Workflow Processing

The system automatically processes applications through these stages:

Validation - Check completeness and basic requirements
Document Verification - AI-powered document analysis
Credit Check - Credit bureau integration
Risk Assessment - Multi-factor risk evaluation
Decision Making - Automated approval/rejection
Human Review - Manual review when needed

🧠 AI Workflows

LangGraph Workflow

The loan origination workflow is implemented using LangGraph:

# Workflow nodes
validate_application → verify_documents → credit_check → risk_assessment → make_decision
                                    ↓
                              human_review (conditional)

LangChain Chains

Specialized chains handle specific AI tasks:

DocumentAnalysisChain - Analyze uploaded documents
IncomeVerificationChain - Verify income across sources
CreditAnalysisChain - Comprehensive credit assessment
LoanExplanationChain - Generate decision explanations

Example Workflow Usage

from losa.workflows.loan_workflow import process_loan_application
from losa.models.loan import LoanApplication

# Process application through complete workflow
processed_app = await process_loan_application(application)

# Check results
if processed_app.decision:
    print(f"Decision: {processed_app.decision.decision}")
    print(f"Approved Amount: ${processed_app.decision.approved_amount}")
    print(f"Interest Rate: {processed_app.decision.interest_rate}%")

💾 Database Schema
