AI Governance & Validation Independent 4 to 6 weeks

Your model was validated by the firm that sold it.

Your screening tool, monitoring system or agent was validated by the company that sold it to you. We test it against your own data — above-the-line and below-the-line, thresholds, scenarios, autonomy boundaries — and write the model risk file.

We do not validate agents we built, and we hold no reseller agreement with any vendor we test.

The position

We do not validate agents we built.

We hold no reseller agreement with any vendor we test. Every engagement is independent — from the scope letter to the model risk dossier.

If the model passes, you have a defensible file. If it doesn't, you know before the examiner does.

  • Conflict-free — no financial relationship with any vendor we test
  • Examiner-ready output — model risk file named, dated, and structured for OCC, FDIC, and NCUA
  • Your data, not synthetic — testing runs on your live or historic transaction set
  • Full scope — above-the-line and below-the-line, not just headline accuracy
What we test

Six dimensions, one dossier.

01 / Above-the-line

Threshold & alert accuracy

Are the thresholds set correctly for your customer population? Are alerts firing where they should and suppressed where they shouldn't? We test across transaction type, channel, and customer segment.

Output
Threshold analysis, alert rate benchmarks, tuning recommendations
02 / Below-the-line

Scenario & typology coverage

What does the model miss? We run known typologies — structuring, layering, trade-based ML, correspondent-bank exposure — against your data and document the gaps.

Output
Scenario test results, gap register, remediation guidance
03 / Autonomy boundaries

Human-in-the-loop verification

For agentic systems, we map every decision point: what the agent decides, what it escalates, and what requires human sign-off. Boundaries are documented and tested, not assumed.

Output
Autonomy map, escalation test results, boundary documentation
04 / Model risk file

Examiner-ready model risk dossier

A complete SR 11-7 compliant model risk management file: model inventory entry, validation methodology, test evidence, findings, and compensating controls where gaps exist.

Output
MRM dossier, findings register, management response template
Engagement

Four to six weeks, fixed price.

4–6 wks typical duration from scope to final dossier
Fixed price agreed at the start — no hourly billing, no scope creep
1 model per engagement — we go deep, not wide

Scope

What we validate.

Screening tools

Sanctions screening, PEP and adverse media, name-matching systems and fuzzy-logic engines.

Monitoring systems

Transaction monitoring platforms, rule-based and ML-based alert generation, segmentation models.

Agentic AI

Compliance agents, LLM-powered case analysis tools, AI-assisted SAR and CTR drafting systems.

Know what your model does before the examiner does.

A 30-minute scoping call. We will tell you what the engagement covers, what it costs, and how long it takes — before you commit to anything.
