Project Description


Filing for bankruptcy can be stressful for people. This already difficult time becomes increasingly overwhelming when you're faced with an extended form asking you about the entirety of your financial situation.

'The Easier Way Out' project aims at making it simpler for applicants to complete the application and easier to provide their income and asset information. Our solution is two-folds:
1. Digitising the form (i.e. debtor's petition).
2. Using algorithms and statistical modelling to pre-populate form fields based on documents and information provided by the applicant (e.g. bank statements, superannuation statements, property statements, etc.).
