The mortgage file should think with the team
A loan file is not a folder. It is a state machine with risk, evidence, timing, and next action.

Thesis
The best mortgage workflow shows what is missing, what changed, who owns it, and what decision is waiting.

A file is a moving decision
A mortgage file changes every time a document arrives, a condition is cleared, pricing moves, income is explained, or a borrower asks a better question. Treating that file as a static folder hides the real work.
The safer model is a living state machine: what is known, what is missing, who owns the next item, which deadline matters, and what decision cannot be made yet.
What the team should see
A good file view should separate evidence from conversation. Notes are useful, but the file needs durable states: submitted, reviewed, conditioned, cleared, priced, disclosed, locked, approved, closed.
The borrower also needs a clear version of the same truth. They do not need internal noise. They need to know what is needed, why it matters, and what happens after they provide it.
Where Luna can help
Luna should not replace the licensed mortgage workflow. Luna should help route intent, collect clean questions, and make sure the right PMA process receives the request.
The public site should invite a conversation, while PMAFin and the approved mortgage systems hold the sensitive loan work.
Next step
Connect this thinking to PMAFin calculator, intake, document, and condition workflows.
