The Underwriting Bottleneck

Every MCA deal requires the same manual grind. We built tools to eliminate it.

Manual Process

  • 45+ minutes reviewing each bank statement
  • Missed MCA positions create stacking risk
  • Manual merchant research via Google
  • Tribal knowledge stuck in underwriters' heads
  • Inconsistent decisions across the team

With Draco AI

  • Structured data extracted in seconds
  • Auto-detected positions with payment history
  • Automated business research & verification
  • AI learns and applies your criteria
  • Consistent, auditable analysis every time

Draco Alpha

Statements in. Underwriting report out.

Draco Alpha turns your submissions into complete underwriting analysis, so your underwriters start at the decision instead of the data.

Document extraction

Submission documents, scanned or digital, come out as structured data.

Account reconstruction

Each bank account is pieced back together across all its statements, even when they come from different sources.

Cash flow analysis

Real revenue is separated from transfers, MCA funding and returned items.

Debt stacking detection

Every existing advance is found, with who's being paid, how much, how often, and whether each one is current, in default or paid off.

Business research

The business is looked up on the web, and what turns up is checked against the application.

Risk flags

Automatically detect bounced and stopped payments on lenders, undisclosed transfer accounts, missing statements, and other risk flags.

From Submission to Decision

Every deal moves through the same four steps, in Draco Alpha or through the API.

  1. 01

    Create submission

    Upload the submission as it came in. Each document is automatically classified, inspected, and de-duplicated.

  2. 02

    Prescreen

    Quickly filter out bad deals with a fast, low-cost read on the most recent bank statement. If it's not your deal, don't underwrite it.

  3. 03

    Underwrite

    When the deal is worth pursuing, run full underwriting. Every document is extracted, every account rebuilt into a ledger and the business researched.

  4. 04

    Review & decide

    Read the report, trace any figure back to its account and statement, and model the offer.

Why MCA First

Why We Started with MCA

The MCA industry processes millions of funding applications annually, yet most underwriting is still done manually. We chose to start here because we've done this work ourselves—we know exactly where the bottlenecks are and what underwriters actually need.

MCA underwriting is complex enough to matter, standardized enough to automate, and high-volume enough to deliver real ROI. It's the proving ground for underwriting AI that will eventually serve all of small business lending.
