AI assistant for investment suitability assessment and reports

A suitability assessment assistant is an AI assistant that checks whether a proposed product or portfolio fits a client's risk tolerance, objectives, knowledge, experience and financial situation. It checks this against the firm's rules, flags mismatches, and drafts the suitability rationale and report for the advisor to confirm, while hard rule failures are decided by deterministic checks, not by the model.

AI cash flow underwriting for small business loans

AI copilot for insurance pricing and actuarial analysis

An insurance pricing and actuarial copilot is AI that speeds up the work of pricing and actuarial teams, from risk and demand model building to natural language analysis of data. It builds automated, transparent risk and demand models and analyzes rate filings, experience data and reserving diagnostics, while actuaries select the models, sign off the rates and own the professional judgment.

AI copilot for model risk validation and monitoring

AI model risk validation is a copilot that supports independent review of a bank's models, used by a validation function, an external tester or a supervisor. It checks model documentation against the model risk standard, generates and scores challenger tests (for generative AI, often with an LLM as a judge calibrated against human experts), watches production models for drift, and drafts and consistency checks the validation report. An accountable validator owns every conclusion.

AI copilot for underwriting risk assessment

An underwriting risk assessment copilot is an AI tool that assembles everything relevant to a risk, such as the submission, loss history and underwriting guidelines, for an insurance underwriter. It also gathers third party data and public information, highlights exposures and gaps against the insurer's underwriting guidelines, and drafts the underwriting narrative or referral note, while the underwriter makes and signs every decision.

AI credit scoring with alternative data for thin file applicants

Alternative data credit scoring is a machine learning model that adds consumer permissioned data to credit bureau data, so a lender can assess applicants with thin or no credit files. The alternative data includes bank account cash flow, rent, utility and telco payments or ecosystem data, and the model returns a decision with specific reasons.

AI for catastrophe and exposure assessment in insurance

AI catastrophe exposure assessment is AI that turns satellite and geospatial data into a fast, portfolio wide view of which policies and properties are exposed to a catastrophe. It covers before and immediately after the event, so exposure managers and claims teams can quantify the loss, prioritize response and reach affected customers first, without waiting for ground surveys.

AI for continuous controls testing and control self assessment

AI continuous controls testing checks every transaction or record against a control's rule instead of a periodic sample, giving continuous, full population assurance. It collects evidence from source systems, maps each artefact to the control it supports, flags exceptions for a human to judge, and prepares the risk and control self assessment from incident and loss data for the business to review.

AI for customs risk targeting, container selection and valuation checks

AI customs risk targeting and container selection is machine learning that scores every import or export declaration for the risk it carries contraband, is misclassified or is undervalued. A customs administration sends physical inspection, scanning and detailed review only to the small share of containers, vehicles and parcels that need it; the rest clear without an officer touching them, and an officer reviews and acts on every high risk alert.

AI for merchant underwriting and risk monitoring

AI merchant underwriting and risk monitoring helps acquirers, payment facilitators and software platforms with embedded payments decide which merchants to accept and on what terms, and watch for risk afterward. It checks what a business really sells and how risky it is at onboarding, then watches every active merchant for changes in behaviour, ranking the few that need an analyst so fraud, prohibited trade and credit losses are caught early.

AI for risk based inspection prioritization in food safety, workplace and environmental regulation

Inspection prioritization is AI that predicts which premises, operators or activities are most likely to be non compliant, to target inspectors' visits where the risk is highest. It is used across food safety, workplace safety, environmental and other regulation, ideally with inspectors still choosing visits and random inspections testing the model.

AI for settlement fail prediction and post trade exception management

Settlement fail prediction is AI that scores each pending securities settlement instruction for its likelihood of failing and names the probable cause. The cause can be an unmatched instruction, wrong settlement details, or a lack of securities or cash. It then helps operations teams work the exceptions and counterparty queries before the intended settlement date, so fewer trades fail and fewer late settlement penalties are paid.
