The short version
Candor’s distinctive proposition is autonomous underwriting backed by a warranty on income calculations and cleared conditions. For lenders focused on de-risking the underwriting decision itself, that warranty is a real and differentiated offering.
Sei does the same core underwriting work — extracting data, calculating income, and clearing conditions against the Fannie, Freddie, and FHA handbooks plus overlays with citations — and adds rep-and-warrant relief through Fannie’s Income Calculator. The same managed platform also runs pre-underwriting, Closing Disclosure automation, post-close QC, and borrower-facing voice.
WHAT CANDOR TECHNOLOGY DOES
Candor Technology’s Loan Engineering System autonomously underwrites loans and clears conditions using a patented expert system, backed by an insurance-backed defect/buyback warranty.

Where Sei is different
Cited, guideline-validated underwriting
Conditions clear against the Fannie Mae Selling Guide, Freddie Mac, and FHA Handbook 4000.1 plus your investor overlays — each item confidence-scored and cited to the source document, so reviewers handle only true exceptions.
Rep-and-warrant-eligible income
Income is calculated across W-2, self-employed (Schedule C, K-1, S-corp, 1099), rental, and retirement income, with Fannie Mae Income Calculator integration — so eligible calculations earn representation-and-warranty relief and lower repurchase risk.
Fully managed, end to end
Sei builds, deploys, and runs the agents and workflows for you — from the first sales call through underwriting, closing, and post-close QC. You get outcomes, not a toolkit to configure, typically live in weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Sei extracts data, calculates income, and clears conditions against the Fannie, Freddie, and FHA handbooks plus your overlays, with a confidence score and source citation on each item so reviewers handle only the exceptions.
Sei’s focus is breadth and rep-and-warrant relief through Fannie’s Income Calculator rather than an insurance-backed warranty: income, underwriting, closing, QC, and voice on one managed platform. If a warranty is a hard requirement, raise it during evaluation.
