What each record holds against them

CertifID: Prevents loss rather than producing loans, so the case rests on avoided fraud. ICE Fraud Monitor: Launched 1 June 2026, so no independent evidence on detection quality exists. ICE Fraud Monitor: Value requires Encompass; no path published for any other origination system. ICE Fraud Monitor: No pricing disclosed, and fraud cost folded into an Encompass renewal resists benchmarking.
