Key differentiator is combining Borrower, Loan, and Historical Performance data Data to build models comes from over 200,000 loans in the past few years (no old data) Loans represent over 400 educational institutions – 4 years public and private, 2 years public
and private, career schools, and other Results of the models are used with servicers and collection agencies for specific campaigns
and tactics on specific loans Correlations are measured by categories and numerical results
Gain Model includes data and analytics to serve different aspects of the student lifecycle:

Case 6 - Loan Valuation and Sale BPA typically recommends keeping the High Value Loans as expected cash
flows are significantly higher than the expected sale price. Sale Pool Loans fall within the range where the expected sale price is higher
than the expected future cash flows Low Value Loans are typically non-performing and would realize the lowest
sale price. Recommendation many times is to hold these loans until they are re-performing so that they can achieve a higher sales price
