Where LO Radar goes further.
Inbound leads vs existing past clients
Shape's strength is taking a fresh lead and moving it through the pipeline efficiently. LO Radar's strength is mining the past-client book you've already built — finding the refi opportunities, ARM resets, and anniversary triggers hiding in contacts you closed years ago.
Pipeline NPV — book as an asset
Shape tracks active opportunities. LO Radar tracks the value of your career book as a single daily number — the asset you've built across every shop you've worked at.
Rate-aware, ARM-aware, anniversary-aware intelligence
Shape's automation fires on stage changes and time. LO Radar's intelligence fires on financial reality — today's rate vs each borrower's note rate, ARM proximity, anniversary year, credit movement.
Voice Training + compliance posture per draft
Shape templates are pre-written. LO Radar learns each LO's specific voice and ships compliance posture (RESPA / TILA / TCPA) inline on every draft.
