Margin math on 1,200 loans / year
At $310 per closed loan versus $1,940 on a legacy stack, NexusMortgageOS returns roughly $1.96M of annual origination cost back to the P&L before a single extra loan is written.
Capacity without headcount
72% of file touches are cleared by autonomous agents, so the same processing team carries 3–4× the volume through rate cycles instead of hiring and cutting.
Audit exposure near zero
Every write is checked deterministically and hash-chained into an append-only ledger, so exam prep becomes an export rather than a quarter-long reconstruction project.
