Product
QC that tests the file,not just the data.
Flightline works from the documents: statements footed, income recomputed, each document checked against the others. Every finding carries its evidence and the requirement behind it, and rolls up into the view of the program your leadership asks for.
Proof the auditwas done.
Every review ends in a loan audit report you can put in the file: what was reviewed, the disposition, each finding with its evidence and the requirement it applied, and the response recorded against it.
- Scope and disposition on the first page
- Each finding with its severity, evidence, requirement and status
- Income and asset calculations included as readable work papers
- Your team’s responses quoted in the report; a waiver requires a comment
- Sealed at issuance; anyone you share it with can verify it
The audit trail.Every test, every answer.
Each test is recorded with its question, its answer and the evidence it used, so your team can check the logic behind every conclusion, test by test. This is the Tests workspace on a sample file.

A findingyou can defend.
Before a finding is published, a second automated review tries to rebuild it from the source documents and the guideline. If it cannot, the finding goes back and does not publish. What reaches your team is a finding that stood up to that check: what was found, and each path that would resolve it.
How a finding is builtThe monthly QC report,ready for investors and agencies.
Every loan reviewed that month, with its findings, their severity and the number of tests run on it, so the depth of the review is on the page. Then the patterns across loans, and the corrective action when a finding repeats.

Find the problem spotsbefore they become a pattern.
Every finding carries its program, channel, region, review area and the test that raised it. Flightline compares each segment with the rest of your reviewed loans and flags the ones running hot, so you know where to look next and which corrective action to open.

Illustrative figures.
Your standards,cited to the section.
Each finding is measured against the agency and investor requirements that apply to the loan, then your overlays, then your QC plan. It cites the requirement it applied, to the section, as it stood on the review date. Guides change; a citation to the wrong edition does not survive a rebuttal.
When your QC plan says the question is what applied at application or closing instead, the review follows it.
- Fannie Mae Selling Guide
- Freddie Mac Seller/Servicer Guide
- HUD Handbook 4000.1
- VA Lenders Handbook
- USDA HB-1-3555
