      <image:title>A credit score ladder rising from 300 to 850, divided into five labeled bands — poor below 580, fair 580 to 669, good 670 to 739, very good 740 to 799, and exceptional 800 and above. Alongside the ladder, five lever arms are sized to the published FICO factor weights: payment history 35 percent, amounts owed 30 percent, length of history 15 percent, credit mix 10 percent, and new credit 10 percent. The payment-history and utilization levers are drawn longest because moving those two controls the most band-to-band movement in the simulator, while the inquiry lever barely shifts the rungs.</image:title>

      <image:title>The four-level CRA rating gauge is the visual centerpiece: a composite indicator sliding across the official public scale — Outstanding, Satisfactory, Needs to Improve, Substantial Noncompliance. Asset-tier chips for Small, Intermediate Small, and Large banks sit above the test columns; choosing Small Bank grays out the Investment and Service inputs, the tier-conditional behavior at the heart of the tool. The Lending, Investment, and Service columns each hold a self-rated posture, with the Lending column flagged as the heaviest-weighted input, and the three postures merge into the composite gauge — a weak lending record caps a strong Investment and Service profile, while a strong lending record lifts the whole composite.</image:title>

      <image:title>The core capital gains mechanism on one price path: ten shares bought at $40 each create a $400 cost basis, which becomes $405 after a $5 fee; fourteen months later they sell at $70 each for $700, or $695 after the selling fee, producing a $290 gain that lands in the long-term column because the holding line crosses the one-year mark.</image:title>

      <image:title>Amortization split for a $10,000 personal loan at 11% APR over 36 months: the fixed $327 payment divides differently every month — month one sends about $92 to interest and $236 to the balance, while month 36 sends about $324 to principal and just $3 to interest. Watching the interest slice shrink is the lesson: every month you keep paying, the same $327 does more good, and total interest ends up near $1,786 on an $11,786 total repayment.</image:title>

      <image:title>A five-station inspection line between data capture and exam day — Capture, Geocode, Classify, Complete, Certify — drawn as a production line, not a checklist, with each station stamped by the error family it stops: missing records, wrong census tracts, misclassified reportability, blank fields, and unverified coding. Each record rides the line and returns one of three states — pass, flag, or fail. Flags hold for a second reviewer; a fail stops the line and drops through the exception exit into the correction-memo process before the file ever reaches the examiner.</image:title>
