Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
Turning federal program data into insights that guide oversight, anticipate risk, and protect public capital
More Data.
Clearer Decisions.
Federal credit and grant agencies receive more loans, claims, filings, and reports than their teams can examine individually.
Summit applies data science to help agencies where attention is needed and uncover information across structured records and documents. We turn large volumes of data into rankings, summaries, and portfolio insights that staff can act on and explain.
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence Services
-
We build classification and risk-ranking models from historical filings, claims, and enforcement outcomes to help agencies identify risk concentration and prioritize lenders, servicers, or plans for review.
-
We build, validate, and document predictive models for defaults, prepayments, claims, and recoveries (from loan-level hazard models to portfolio simulations) to withstand review by the Office of Management and Budget, Office of Inspector General, and auditors.
-
We apply natural language processing and large language models to extract, classify, and summarize information from loan files, servicer correspondence, grant narratives, and comment letters, with human review of every decision-informing result.
-
We build integrated data environments, automated pipelines, and dashboards that provide program staff a consistent, current portfolio view and the ability to explore more questions.
Maintaining Human Oversight
Our teams use AI to accelerate analysis while preserving human judgment. AI helps us model development, code review, documentation, and testing. Models must meet federal credit program standards: documented assumptions, out-of-sample testing, interpretability, bias assessment, and post-deployment monitoring.
What Sets Summit Apart
Our data scientists work alongside economists and statisticians with decades of federal credit experience. That collaboration connects analytical methods with the realities of claims, guarantees, improper payments, and public accountability.
-
Expertise Across Disciplines
Our teams blend technical skills with decades of federal credit experience, including claims, guarantees, and improper payments knowledge.
-
Financial Institution Discipline
We apply private-lender model risk practices—validation, challenge, monitoring—to federal statutory, budgetary, and accountability requirements.
-
AI That Accelerates Delivery
Summit uses AI to speed up model development, code review, documentation, and testing while centralizing human judgment.
-
Analysis Staff Can Build On
We create data environments and dashboards that allow program teams to explore new questions.
