Benefit — ECOA reason-code stance
What Snapshot-grade ECOA / Reg B stance actually saves you
Reason-code accuracy is the fastest per-application penalty under Reg B. Dated independent evidence changes the CFPB stance from "possible pattern-or-practice" to "documented isolated events remediated."
The three moments where it matters
- CFPB supervisory exam. Examiner asks how the AI's reason codes trace to actual features of the decision. Dated model-version + input-snapshot + decision-hash record is the answer. "We asked the vendor" is not.
- Individual applicant lawsuit. Reg B carries actual + punitive damages + attorneys' fees. Dated evidence separates individual-error from pattern-or-practice.
- DOJ referral trigger. Pattern-or-practice finding at CFPB can route to DOJ. Dated remediation record is the single strongest input to the pattern-or-practice determination.
Dollar frame
Reg B per-application penalty: statutory damages + up to $10K punitive per applicant. Aggregate exposure scales with volume of adverse-action notices in the drift window.
Pattern-or-practice CMP: $5M-$50M range under CFPB circular-based enforcement. DOJ pattern-or-practice referral adds federal-court exposure.
Preventive stance value: $499 Snapshot documents dated reason-code traceability. Compresses pattern-or-practice framing back to isolated-events framing.

What "having it" looks like
Green: Snapshot on file. Every sampled decision reproduces cleanly. Adverse-action reason codes trace to actual model state. CFPB exam moves to the next control area.
Red: Model outputs cannot be pinned to specific version + inputs. Reason codes cannot be verified as accurate. CFPB probe deepens; pattern-or-practice frame opens.
