The short version
Paradatec is a specialist, battle-tested OCR engine — classifying a very broad set of mortgage document types and extracting structured data at high volume, including layouts it hasn’t seen before. As an extraction component, it’s deep and proven.
Sei treats extraction as the starting point. Its agentic OCR feeds income calculation for rep-and-warrant relief through Fannie’s Income Calculator and condition clearing against the Fannie, Freddie, and FHA handbooks plus overlays with citations. The same managed platform also automates the Closing Disclosure, runs post-close QC, and handles borrower-facing voice.
WHAT PARADATEC DOES
Paradatec is a long-established OCR/ICR and intelligent document-processing vendor that classifies mortgage documents and extracts structured data across the loan lifecycle.

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
Sei includes agentic OCR, but it doesn’t stop at extraction — it calculates rep-and-warrant-eligible income, validates against agency guidelines and your overlays, and clears conditions with citations, then adds closing, QC, and voice.

Income calculation for rep-and-warrant relief, cited underwriting, Closing Disclosure automation, pre/post-close QC, and borrower-facing voice.
