Connecting field assessments to the lending decision
- Problem
- Cases lost time at handoffs between field assessment, underwriting and disbursement.
- Decision
- I connected GAIA and Athena workflows, making required information, approvals and exception ownership explicit.
- Result
- Login-to-disbursement: ~10–12 → ~7–8 days. Sales PD: ~8–9 → ~3–4 hours.
- Field assessment
- Credit review
- Underwriting
- Disbursement
Simplified workflow · internal screens and business rules omitted.

The product trade-off
Removing a step can make a journey faster while leaving the next team with incomplete information. I focus on avoidable waiting, repeat entry and unclear ownership while keeping credit and compliance checks explicit.
What I focused on
Connecting mobile field assessments to the wider loan journey. Defining who can act, what information is required, when a case can advance and how exceptions return to the right owner.
How I work
I map where cases wait or return for correction, then work with credit, risk, operations and engineering to define the rules and exception paths. I track turnaround alongside rework and adoption to understand whether the whole journey is improving.
