What it decides

The decision, and the evidence it returns

Every call returns the outcome, a certainty factor, a fact identifier and the full evidence tree: the rules that fired, the facts they used and the reasoning that joined them. Backward chaining means the reasoning engine only asks for the data it needs.

Rainbird accelerators produce precise, deterministic and fully auditable decisions without calling an LLM for judgement, and each one can be pivoted to your policy and integrated over API or MCP.

Inside the Accelerator

What's inside, and how it's proven

A decision in principle or a full application goes in, and the graph underwrites it end to end under MCOB 11: income reliability with per-category evidence rules, committed and essential expenditure, the stressed affordability test and its exemptions, credit event severity and recency, property and loan-to-value policy, deposit and source of funds, and lending into retirement. It returns exactly one of four decisions with named reasons, attached conditions, a customer explanation written for Consumer Duty and the audit rationale MCOB requires. Every threshold lives as a fact on the lending policy rather than inside a rule, so recalibration is a data edit, and missing data can never produce an approval, only a referral for the information that is missing.
