Findings

The source catalog is balanced across four high-pressure application categories.

25 sources per category

This was a deliberate sampling frame, not an estimate of category prevalence.

Application guidance is split across web pages and downloadable files.

82 HTML sources and 18 PDF sources

Applicants often need to collect instructions from more than one format; the index preserves direct source URLs.

The public guidance ecosystem is fragmented across authorities, institutions, and private operators.

21 government/public-authority sources; 16 financial/GSE sources; 12 education/public-institution sources

No single checklist should be treated as universal. The actual requester’s current instructions control.

Deep-reviewed primary sources repeatedly center factual identity, income/employment, assets/funds, and traceable support.

8 primary sources deep coded

This pattern is a preparation framework, not a claim that every one of the 100 cataloged sources asks for every field.

Limitations
  • The 100-source catalog records public source metadata and URLs. Most records were not coded line-by-line in this release.
  • Only records marked deepContentCoding=true support item-level preparation-signal findings.
  • Requirements change by requester, jurisdiction, program, and date.
  • The report does not measure approval odds, market share, ranking, or applicant outcomes.
Correction policy

Sources may change or disappear. Corrections should identify the record ID, current URL, and evidence. ApprovalPrep will update the catalog without rewriting historical claims beyond the evidence.
