The "Lead Mismatch" Problem
Chasing unqualified borrowers floods your mortgage pipeline with non-compliant risks, increasing RESPA violation exposure by up to 40% in high-volume origination environments
Manual scoring overlooks credit nuances like DTI ratios above 43% and regulatory red flags such as HMDA reportable disparities in protected classes
Inconsistent lead quality delays loan closings by 15-20 days amid volatile interest rate shifts and GSE overlay changes
Overreliance on generic LOS tools exposes sensitive borrower PII to integration breaches under Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act standards
Team burnout from manually sifting through sub-620 FICO leads in a competitive refinance market driven by 30-year fixed rate fluctuations
Missed opportunities with high-net-worth clients due to overlooked behavioral signals like recurring wire transfers indicating liquidity for jumbo loans

What Clients Say
""Before AIQ Labs, we were overwhelmed by leads from online aggregators—over 50% failed TILA disclosures or ECOA screening, wasting our closers' time on non-viable FHA applications. Their custom scoring now ranks prospects by conversion potential using our proprietary risk models, and we've closed 22 conforming loans in the last quarter that we'd have overlooked. It's like having an extra underwriter reviewing VOE and VOD docs on demand.""
Sarah Jenkins
Senior Mortgage Loan Officer, Horizon Mortgage Group (processing 500+ applications annually)
""In this rate-volatile market with Fed hikes pushing 30-year rates above 7%, generic tools couldn't handle our jumbo loan focus on borrowers over $1M LTV. AIQ built us a model that scores based on our exact archetypes, including asset depletion for retirees, cutting false positives by 65%. Compliance reporting for HMDA and Reg B is seamless—no more manual data pulls at quarter-end for our $150M portfolio.""
Michael Torres
Director of Loan Operations, Pinnacle Funding Solutions (specializing in high-balance mortgages)
""We integrated their lead scorer with our Ellie Mae Encompass LOS in just two weeks, transforming how we handle VA and conventional refinances amid rising ARM rates. Last month, it prioritized 40 high-value leads with 740+ FICO, leading to $1.2M in funded loans and a 28% boost in pull-through rates. The best part? Full data ownership under our GLBA policy means no more juggling third-party API subscriptions or breach worries.""

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring ensure compliance with mortgage regulations?
We embed compliance directly into the AI model, screening leads against CFPB, FINRA, and HMDA guidelines from the outset. For instance, the system automatically flags disparities in protected class data to prevent disparate impact violations. Unlike generic tools, our custom build includes encrypted audit logs for every score, making it easy to demonstrate fair lending practices during exams. In one deployment, this reduced a brokerage's audit findings by 75%, saving significant remediation time. We also conduct initial data mapping to align with your specific state licensing requirements, ensuring the solution fits your operational and legal framework without ongoing manual oversight.
What data sources does the system use for mortgage lead scoring?
Our scoring pulls from your internal sources like CRM records, LOS outputs, and historical closing data, enriched with borrower-submitted info such as income docs and credit pulls (with consent). We avoid external aggregators to maintain data control and compliance. For example, it analyzes behavioral signals from your website interactions alongside demographic factors like employment stability. This proprietary approach yields 35% higher accuracy than public datasets, tailored to mortgage specifics like LTV calculations. Setup involves a secure data ingestion pipeline, and we provide training to your team on interpreting scores without exposing sensitive PII unnecessarily.
How long does it take to implement custom lead scoring for our brokerage?
Typically 4-6 weeks from discovery to full deployment, depending on your data complexity. Week one focuses on auditing your pipeline and defining scoring criteria, like prioritizing VA loans over conventional. By week three, the model is trained and tested on sample leads, ensuring 90% alignment with your closers' judgments. Final integration and user training wrap it up. For a mid-sized firm processing 500 leads monthly, we hit ROI within the first quarter through 25% faster prioritization. Post-launch, we offer 30 days of optimization to fine-tune for seasonal spikes, like spring homebuying rushes.
Can the system integrate with our existing mortgage software stack?
Absolutely— we specialize in deep, bidirectional integrations with platforms like Encompass, Black Knight, or Ellie Mae. The AI feeds scored leads directly into your LOS for automated workflows, such as triggering underwriting queues for high-potential refinances. No brittle APIs here; our custom code ensures reliability, even during high-volume periods. In a recent project, we synced with a client's CRM in under 48 hours, reducing data silos that previously caused 20% lead drop-off. If you use custom tools, our engineers map them precisely, maintaining data integrity and compliance throughout.
What if our lead volume fluctuates with interest rates?
The system is built to scale dynamically, handling surges from 200 to 2,000 leads monthly without performance dips. Our cloud-agnostic architecture auto-adjusts resources, like ramping up during Fed rate cuts that boost refinances. Predictive elements forecast volume based on market indicators, allowing proactive capacity planning. For one client, this meant seamless handling of a 150% influx last year, maintaining sub-5-second scoring times. We include monitoring dashboards to track these shifts, and quarterly updates incorporate new variables like economic forecasts, ensuring your pipeline stays efficient regardless of market volatility.
How do you measure the ROI of your lead scoring solution?
We track tangible metrics like conversion rate uplift, time-to-close reduction, and cost-per-qualified-lead savings, benchmarked against your pre-implementation baselines. For mortgage brokers, this often translates to 30-40% higher funded loan volumes within six months. Our dashboard provides real-time KPIs, such as ROI calculators showing payback periods under 90 days for firms closing $50K commissions per deal. In testimonials, clients report 2x pipeline efficiency without added headcount. We conduct a 60-day review to quantify gains, adjusting as needed to maximize your return in a compliance-heavy industry.
