Sentinel Underwriting Engine

Every Product Construct.
Its Own Risk Surface.

Five user clusters on Intent × Ability. Switch the product construct — the risk surface slides along the Z-axis, every cluster re-positions to its new vector, and every verdict re-computes.

User Clusters

Capacity-Strong — high income, thin file
Emerging — mid scores, modest income
New-to-Credit — thin file, gig / first-time

Ring = cluster identity. Fill = verdict, position = (Si, Sa) vector — both re-computed per product construct. Switch products and watch the clusters move.

The Underwriting Engine

Best-in-class credit risk.
Live today.

Sentinel treats underwriting as geometry — every borrower a vector, every product its own risk surface. Built on BASIC V4, the transformer that reads the repayment sequences every other model throws away.

0.84 AUC
~45% error reduction over aggregate-feature baselines
8x
default concentration caught in the riskiest decile
33M
loan accounts · 1.5B repayment events in training
2,000+
cashflow variables read per income statement
Three Axes

One vector space. Three dimensions.

Si
Intent to Pay
X-Axis · Bureau Prediction
BASIC V4 reads month-by-month repayment sequences other models discard — trained on 33M accounts and 1.5B repayment events.
Sa
Ability to Pay
Y-Axis · Cashflow Underwriting
2,000+ variables from bank statements, salary slips, UPI and GST — fraud, stability, disposable income. A cashflow signature, not a number.
P
Product Construct
Z-Axis · The Core Axis
Bullet loan, EMI and credit line have different physics. The same borrower gets a different vector, offer and risk score per construct.
Built for NBFCs

What Sentinel does to your book.

01
Cut NPAs before disbursal
With 8x default concentration, the riskiest decile is visible on day zero — price it, cap it, or decline it before the loan exists.
02
Collapse underwriting ops cost
Pre-approved offers replace manual queues. One API call, decision in ~1.2 seconds, zero-touch for the vast majority of files.
03
Native to your board policy
Offers are generated inside your approved risk policy — monotonic constraints, RBI-explainable, audit-ready scores at 30/60/90 DPD.
04
A portfolio that compounds
With every repayment, the real-time feedback loop re-tunes underwriting to your book — approvals sharper, pricing tighter, portfolio quality compounding month after month.
The Model Suite

Underwrite. Retarget. Recover.

LIVE
Core Underwriting
Per-construct risk vectors, pre-approved offers and PD scores for every verified KYC user — the engine running on this page.
INDUSTRY FIRST
User Credit Affinity
Predicts which user will need credit, when, and for which construct — bullet, EMI or credit line — so you retarget with the right offer before they ever go shopping. Nobody else models this.
IN PILOT
Sentinel Triage
Continuously re-scores your live book against your default-risk policy and ranks where recovery effort goes first — focused intervention on accounts drifting toward default, light touch everywhere else.

The most accurate retail credit model in India today.

BASIC V4 outperforms aggregate-feature scorecards by ~45% on ranking error. If your current bureau strategy is a scorecard, Sentinel sees risk it structurally cannot.

Per Verified KYC User

What the API returns.

Pre-Approved Offer
Optimal product, amount, tenure, rate — mapped to the lender's risk appetite. A deployable offer, not a score.
Default Risk Score
PD at 30/60/90 DPD. Monotonic constraints. RBI-explainable and auditable.
Cashflow Capacity
Disposable income, stability index, fraud flags. The Sa vector for policy integration.
GraphQL API Response // per-product vector output { "user": "KYC_7291", "product": "emi_personal", "vector": { "si": 0.87, "sa": 0.72 }, "offer": { "amount": 150000, "tenure": 12, "rate": 16.5 }, "risk": { "pd_30": 0.031, "pd_90": 0.008 } }
The Core Goal
Better collections.
Lower NPAs.
Right product, right amount, right risk tier — for every verified KYC user. Lower defaults, lower ops cost, and a real-time feedback loop that never stops learning from outcomes.

Start with a free portfolio analysis.

The Sentinel team runs your book — one segment is enough — and shows you the risk you're not pricing, the users worth retargeting, and where recovery effort actually moves the needle. Free, and the findings are yours to keep.

Sentinel × Facial KYC

The Face Is
the Key.

Walk in. Look at the camera. Get underwritten. Facial ID completes KYC in seconds — then Sentinel does what it always does.
Identity from the face. Risk from bureau + cashflow. Never the other way around.

The One Rule

Facial ID is the key that unlocks underwriting — never an input to the credit model. Risk is scored on bureau + cashflow data only.

The face answers "who are you?" — Sentinel answers "what can you responsibly borrow?" Two different questions, two different engines.

Why now

The infrastructure isn't coming — it's already deployed at national scale. We're building the last mile.

01 / UIDAI
Aadhaar Face Authentication
Face auth is a live UIDAI modality — used across banking, telecom and welfare delivery. The biometric backbone for 1.4B identities already exists.
02 / RBI
V-CIP Video KYC
RBI has mandated video-based customer identification as valid full KYC since 2020. Face-first onboarding is regulation-aligned, not regulation-adjacent.
03 / HABIT
The DigiYatra Effect
Millions of Indians now board flights with a face scan. The UX is normalized. Looking at a camera to prove who you are is no longer novel — it's expected.

What it eliminates

Identity fraud is the largest preventable loss bucket in digital lending — and it dies at the front door.

~0
Identity fraud
past onboarding
Impersonation — stolen documents can't pass a liveness-checked face match against the Aadhaar template.
Synthetic identities — a fabricated person has no real face to present. Liveness + template match kills the category.
Duplicate & mule applications — 1:N face dedup across the full applicant base catches the same face behind ten PANs.
Scope honestly stated: this eliminates identity fraud. First-party intent risk — a real person who won't repay — is Sentinel's job, and that's exactly what Si was built for.

The pipeline

Five stages, one look at the camera. KYC and underwriting collapse into a single moment.

01
Face Scan
468-landmark capture. Liveness: blink, depth, texture anti-spoof.
02
Identity Lock
Match vs Aadhaar template. 1:N dedup across applicant base.
03
KYC Complete
Full-KYC status in seconds. No forms, no branch visit, no wait.
04
Sentinel Underwrites
Si × Sa × product construct — on bureau + cashflow data only.
05
Offer Deployed
Pre-approved offer per construct, aligned to NBFC risk policy.

Face-first underwriting is coming.

We're building this with our NBFC partners on Sentinel's live underwriting rails. If a verified face can board a flight, it can unlock a fair, fraud-free credit offer — in the time it takes to look up.
