Decision components are the building blocks of the underwriting process. Each
component performs specific checks and produces outcomes that inform the final
underwriting decision. Results from these components determine whether an
application can be automatically approved or requires manual review.
Decision component structure
Each decision component is defined by theDecisionComponent type and includes:
- Component name – Identifies the type of verification (e.g., Identity Verification, TIN Match)
- Status – Overall status of the component (Pending, Processing, Complete)
- Items – Individual checks within the component (e.g., individual stakeholder verifications)
- Outcomes – Results from automated processing
- Reviews – Items flagged for manual underwriting review
