Doable with technology, but keep a person clearly in charge.
Judgment, review & checks
Automate the checks, keep the decision with a person.
- 1Write down the rules and checklists you follow to approve loans within specified limits, and refer loan applications outside those limits to management, then encode them so routine cases are flagged automatically.
- 2Add validation rules to catch errors before they reach you.
- 3Let AI pre-screen and surface the exceptions, you decide the hard ones.
