Use case · Loan & title underwriting

Put land-risk in the underwriting file — for the loan and for the title.

Construction-loan and title underwriting already weighs flood, zoning, and the title record. KILO adds the exposures they leave out — cultural-resource sensitivity, the cesspool mandate (plus the wider water picture — supply feasibility, nearshore quality, federal CWA §401/§404 triggers), and shoreline setback — in a cited, file-ready read.

The problem

The underwriting file is missing a whole class of risk.

A construction-loan or title file is built on flood maps, zoning, and the record of title. None of those capture that a parcel's cultural-resource sensitivity makes ground disturbance a §6E-42 matter, that an Act 125 cesspool conversion is owed by 2050, or that a shoreline setback constrains buildable area. Each is a real exposure to value, timeline, and marketability.

Underwritten on coarse proxies or not at all, that risk is carried silently. KILO makes it an explicit, cited line in the file.

For the file

A cited, parcel-level read that shows its work.

KILO returns a parcel-level risk band, a confidence breakdown, and the regulatory cascade the parcel triggers — every conclusion traced to a public source. It states explicitly when a check returns negative, so a clean read is documented as one rather than assumed.

Wastewater classification

Which wastewater outcome attaches to the parcel.

KILO cross-references the HCPT cesspool inventory, DOH OSDS coverage, and C&C sewer mains to classify a parcel's on-site wastewater situation — a recurring value and disclosure question on Hawaiʻi files:

Wastewater classification · live for every Oʻahu parcelFive outcomes, one signal
Cesspool documented (HCPT 2022)Cesspool replacement · mandatory by 2050 under Act 125HIGH
Cesspool in DOH OSDS only (HCPT gap)Cesspool replacement · older registrationHIGH
Septic or ATU documented (OSDS 2008)Existing on-site · replacement scenario appliesMOD
Sewer mains within ~100mSewer-lateral connection · smallest plausible footprintLOW
No sewer, no on-site documentedLikely septic for new constructionMOD

How it works

Three steps, into the file.

01
Pull the parcel
A cited risk band, a confidence breakdown, and the regulatory cascade — for one TMK or a batch.
02
Weigh the tail
The discovery conditional and the cesspool mandate — the exposures coarse geographic proxies miss.
03
Document it
A read that shows its work, ready to attach to the underwriting or title file.
