Field notes
Sidecar targets the operational gap between outsourced underwriting labor and the different policy documents supplied by each credit union. The homepage uses a Saturday-heavy illustrative queue—35% of applications on Saturday versus 15% on Sunday—to explain why a fixed roster struggles with variable demand. Its proposed inputs are concrete: one hotsheet and one application, processed alongside the existing loan-origination system while the underwriter retains decision authority.
