Verify Borrower Businesses with AI-Powered Visual Intelligence
Before you approve that loan, know the business is real. Alethea lets lenders remotely verify bakeries, car washes, laundromats, and any small business — with authenticated photos, AI condition assessment, and GPS-confirmed location proof.
Why Loan Verification Is Broken
Traditional methods of verifying borrower businesses leave lenders exposed to fraud, inefficiency, and inconsistent data.
Manual Inspections Don't Scale
Sending field agents to physically visit every borrower's business is expensive, slow, and impossible to scale across hundreds or thousands of loan applications. Each inspection can cost $200+ and take days to schedule.
Submitted Photos Can't Be Trusted
When borrowers submit their own photos, you have no way to know if the images are real, current, or even of the right business. Stock photos, old images, and photos of someone else's business are common fraud vectors.
No Standardized Assessment
Without a consistent framework, every loan officer evaluates businesses differently. There's no repeatable, data-driven way to assess business condition, equipment state, or operational readiness remotely.
How Alethea Solves It
Two powerful pillars working together — image authenticity verification and intelligent data extraction — plus GPS geofencing and app-controlled capture.
Image Authenticity Verification
Every photo captured through the Alethea app is verified for authenticity in real-time. Our AI detects manipulation, AI-generated content, re-uploaded images, and screen captures — ensuring you only see genuine, freshly-taken photos of the actual business.
- Deepfake and AI-generation detection
- Manipulation and editing analysis
- Screenshot and re-upload blocking
- Real-time capture enforcement
Custom Intelligence Extraction
Beyond just verifying the photo is real, Alethea's AI extracts structured intelligence tailored to your lending criteria. Assess kitchen cleanliness, equipment condition, wall state, signage quality, hygiene indicators, and more — all automatically from the submitted images.
- Kitchen and facility cleanliness scoring
- Equipment condition assessment
- Wall, floor, and structural state analysis
- Hygiene and safety indicator detection
GPS Geofencing
Confirm photos are taken at the claimed business address. Set a radius, and Alethea verifies the borrower's GPS coordinates match the loan application location.
App-Controlled Capture
Borrowers download the Alethea app and follow guided photo sequences in real-time. No gallery uploads — every image is captured live through the app, ensuring authenticity from the source.
