Executive brief

The operating-model shift, in one view.

Creditas is the Latin American analogue of a first-line STP claim: 90% of home-equity first-line analyses automated in a dated quarter, with 60% of signatures untouched. Use it for the role shift. Do not use revenue per employee or ‘AI-assisted’ legal review as proof.

90% of first-line credit analyses automated in Q1 2026

No treated application count, no time baseline, no loss/rework comparison. Company-reported. Do not attribute enterprise revenue-per-employee to this workflow.

Before

After

Automates 90% of first-line credit analyses and 60% of signature validations; legal review remains AI-assisted. → Handle the non-automated slice and exceptions so origination can scale without proportional headcount.

Human boundary

90% first-line automation implies machine completion of that step for the eligible majority. Final credit policy and the 10% residual remain human. No public authority matrix.

Why it matters

First-line credit analysis and signature validation do not require human review on every home-equity file.

This case is company-reported. Use it for the operating-model shift; do not treat the numbers as independently measured.

Questions

01What is our equivalent of the 10% residual, and who staffs it?
02Would we publish the automation rate if we also had to publish early-arrears by origination vintage?

Portability conditions

A high-volume secured product with documentable first-line rules
Willingness to publish an automation rate and keep a residual desk
Credit-quality monitoring that is not yet in the public record

Reputation risk
