SYSTEM EXPORT

Pulled straight from another system. Already digital, rarely labelled the way you would want.

SECURE UPLOAD

Dropped into a portal by whoever closed the file, named however they happened to name it.

EMAIL

Arrives as an attachment, often mid-thread, with no consistent file name or page order.

TITLE COMPANY

Comes through the closing agent, usually as one bundled file for the whole package.

FAX

Still real in this industry. A flat scan, no metadata, no file name worth trusting.

COURIER

A physical delivery, scanned in after the fact, so the digital copy inherits whatever order the paper was in.

CONDITIONAL PROCESSING

RELAI

SPLIT, NAMED, FILED

THE FILE, AS RECEIVED
