How We Engage

Assess. Build. Run until you don't need us.

Three engagement types, priced up front. Most institutions start with a diagnostic; some come to us with a build already scoped; a few need a specialist on the ground next month. All three end with the capability in your hands.

Assess

Diagnostics & Advisory

Fixed fee · Weeks, not quarters

An honest read on where you stand and what to fix first. Yours to keep, whoever you hire.

  • Data Governance Diagnostic (four to eight weeks)
  • Transformation & AI-readiness assessment
  • Regulatory gap analysis and remediation roadmap
  • Vendor-neutral build-versus-buy and vendor selection
  • Board and executive advisory; program assurance
Build

Fixed-Price Delivery

Fixed price · Production, not pilot theater

Working systems in your environment, with knowledge transfer written into the plan from day one.

  • Data platforms, governance tooling, and unified customer views
  • Financial-crime monitoring and compliance automation
  • AI assistants and agentic workflows in production
  • Integration layers, migrations, and digital channels
  • Operating model, transformation office, and role design
Run

Managed Intelligence

Month-to-month · Cancel anytime

We operate alongside your team until they're ready to take it on entirely. Then we leave.

  • Model monitoring, tuning, and retraining
  • Ongoing optimization against agreed KPIs
  • Embedded specialists and program leadership
  • Shared monitoring services for smaller institutions
  • Training and capability transfer on a schedule

For fintechs and smaller institutions, the same capabilities are available as fixed-scope, fixed-price packages sized to the institution.

What We Work On

Eight areas. One foundation.

Every area below depends on the first one. That's not a sales sequence. It's how the systems actually fail when the order is wrong.

Foundation

Data Foundation & Governance

The operating system for your data, so every report, model, and AI agent runs on the same trusted facts: one official dictionary, automated quality rules in a closed loop, metadata and lineage, classification and grading, and a unified customer file. It sits above the core and never modifies it. Most engagements start with a fixed-fee Data Governance Diagnostic: four to eight weeks that tell you exactly where you stand, what it's costing you, and what to fix first.

Data Governance Diagnostic Data standards & dictionary Data quality rule factory Metadata & lineage Classification & grading Unified customer file (ECIF) Data asset catalogue
Financial Crime

Fraud, AML & Financial Crime

Machine-learning transaction monitoring that surfaces suspicious accounts while there is still time to act, with prioritized cases instead of rule floods. Screening, case management, and investigator workflows that hold up under regulatory review, deployed inside your perimeter. For smaller institutions, available as a shared monitoring service.

ML transaction monitoring Fraud detection & response Sanctions & PEP screening Case management SAR / STR workflow Shared monitoring service
Risk & Compliance

Risk, Regulatory & Compliance Automation

Regulatory reporting that runs itself. Early warning on credit deterioration at the 30/60/90-day marks, before it hits your books. Regulatory change programs delivered to supervisory deadlines. And because regulators increasingly ask banks to evidence how models are governed, every deployment ships with the controls to prove it.

AI

AI in Production

Assistants and agentic workflows that run in live, regulated environments, engineered for safety, compliance, and no data leakage, not for the demo. Our operating principle: the model proposes, policy permits, a controlled service executes, and your core records it. Rent the model. Own the mandate.

AI assistants across banking domains Agentic workflow design Next-best-action engine Safe agent architecture AI governance framework Model evaluation & monitoring
Platform

Core Modernization & Integration

One operating platform, however many entities and legacy systems sit underneath. Consolidation, migration, and an API integration layer that lets you change the bank without replacing the core: one customer identity, one credit view, one regulatory submission.

Core consolidation Legacy migration API integration layer Unified customer ID Single regulatory pipe Cloud & on-prem infrastructure
Channels

Digital Channels & Customer Experience

Mobile, messaging, and self-service channels for mass-market reach, with onboarding and KYC that don't lose the customer at step three. Branches become advisory centers, not transaction halls, at a fraction of the cost per transaction.

Mobile banking Messaging channels Digital onboarding & KYC Self-service portals Branch role redesign
Organization

Operating Model, Organization & Talent

Transformation fails on structure more often than on technology. We design the transformation office, the operating model, and the roles that make change stick, then transfer the capability so your people run it after we leave.

Transformation office design Operating model & org design Process redesign Program & change management Capability transfer & training
Ecosystem

Payments, Open Banking & Ecosystem

A partner integration layer for fintech and open banking, so approved account, payment, credit, and settlement services reach customers inside the workflows where the need appears, and the same sovereignty-first model applied to national payment infrastructure and government digital payment programs.

Open Banking readiness Fintech partner integration National payment infrastructure Government digital payments Settlement & reconciliation

Where It Runs

On-premise. Data sovereign. Yours.

All deployments run within your jurisdiction, under full local regulatory compliance. Zero data leaves without your consent. The systems run in your data centers, under your controls, operated by your people.

The same principles carry beyond commercial banking. National payment infrastructure and government digital payment programs run on the same model: sovereignty over the data, control at the core, and ownership that stays with the institution.

How You Start

Start small. Scale with confidence.

We earn the right to scale by delivering results first.

Phase 0

Diagnostic

Four to eight weeks for a Data Governance Diagnostic; roughly three months for a full transformation assessment. Fixed fee, no commitment beyond it.

You get → A maturity assessment with findings by domain, a quick-win register, and a board readout or, for a full assessment, a sequenced roadmap and prioritized business case. Yours to keep, whoever you hire.
Phase 1

Single Capability Pilot

Deploy one capability where it hurts most. Prove results before expanding.

You get → A working system in production, measurable KPIs, and knowledge transfer to your team.
Phase 2

Expansion & Managed Intelligence

Scale what works. Month-to-month support. Cancel anytime.

You get → Additional capabilities deployed, full team enablement, and ongoing optimization until your team runs it alone.

You own all IP. Every line of code, every model, every document. No vendor lock-in. Managed Intelligence is month-to-month. Cancel anytime. We have no software to license you, no platform to renew, and no reseller margin on anything you buy: we are paid to leave, and what we build stays with your people.
