Executive summary |
Pipeline carrying $204.5M across 567 active opportunities, broadly in line with April's run rate. Current month is pacing flat on new enquiries (2.1/day) and slightly behind on settlement velocity, but with stronger pipeline depth at stages 6–9 — 134 opportunities at Submitted to Lender or beyond ($66.8M in $-at-stake).
The forward signal is clean: those 134 stage-6+ opps are the deals likely to settle in May or early June. Settlement projection holds at $18–19M for May month-end, in line with April's $19.8M.

FHB share is up modestly in May MTD — worth confirming whether the social ad suite (job 2616) is starting to move the dial as it approaches launch.

NAB sits at 33% of May submissions — concentration worth watching. April was more spread (NAB 24%, Westpac 21%, Macquarie 18%, ANZ 16%, CBA 12%, others 9%).

Data hygiene flags |
- 11 active fixed-rate loans missing FR expiry date
- 23 settled loans missing LVR
- FHB flag still zero across all 5,796 loan records — single biggest segmentation gap
Worth allocating Liam half a day to populate these in May. Each FR-expiry date populated unlocks one retention call.

Insights · what's moving |
- Pipeline depth is healthy. 134 opps at stage 6+ is your strongest mid-month inventory in the recent window — translates to the settlement run rate holding through May.
- New-enquiry flow is steady at 2.1/day. No acceleration yet from the social ad suite (still pre-launch, copy approval pending).
- Lender concentration creeping toward NAB. April spread was healthy; May is showing concentration. Worth a conscious split if the deal logic allows.
