Presale Title Intake

One scan. Complete title intelligence at intake.

Built for the work your 30 person centralized AZ team does today on titles arriving from 300+ auctions.

01 - Reassignment
Eligibility diagnosis and correction path

Pass/fail per title with the exact defect, affected field, and correction path flagged. 50-state rules, 3,000+ county overlays.

02 - NMVTIS
Embedded history check

Junk, salvage, and theft flags surface with every scan. No separate portal or manual lookup required.

03 - Resolution
Auto-filled correction forms

Affidavits of correction, POAs, and reassignment forms auto-generated and pre-filled when issues are flagged.

What the Build Path Requires

Four capability stacks, layered.

Title OCR

Handwriting, checkboxes, signatures, stamps across varied 50-state forms. Off-the-shelf gets you to 70-80%. Production-grade requires fine-tuning.

Data validation layer

Cleaning, normalization, cross-field consistency. One misread VIN or missed checkbox kills the deal downstream.

50-state rules engine

Reassignment logic encoded across 50 states with county overlays. Testable, maintainable rules with coverage for every edge case.

Ongoing rules + DMV ops

Multiple rule changes per state per year. Under-invest and accuracy degrades, clerks revert to manual, and the ROI evaporates.
