Speed is how Commercial Lenders win deals

The same deal is keyed again and again
One loan gets re-entered across the LOS, the core and doc prep, with errors at each step.
Template engines fill fields, they don't reason
They can't interpret credit policy, deal structure or state-by-state rules.
Outside counsel doesn't scale
It adds cost and days to every closing as the portfolio grows.
Speed decides deals
 Closings that sit for weeks lose borrowers to faster competitors.
Most institutions will modernize through platforms they already trust
56% plan to adopt AI for due diligence and closing through an existing provider, vs 11% through a standalone tool

What You'll Take Away

The closing process today

Commercial closings still take weeks: the same deal is keyed across the LOS, the core and doc prep, template engines can't read policy or jurisdiction, and outside counsel touches every file.

Why closing was never a template problem

A closing package means reasoning over messy source documents, applying your institution's own policy and accounting for state-by-state differences. The legacy doc-prep stack was never built for that.
