Novus Strategy launches Pathfinder mortgage simulator

Novus Strategy has launched Pathfinder, a mortgage journey simulator designed to assist lenders in navigating homebuying reforms. The platform utilizes real-world data to allow lenders to test improvements to mortgage applications and the homebuying process in a low-risk environment.

By simulating different scenarios, the tool enables lenders to assess priorities, partnerships, and potential efficiency gains in real time. According to Pathfinder product director Kevin Duncan, the simulator allows institutions to see likely outcomes before committing to investments, potentially reducing the redesign process for large lenders to as little as four weeks. The platform includes features such as lender benchmarking and vendor radar to help address industry configuration challenges.
