Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Financial institutions spend huge amounts of time and money manually reviewing AML (anti–money laundering) alerts, many of which are false positives. This slows investigations, increases compliance risk, and strains operations as regulatory expectations grow.

Value Drivers

Reduced analyst time per AML alert reviewLower operational cost of transaction monitoring and case investigationFaster detection and escalation of genuinely risky activity (risk mitigation)More consistent documentation and audit trails for regulatorsScalable handling of alert spikes without proportional headcount growth

Strategic Moat

Tight integration into existing AML case-management workflows and access to institution-specific alert histories and decisions, which can be used to tune the agents’ behavior and improve performance over time.
