At a Glance

• A lean vendor program’s real constraint isn’t hustle or talent—it’s that a handful of people spend the day chasing stips, re-keying apps, and guessing who to call.
• AI’s payoff is reclaimed capacity aimed precisely: it lets three people cover 60 dealers, a maturity book, and a submission queue the way a big team covers ten times that.
• The plays are specific: score the silent dealers with a reason to call, draft every end-of-term note, read your own won/lost for where the yes actually funds, and clear clean submissions to a same-day approval.
• One bright line: the model finds, drafts, prioritizes, and clears mechanical work. A person still decides credit.
