Frequently asked questions about AURA Risk Navigator

What is AURA Risk Navigator?

AURA Risk Navigator is an automated, guided appraisal review solution from Clear Capital. It analyzes appraisal files to automatically identify, prioritize, and document risk. By pinpointing exactly which files need attention, it helps teams reduce manual review time, control labor costs, and focus their expertise where it matters most.

UAD 3.6 brings a massive expansion of property data and dynamic fields. AURA Risk Navigator cuts through this extra complexity by evaluating the expanded datasets and highlighting key findings. It directs reviewers straight to the specific sections, ratings, or discrepancies that need attention — making it easy to navigate UAD 3.6 without getting bogged down in the extra data.

Manual review typically takes over 30 minutes and costs around $50 per file. Lenders can cut this manual effort in half by using AURA Risk Navigator to:

  • Filter and prioritize: Automatically spot low-risk files and highlight high-risk findings so reviewers know where to start.
  • Unify the workspace: Review findings, leave comments, and request appraisal revisions all in one place instead of jumping between systems.
  • Streamline decisions: Guide reviewers through prioritized tasks so they can act on data faster and move files forward.

Repurchase risk happens when critical valuation or eligibility issues slip through before a loan goes to investors. AURA Risk Navigator helps lenders detect these fundamental issues upfront by automatically scanning files for hidden defects, valuation inconsistencies, and compliance errors. Catching and resolving these red flags before approval protects loan eligibility and investor delivery.

Proof of review is clear, auditable documentation that proves a lender thoroughly evaluated an appraisal’s risk before closing or selling the loan. AURA Risk Navigator automatically creates a clear, downloadable proof-of-review file that captures:

  • Exactly what findings and data points were reviewed.
  • What actions or revisions were taken.
  • How final decisions were supported, neatly packaged to send directly to investors.

Yes. AURA Risk Navigator gives review teams a more efficient way to handle rising loan volumes without adding extra headcount. By using automated risk filtering to handle routine checks and guiding reviewers through high-priority tasks, existing teams can work through files significantly faster, maintain consistent review standards, and scale operations effortlessly.
