# Informative Research # Informative Research A credit vendor integrated for consumer credit reports, and present in the mortgage-insurance roster. Informative Research is integrated for credit and also holds a position in the mortgage-insurance ordering. A vendor appearing in two unrelated verticals is normal here: the integration artifacts are per vendor endpoint, so serving a second vertical means a second set of configurations rather than a second relationship. Both surfaces return canonical responses — credit classes on one side, carrier eligibility on the other — and neither product's contract names the vendor. ## Products it serves - Credit - Connection ## Position in the ordering - Mortgage Insurance essentarchenactradianmgicnationalmi - Credit configured per lender ## How this integration is built - **connection configuration** — The wire protocol. One repository per vendor API call, not per vendor. - **language configuration** — The field mapping between the vendor's vocabulary and the canonical model. - **flow file** — The four-way translation: canonical request, vendor request, vendor response, canonical response. - **waterfall priority** — One line naming where this vendor sits in the vertical's ordering. - **status call** — Activating the vendor for a lender, optionally with the lender's own credentials. ## Evidence This vendor is on the roster because each of the following resolves to a committed artifact. - `credit-pp-data product/data/flows/informative_research.json` - `insurance-data product/data/flows/arch.json` - `mortgage-verification-credit-informative_research`
