The "Pipeline Blindspot" Problem
Volatile interest rate swings from Fed announcements blindside mortgage lock commitments, leading to expired pipeline positions and CFPB compliance violations under the Truth in Lending Act
Manual tracking of borrower pipelines using legacy LOS systems fails to account for seasonal refinancing surges driven by 30-year fixed-rate drops, causing overstocked rate locks and excess MSR inventory
Inaccurate forecasting of secondary market demand from GSEs like Fannie Mae exposes brokers to liquidity crunches during peak Q4 closing seasons, risking warehouse line breaches
Regulatory reporting lags from disjointed data sources in core banking systems risk fines under Dodd-Frank Section 1026 and HMDA requirements, eroding client trust and inviting enforcement actions
Over-reliance on generic tools like basic Excel models ignores broker-specific factors like regional housing trends from FHFA indices, inflating hedging costs by 25% on interest rate swaps
Confidential client data silos in non-integrated CRM platforms prevent real-time inventory adjustments for forward commitments, delaying profitable deal executions and exposing to BSA/AML risks

What Makes Us Different:
Unlock Precision and Profit in Your Mortgage Operations
Minimize Rate Lock Expirations
Minimize Rate Lock Expirations: Our AI forecasts demand with 95% accuracy using real-time Fed funds data, slashing expired commitments by 40% within the first quarter. Brokers like you avoid $100K+ in annual losses from fallout fees, optimizing cash reserves for competitive bidding on high-value conforming loans.
Boost Compliance and Audit Readiness
Boost Compliance and Audit Readiness: Embedded regulatory safeguards ensure every forecast aligns with RESPA, TILA, and CFPB guidelines, with automated HMDA reporting. Reduce audit preparation time from weeks to hours, freeing your team to focus on closing deals rather than defending against regulatory inquiries.
Enhance Cash Flow Through Smart Hedging
Enhance Cash Flow Through Smart Hedging: Predict inventory needs down to the loan type, including jumbo vs. conventional, cutting over-hedging costs by 30% via optimized TBA securities positions. In volatile markets, this means steadier revenue streams and stronger client relationships built on reliable service during refi cycles.
What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our rate lock expirations were killing us—last quarter alone, we lost $75K to misforecasted pipeline volume during a refi boom triggered by a 50bps Fed cut. Their custom model now pulls in our Encompass LOS data and CME FedWatch projections, hitting 92% accuracy on forward commitments. It's transformed how we hedge with interest rate swaps, and our compliance team sleeps better knowing we're HMDA-ready."
Sarah Jenkins
VP of Loan Originations, Horizon Mortgage Group
"We were drowning in spreadsheets for inventory tracking, especially with seasonal FHA surges in Q2 from low ARM rates. AIQ built us a system that integrates regional FHFA housing data and our Black Knight pipeline—cut our overcommitments by 35% in just three months, eliminating surprises during our annual SOX audits."
Michael Torres
Director of Mortgage Operations, Apex Financial Services

AIQ's solution is fully owned by us, with built-in AES-256 encryption that passed our latest FINRA and OCC reviews. Forecasting errors on MSR valuations dropped from 20% to under 5%, saving us 10+ hours weekly on reconciliation."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your inventory forecasting handle fluctuating interest rates specific to mortgage brokering?
Our custom AI models are trained on a blend of your historical lock data and external feeds like Freddie Mac indices. This allows precise predictions of pipeline inventory needs, even during rapid rate changes. For instance, we incorporate volatility metrics to forecast refinancing surges, achieving 95% accuracy in backtests. Unlike generic tools, it's built for your workflow—integrating directly with your LOS to adjust forecasts in real-time, ensuring you avoid overcommitting to locks that could expire unprofitably. Compliance is baked in, with automated checks for regulatory alignment.
What makes your solution compliant with financial regulations like Dodd-Frank?
We prioritize compliance from the ground up, embedding rules for RESPA, TILA, and Dodd-Frank into the AI logic. Every forecast generates audit-ready logs, flagging potential issues like improper lock durations. Our systems undergo SOC 2 audits, and we use encrypted data pipelines to protect sensitive borrower info under GLBA. Brokers we've worked with report 50% faster audit prep because the tool auto-generates compliant reports. It's not an add-on; it's core to the custom build, tailored to your firm's reporting needs.
Can this forecasting system integrate with my existing mortgage software?
Absolutely. We specialize in deep, two-way integrations with platforms like Encompass, Black Knight, or LendingPad. Our team maps your data flows to create a unified system, eliminating manual entry that plagues 70% of brokers. For example, pipeline updates from your CRM feed directly into the AI for instant inventory adjustments. This results in a single source of truth, reducing errors by 60%. We handle the heavy lifting, ensuring scalability as your volume grows without disrupting daily operations.
How accurate are the forecasts for seasonal mortgage inventory demands?
Our models deliver 95% accuracy by analyzing patterns from your past data alongside seasonal factors like tax season refinances or holiday slowdowns. We incorporate regional housing trends and economic indicators for nuanced predictions. One client saw a 35% drop in overstocked locks during Q2 peaks after implementation. It's flexible— you can tweak variables for custom scenarios, like FHA vs. conventional loans. Regular retraining keeps it sharp, outperforming industry benchmarks where generic tools hit only 75% reliability.
What is the timeline and cost for building a custom forecasting solution?
Typically, we deliver a fully integrated system in 6-8 weeks, starting with a one-week discovery phase. Costs start at $25K for SMBs, scaling based on complexity like multi-branch integrations—far below the $100K+ in lost efficiency from poor forecasting. It's a one-time build with ownership, avoiding ongoing subscriptions that drain 20% of budgets. Post-launch, we provide training and quarterly optimizations. Clients recoup investment in 4-6 months through reduced expirations and hedging savings.
How do you ensure data confidentiality in a regulated industry like mortgage brokering?
Security is non-negotiable. We use AES-256 encryption for all data in transit and at rest, with role-based access controls tailored to your team's needs. Models are trained on anonymized datasets to comply with privacy laws like CCPA. Our in-house platforms, like RecoverlyAI, have handled sensitive financial data without breaches for years. You own the system, hosted on your preferred compliant cloud (e.g., AWS GovCloud), and we conduct penetration testing biannually. This setup has passed rigorous FINRA reviews for our clients.
