Fintech & Banking · Strategy & Governance
The paperwork that gets the pilot approved.
Model inventories, risk classification, evaluation policy and human-oversight design — written to survive an internal audit rather than a conference talk.
- Use-case discovery
- AI policy & risk review
- Vendor & cost optimization
- HIPAA / GDPR / SOC2 readiness
What we build
Strategy & Governance for fintech, specifically.
- 01
Model inventory and risk tiering
Every model, prompt and vendor in one register, tiered by impact, with the control set each tier requires. Usually the first thing an auditor asks for and the last thing anyone has.
- 02
Human-oversight design
Which decisions require a person, what they see when they get one, and how their override is recorded — specified per use case rather than as a blanket policy nobody follows.
- 03
Vendor and model due-diligence
Data-handling, residency and retention assessed per provider, with the fallback plan for the day a model is deprecated or a term changes mid-contract.
What we measure
- Use cases with a documented owner, risk tier and control set
- Time from proposal to approved pilot
- Coverage of the eval policy across live systems
Instrumented in week one and reported weekly. These are the numbers the engagement is judged on — not a forecast of what they'll be.
Constraints
What has to be true in fintech.
- 01
Every answer needs a receipt
We ground responses in your own documents and return the citation with the answer. If the retrieval finds nothing, the system says so instead of improvising — that refusal path is tested like any other feature.
- 02
Models never move money
The LLM classifies, drafts and retrieves. Balance changes, limit increases and refunds run through your existing deterministic services behind an approval step, with the full prompt and decision written to an audit log.
- 03
Data residency is a build constraint, not a setting
For RBI, PCI-DSS and SOC 2 scopes we deploy inside your VPC or account with zero data egress, and pick models — including open-weights — that can legally sit where your data sits.
How it runs
The Strategy & Governance engagement, step by step.
- 1
Stakeholder interviews
30–45 minutes with each executive and team lead. We surface the real bottlenecks (not the ones the deck says).
- 2
Use-case pipeline
Score 20–40 candidate AI use cases on impact × feasibility × strategic fit. Pick the top 3 with quantified ROI.
- 3
Build vs buy
Honest answer for each pillar — sometimes the right move is Notion AI or a Zapier flow, not a bespoke build.
- 4
Governance framework
Policy, approval workflow, prompt-injection / PII / IP guardrails. Aligned with your compliance posture.
- 5
90-day plan
Quarter-by-quarter roadmap, hiring plan, budget, vendor selection, and KPIs the CFO will actually accept.
Integrations
Systems we wire into for fintech.
- Stripe
- Razorpay
- Plaid
- Salesforce Financial Services Cloud
- Zendesk & Intercom
- Snowflake / BigQuery
- Postgres with row-level security
- Twilio
- Internal core-banking APIs
FAQ
AI governance for financial services: your questions.
Is this just a document exercise?
It ends in documents, but it starts in your codebase and your vendor contracts. We'd rather find that a live prompt is sending PII to an unapproved endpoint than write a policy saying it shouldn't.
Do you cover the EU AI Act and Indian DPDP together?
Yes, as one control set with the obligations mapped per jurisdiction. The overlap is large; keeping two parallel frameworks is how organisations end up complying with neither.
Is this just a deck?
No. Every strategy engagement ships at least one working artifact — a costed roadmap, a governance template ready for legal, or a vendor negotiation outcome. Decks alone are useless.
Do you work with non-technical executives?
Yes — most of our strategy work starts with non-technical leaders. We translate between board-room and engineering-room.
