WHY THIS EXISTS

The attributes you choose, calculated consistently at scale

Financial Health Summary returns a configurable set of borrower attributes, either our standard library or metrics you define yourself, calculated the same way on every applicant and delivered into your scorecard, your policy rules or manual review. It produces the insights and metrics your scorecards and rules run on, giving your team a more quantitative and qualitative view of each borrower's financial snapshot.

Start from the standard library

A ready set of income, expense, liquidity, obligation and volatility attributes, already defined and calculated consistently. Useful when you want a fast, comparable view across every applicant.

Define your own

Bring your own definitions, including ratios specific to your policy, and we build and calculate them for you. If your credit team already reasons in a particular metric, that metric is what you get back.

Both apply to consumer and business lending, wherever transaction data is available for the borrower.

Your definitions, applied to every borrower

You specify the attributes and how they should be calculated. We produce them consistently, at scale.

Feeding your scorecard, your rules and your reviewers

Attributes feed the processes you already run for scoring and review.

Origination platform

CRM

Portfolio analytics

Attributes are delivered by API or batch into your scorecard, policy rules and review queues. Carrington Labs supplies the inputs; every rule, weighting and decision stays yours.

What makes this different

Attributes, not a score

It surfaces metrics and data points for your process to use. It is not a score, a rule set or a decision.

Defined to your requirements

Metrics are specified to your scorecard and policy definitions rather than a fixed vendor schema.

Consistent at scale

The same definitions applied the same way to every applicant, which is what makes an attribute usable in a scorecard.

Reduces manual interpretation

Analysts and credit officers read prepared metrics instead of interpreting raw statements case by case.

Specify once, maintained as your policy evolves

Attributes are specified, built and delivered as a managed service, and extended as your policy evolves.

    Specify attributes

    We work from your scorecard and policy requirements to define each metric precisely.

    Transaction, bureau and lender-provided data is mapped and prepared, de-identified.

  3. 3

    Build the calculations

EVIDENCE

Checked against your own outcomes

Attributes are validated by reconciliation: we calculate them on a sample your team has already assessed manually and compare, definition by definition, until the outputs match how your credit team reads a file. Coverage (the share of applicants for whom each attribute can be produced) is reported alongside.

Illustrative reconciliation
Recognized incomeMatched on 96% of sampled files
Cash bufferMatched on 94%
CoverageAttributes produced for 98% of applicants with connected accounts

Reconciled against your team's manual assessment; figures shown are illustrative.

Governance, explainability and integration

Explainability, lender control and data handling built into every deployment.

  1. Interpretable by construction

    Every attribute has a documented definition and calculation, so your team can explain any value it uses.

  2. Lender-controlled decisioning

    Carrington Labs produces attributes. Rules, weightings, cutoffs and decisions remain entirely yours.

  3. Data handling

    Attributes are calculated from de-identified transaction and lender-provided data. Nothing leaves your environment beyond what your contract specifies, and no personally identifying fields are ever needed to produce a value.

  4. Compliance-ready

    Every attribute ships with a written definition and calculation method, so your risk and compliance teams can trace any number back to its source data on demand.

  5. Integration

    Attribute values reach your scorecard, policy engine or review queue however you already receive data today, whether that is a live API call or a scheduled batch export.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a score?
No. It returns configurable metrics and flags. Scoring, weighting and decisioning happen in your systems.
How is it different from Cashflow Score?
Cashflow Score returns a standardized 1 to 100 score. Financial Health Summary returns the individual attributes you have specified, calculated to your definitions.
Can we define our own metrics?
Yes. That is the point of the product: attributes are built to your scorecard and policy definitions.
Does it decide affordability or suitability?
No. It supplies the metrics your affordability or suitability process consumes.
What data is required, and is PII needed?
Transaction data, bureau data where applicable, and any lender-provided data relevant to your definitions, de-identified. No PII is required.
How is it delivered?
By API for real-time use or by batch, into your scorecard, policy rules and review queues.
