Title and escrow ROI calculator

If ProofRelay saves only a few minutes per file, the math can work on labor alone.

This calculator is an illustrative savings estimate for title companies, escrow teams, lenders, and underwriters. It is not a promise of savings and does not assume fraud prevention.

ALTA cybercrime study

More than 40% of title companies reported at least one monthly attempt to change wiring/payoff instructions; 7% wired funds to a fraudulent account and 13% said customers did.

FBI IC3 2024 report

Business Email Compromise losses were about $2.77B and real estate fraud losses were about $173.6M in reported 2024 losses.

O*NET / BLS wage context

Title examiners, abstractors, and searchers provide a wage benchmark; the calculator uses $40/hour loaded cost as a conservative editable default.

ROI calculator

Calculate break-even minutes per file.

Defaults are illustrative, not guaranteed. Replace them with your actual file volume, loaded cost, rework rate, and current control spend.

Illustrative value includes labor leverage at 5.0 minutes saved/file, rework-loop reduction, audit/dispute retrieval savings, and evidence-layer leverage on current control spend. It does not assume fraud prevention or guarantee reduced losses.

Sales framing: if ProofRelay saves just 4 minutes per file, a managed layer can pay for itself on labor alone. Rework, delayed closings, audit retrieval, and better evidence around wires are upside.

Boundary

ProofRelay verifies submitted evidence structure, integrity, authority metadata, receipt continuity, and review status. It does not certify legal title, escrow status, property ownership, legal compliance, custody, funds availability, or real-world truth.
