Funding Bottlenecks

Funding Bottlenecks

Funding Bottlenecks

In construction finance,
draws are how money moves.

In construction finance,
draws are how money moves.

In construction finance,
draws are how money moves.

Draw packages are commonly incomplete, causing a number of issues

  • Delayed Funding – Developers can’t access capital when they need it

  • Missed SLAs – Lenders risk service-level penalties and lost trust

  • Vendor Friction – Late payments strain subcontractor relationships

  • Project Bottlenecks – One delay triggers cascading slowdowns

Hidden Errors = Guesswork.

Hidden Errors = Guesswork.

Users faced silent failures and unclear errors—often buried in tooltips or spread across screens. With no centralized view, identifying issues felt like guesswork in a high-stakes game of whack-a-mole.

Guiding Principles

Guiding Principles

Clarity Over Complexity

When AI presents information, it should focus on usability —ensuring insights are easy to understand, reducing cognitive load, and avoiding overwhelming users with data.

Proactive, Not Reactive

AI should help users prevent errors by highlighting them as they occur.

Trust + Transparency

Explain why AI makes certain decisions and to ensure users trust the system’s outputs. It emphasizes explainability, user overrides, and audit trails.

Designing Intentionally with AI

Designing Intentionally with AI

Given the nature of draw-related problems, AI was a natural fit to reduce complexity, surface risks, and streamline decisions.

Where AI Excels

  • Pattern Detection – Flags mismatches, inconsistencies, and missing data across large sets

  • Cognitive Offloading – Acts as a copilot, proactively suggesting fixes and reducing user burden

  • Continuous Learning – Adapts over time to improve recommendations and minimize error rates


Layering in Trust

  • Clarity Explain AI recommendations in plain language with transparent reasoning

  • Control – Enable users to accept, ignore, or override suggestions — all with full audit history

  • Flexibility – Build trust through adaptable workflows, feedback loops, and continuous learning

  • Compliance – Ensure accurate draw submissions, accelerating time to funding

Biggest Opportunities Identified:

  • Document errors and omissions

  • Missing lien waivers

  • Misaligned budgets + timelines

  • Missing or delayed internal approvals

First Up - Documents

Document issues emerged as the most frequent, early-stage risks in the Developer workflow. They created downstream friction, delayed approvals, and undermined trust.

To maximize impact, the prototype focused on resolving document-related risks — where the clearest path to faster funding and trust-building emerged.

The user journey begins when the Developer creates a draw package and ends when the Lender distributes the requested funds. The map reveals exactly where trust breaks down and funding delays begin.

Visual + Verbal Cues

Trust is built through subtle visual and verbal cues. helping users instantly understand what it can do for you, while allowing you to remain in control — reinforcing RiskAdvisor’s role as a copilot, not a black box.

  • Animations to draw attention to AI driven actions

  • AI-generated suggestions are clearly labeled with phrases like “Fix For Me”, and "Auto-Assign" , always with a consistent “AI Recommended Solution” tag.

  • Distinctive rounded buttons with a gradient are only use for AI Actions, to differentiate from user actions.

  • Language like With your permission… and Would you like to… reinforces a collaborative tone, never prescriptive.

Learning through Feedback

Specific and contextual feedback builds a system that listens, adapts, and earns trust over time.
