The problem

Public AI APIs and financial regulation don't mix.

Financial-services firms operate inside the most demanding regulatory perimeter in modern business — and most "AI for advisors" tools are SaaS wrappers that send client portfolios, NPI, and account data to third-party model providers in jurisdictions and configurations regulators have not blessed.

Regulatory perimeter violations

Sending client portfolio data to public LLMs creates compliance exposure that disclosed third-party processors usually don't cover.

No examination trail

When examiners ask how a recommendation was generated, "we used ChatGPT" is not a satisfactory answer.

Black-box risk

Public model behavior changes silently. A workflow that worked in March may be subtly different in July, with no version control.

Use cases

Three places we typically start.

Every engagement begins with a conversation about your specific bottleneck — but these are the patterns we see most often in financial services firms. Each is a fixed-scope, fixed-fee engagement, typically 4-8 weeks.

Use case 1

Portfolio analysis automation

Private AI agent that reviews positions across the book, surfaces concentration and drift, drafts the talking points for the next client review. Saves ~10 hours/week and increased reference firm's client retention by ~20% via more frequent touch.

Use case 2

Client onboarding

AI agent that handles document collection, KYC pre-screening, and account-opening packet drafting. Reduced processing time ~50% in our reference engagement while keeping the compliance trail intact.

Use case 3

Risk assessment copilot

Reviews proposed allocations against client IPS, surfaces violations and edge cases for advisor review. Saves ~8 hours/week and catches issues that manual review missed.

How it works

From first call to deployed system in 4-8 weeks.

Step 1

Bottleneck conversation

30-minute call to understand the specific workflow you want to automate. We tell you whether AI is the right answer — sometimes it isn't, and we say so.

Step 2

Fixed-scope engagement letter

Engagement letter with fixed scope, fixed fee, fixed timeline. No hourly billing, no scope creep, no surprises. Typical range $15K–$35K depending on complexity.

Step 3

Deploy in your environment

System runs in your infrastructure, on your data, behind your access controls. We hand off documentation, training, and a runbook for your team to maintain it.

Curious whether your bottleneck fits?

30-minute call, no pitch. We'll tell you honestly whether what you're describing is a good fit for a fixed-scope AI engagement — or whether you're better off with a different solution entirely.
