humans decide for sensitive outcomes.

One estimate places loan origination software at $6-7B in 2025 with growth toward ~$10B by 2029. UnderwriteKit targets the operations spend that sits alongside LOS budgets.
Why now
- Origination costs exceed $10k per loan in reported quarters.
- Automation reduces cycle times but needs governance and audit trails.
- GenAI fits document review and memo drafting when coupled with controls.
