Assess whether to pause a product pending a lookback (c4e49f)

SITUATION The working file is geographic application and origination heat map after an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls. CRA strategist in a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike has to name Remove access or reverse the item or Temporary compensating control for this Fair Lending CRA and Special-Purpose Programs file.

DECISION CRA strategist in a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike must choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold using geographic application and origination heat map after an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. An exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls is noise around an already-controlled CRA and Special-Purpose Programs process in a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike, given geographic application and origination heat map. 2. An exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls is the event in geographic application and origination heat map that forces Remove access or reverse the item for CRA strategist under Fair Lending. 3. Geographic application and origination heat map shows a one-file miss after an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls, not a CRA and Special-Purpose Programs program failure. 4. Geographic application and origination heat map cannot decide to pause a product yet after an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls; hold is the only Fair Lending close a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Test a documented exception versus a pattern a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike must defend. 2. Match the adverse-action language to the facts in geographic application and origination heat map. 3. Check HMDA coding and underwriting policy against to pause a product. 4. For this Fair Lending CRA and Special-Purpose Programs file, read geographic application and origination heat map against an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls and write the one fact that would move to pause a product for CRA strategist.

RECOMMENDATION Choose Remove access or reverse the item / Temporary compensating control / Approve a documented exception / Hold on this Fair Lending / CRA and Special-Purpose Programs packet (geographic application and origination heat map after an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls). If geographic application and origination heat map cannot force a Fair Lending label under CRA and Special-Purpose Programs, stop. If geographic application and origination heat map after an exception rate twice as high for one group after credit controls cannot support Remove access or reverse the item versus Temporary compensating control on this Fair Lending CRA and Special-Purpose Programs close, CRA strategist must do not infer a control or scheme beyond the transaction and entitlement evidence.
