Floowed/Decisioning Engine

Your credit policy, built once.

The Decisioning Engine is where your lending policy lives: built once, plain-English editable, auditable end-to-end. Policy checks, fraud flags, scoring (yours and the bureau’s), risk indicators, approval thresholds, and routing. Configure them once, automate underwriting on every loan, edit live as your risk appetite evolves.

You don’t have to build a policy from scratch on day one. Begin on a preset workflow for your lending product and go live in days. Then open the engine and make the policy your own, on your timeline.

The decisioning engine

Anatomy of a decision.

Your credit policy isn’t a black box, and it isn’t a model you rent. It’s seven layers you build and own. Credit and risk teams author them in plain English. We run them on every application. Your policy is the asset.

Inputs
01Data ElementsThe native data points our processors extract from every document.
02Synthetic MetricsCalculated variables (DTI, gross margin, ratios) derived from base data.
Logic
03RulesLogic conditions (Revenue > 1M) for scorecards and hard gates.
04ScorecardsYour scoring model, absorbed unchanged: FICO-style, bureau, or custom. We adapt to it, we don't replace it.
Decision
05PoliciesHard gates and scorecards combined into one executable decisioning contract.

06Application TemplatesBind a policy, a workflow, and required documents into a deployable product.

The builder, for real

Your scorecard and your policy, as you build them.

Real screens from the engine. A scorecard with a base score and weighted buckets, every band and point value set by your credit team. A policy combining hard gates with that scorecard into one executable contract, versioned and editable as your risk appetite evolves. No code in sight.

A scorecard in the Floowed decisioning engine: base score and weighted buckets per data element, with points for each band, directionality, and missing-data handling
A scorecard: base score and weighted buckets, every band set by the credit team.
A policy in the Floowed decisioning engine: hard gates for months of bank data and NSF count, combined with the attached scorecard into one executable, versioned decisioning contract
A policy: hard gates plus the attached scorecard, one executable contract, versioned.
Change it safely

One decision is one application. The policy decides all of them.

So before a new policy goes live, replay it on the applications you’ve already decided. See exactly what would change, then ship.

Test a policy change before it goes liveBacktest it against the applications you’ve already decided
Illustrative example
A lender tightens 3 rulesReplayed on 12,480 past applications · 2 years
DSCR floor1.251.40312 decline
Leverage cap · debt/EBITDA3.5×3.0×198 decline
Customer concentration≤ 40%≤ 30%144 decline

Add the three up by hand and you get 654. The real combined impact is 374: the same 280 applications trip more than one new rule. The engine resolves the overlap. A spreadsheet double-counts it.

Approval rate64%61%374 applications would flip to decline
Portfolio bad-rate2.1%1.6%defaults across the approved book
Of the 374 this change would now decline
34 later defaulted · correctly avoided340 performed fine · good business lost

Three percent fewer approvals, bad-rate down nearly a quarter. Now it’s a decision you make with the numbers, not a hunch.

A worked example with illustrative figures. In the engine, approve and decline shifts replay from your application history; default and bad-rate analysis draws on the loan-performance outcomes you load into Floowed.

Governance

Built to stand up to an audit.

Every decision is explainable, every change is controlled. The things your risk and compliance teams ask for before a policy ships.

Full audit trail

Every decision traces back to the exact rules, scores, and source documents behind it. Open any application and see why.

Reason codes & adverse action

Every decline carries the specific reasons that fired, ready for adverse-action notices.

Policy versioning

Every change is versioned with who, what, and when. Roll back to any prior policy.

Four-eyes approval

Policy changes go through review and sign-off before they go live. Authors and approvers stay separate.

Override tracking

Manual overrides are logged with who, why, and when, so exceptions stay visible and reviewable, never silent.

Role-based control

Who can author, approve, and override is set by role, so the right people hold the policy.

Inputs & integrations

Bring your score. Plug in your stack.

The engine orchestrates, it doesn’t compete. Feed it the scores and data you already trust, and connect the systems your loan already flows through.

What lenders ask, answered.

What is the Floowed Decisioning Engine?
It is where a lender builds and runs its credit policy. Data extracted from documents becomes metrics, metrics feed rules and scorecards, and those combine into an executable policy that runs on every application. Credit and risk teams author it in plain English, with no code.
Who builds and changes the policy?
Credit and risk teams, in plain English, with no code. Changes go through review and sign-off before they go live, and who can author, approve, and override is controlled by role.
Does Floowed replace my credit scoring model?
No. Floowed is score-agnostic. Your existing model, whether FICO-style, a bureau score, or your own scorecard, plugs into the engine unchanged as an input. The engine orchestrates policy around it. We never swap in a Floowed score.
How is a decision explained and audited?
Every decision traces to the rules, scores, and source documents behind it, with reason codes on every decline and a full version history on the policy. An auditor can open any application and see exactly why it was decided.
Can I test a policy change before it goes live?
Yes. Replay a new policy against your historical applications to see exactly which decisions would change before it ships. Approve and decline shifts replay from your application history; default and bad-rate analysis draws on the loan-performance outcomes you load into Floowed.
How fast can we go live?
Start on a preset workflow for your lending product and go live in days, then open the engine and make the policy your own on your timeline.

Run a real loan through it. See the whole decision.

Watch Floowed read the documents, run the policy, and show the rules behind every call. No procurement, no IT project.
