Whether to pause a product pending a lookback from adverse-action notice

SITUATION Fair-lending officer in a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike has one working extract — adverse-action notice principal-reason sample — after a HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits. If adverse-action notice principal-reason sample cannot support to pause a product, the only defensible Fair Lending output is hold.

DECISION Fair-lending officer 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 adverse-action notice principal-reason sample after a HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits.

HYPOTHESES TO TEST 1. A HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits is noise around an already-controlled Pricing and Credit Limits process in a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike, given adverse-action notice principal-reason sample. 2. A HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits is the event in adverse-action notice principal-reason sample that forces Remove access or reverse the item for fair-lending officer under Fair Lending. 3. Adverse-action notice principal-reason sample shows a one-file miss after a HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits, not a Pricing and Credit Limits program failure. 4. Adverse-action notice principal-reason sample cannot decide to pause a product yet after a HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits; hold is the only Fair Lending close a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike can defend.

ANALYSIS REQUIRED 1. Compare adverse-action notice principal-reason sample to similarly situated files, second-review notes, and reason codes after a HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits. 2. Flag any disparate-impact table fair-lending officer cannot explain from adverse-action notice principal-reason sample. 3. Test a documented exception versus a pattern a mortgage company after a pricing-regression spike must defend. 4. For this Fair Lending Pricing and Credit Limits file, read adverse-action notice principal-reason sample against a HMDA resubmission that still fails quality edits and write the one fact that would move to pause a product for fair-lending officer.

The follow-on Pricing and Credit Limits action is what fair-lending officer does next: implement the option, assign an owner, and log the missing fact.
