Comparison
Traditional screening was built around files. Burnt is built around facts.
Most screening workflows still ask teams to trust uploads, chase missing documents, and compare separate reports. Burnt starts with applicant-consented sources and a single reviewable workflow.

Short answer
How is Burnt different from traditional tenant screening?
Traditional tenant screening often relies on uploaded documents and separate credit, background, and eviction reports. Burnt improves the workflow by verifying income and employment at the source, tracking applicant progress, and presenting partner checks with criteria context.
Screening workflow
The whole flow fits on one line.
Create the package, send the link, guide the renter, review the result. That simple path keeps screening understandable for applicants and manageable for teams.
Send the link
Invite the applicant by email, SMS, listing, dashboard action, or connected workflow.
Applicant completes
The renter consents, verifies identity, connects sources, and completes requested partner steps.
Review one package
Your team sees status, source-backed facts, partner context, exceptions, and notes together.
Product jobs
