Response

Repurchase risk (v4 model) output for the loan you described:

  • Input summary: conforming loan, FICO 720, DTI 35, LTV 80, note rate 6.5%, Fannie pathway
  • Calibrated probability of repurchase: 0.067%
  • Risk band: BASE
  • Operating recommendation: STANDARD — within baseline repurchase risk; no enhanced QC required; standard rep-and-warranty reserve allocation.

Reference context:

  • 2013-2023 GSE empirical repurchase rate (population baseline, model's true_positive_rate calibration anchor): 0.154%
  • This loan's 0.067% prediction sits ~57% below the population baseline — the high FICO (720) and moderate DTI (35) combination is structurally favorable.

Comparison to the model's risk-band thresholds (test-set quantiles):

BandProbability rangeReserve treatment
BASE0.00% – 0.287%Standard reserve
P900.287% – 0.456%1.2× reserve scaling
P950.456% – 1.28%1.8× reserve scaling + QC re-review
P991.28%+Pre-funding decline review recommended

Calibration: Test-set AUC 0.81 (2024-2025 cross-cycle holdout); isotonic-calibrated. Predicted probabilities track realized repurchase rates closely across the test population.
