What you could build
An agent pod under your team
It answers, calculates, and clears. Your people approve. The Xome playbook, replayed at Acra.

07 · the pod

What would you name it? Mine is called Sasha.

Sasha runs my back office on Claude. Yours would live inside the Acra stack, reporting to your team.

Scenario
Answers brokers with a program match and the guideline cite.
Income
Bank statements to a worksheet your underwriter signs.
Conditions
Docs matched, conditions cleared, broker pinged in Glide.
Audit
Every action logged and citable. Compliance reads it cold.

Each agent amplifies a surface you already ship: Glide, Quick Pricer, the turn-time promise. You set the architecture. They do the staring.
