And pre-CD 48‑hour fee check reduced TRID cures; still needs CE refreshers https://files.consumerfinance.gov/f/documents/cfpb_tila-respa_integrated-disclosure-guide_to_the_loan_estimate_and_closing_disclosure_forms.pdf.

@r_thompson32 building on fee checks, we set up a daily “tolerance audit” in Encompass that flags 0%/10% buckets before LE/CD runs, which cut our TRID cures by half. On rate lock, the LOS forces a short “changed circumstance” note and reissues the LE within the 3‑day clock; if title/HOA is soft, we default to the higher of vendor quote vs county template. Small caveat: it only works if ops refreshes fee templates quarterly.
