Numbers that disagree
Different functions report different figures because each built its own extract years ago.
Industry
Financial services
Risk and credit models with the documentation a supervisor expects, plus full lineage on reported figures.
What we hear from data teams in banking and insurance
Three themes repeat. Reported figures that do not reconcile between finance, risk and the business. Models in production whose reasoning was never written down. And a regulatory submission that takes weeks because lineage lives in people rather than in the platform.
How we work here
Regulation shapes the design rather than being reviewed at the end. Lineage from source record to reported figure, risk tiering before any model is built, and documentation written to the standard second-line review expects.
We work inside your tenancy under your access controls. Data does not move out for convenience.
What tends to pay first
Month-end close is usually the fastest visible win, because the cost of the current process is already measured in days. Model documentation is the one that saves you later, when a supervisor asks a question with a deadline attached.
Challenges
What we hear from data teams here
Models nobody can explain
A model works, but the documentation needed for review was never written down.
Slow regulatory reporting
Each submission is a manual effort because lineage lives in people, not in the platform.
Regulation
What applies, and what we do about it
| Regulation | What it asks for | What we build |
|---|---|---|
| GDPR | Lawful basis, minimisation and subject rights | Classification at ingestion, retention rules in code, subject access queries that run in minutes |
| EU AI Act | Risk tiering, documentation and human oversight | Risk assessment at design time, model cards, and a logged override path for every decision |
| Sector rules | Accurate, complete and timely reporting | End-to-end lineage from source system to reported figure, with quality tests at each hop |
Use cases
Where the return usually shows up first
Faster reporting cycle
Automated reconciliation and a defined metric layer. Typically cuts the cycle by half.
Predictive models
Documented models with challenger comparison and drift monitoring in production.
Anomaly detection
Near-real-time scoring with a review queue and a feedback loop into retraining.
Customer and demand insight
Behaviour modelled across products rather than one product line at a time.
Audit readiness
Submission packs generated from the warehouse with lineage attached.
Platform cost control
Query cost attributed per team, with budgets and alerting.
Data sources
Systems we usually find on day one
Core systems
Transactions, records, master data
CRM
Customers, interactions, cases
Operational telemetry
Events, sensors, logs
Finance
Postings, hierarchies, currency
