    The idea

    A screening workflow tool that property managers and owner-operators open per applicant. It ingests submitted documents, cross-checks income claims against bank-sourced data via open-banking API, runs metadata and formatting analysis to flag altered pay stubs, and returns a scored approval recommendation with an auditable fair-housing rationale attached. Screening time drops from days to under an hour.

    Who pays

    Regional Property Manager, typically Multi-site residential or CRE portfolios; typically 150–1,500 units across a metro region. Replaces: manual document review and third-party background check services without fraud detection.

    The pain

    Sourced

    Weak screening is called out repeatedly as the root cause of tenant turnover, the silent profit killer. Manual screening carries high document-fraud risk — applicants can easily alter pay stubs and bank statements — and slows lease approval, increasing vacancy rates.
