Defensible AI & Automation · UK · EU · US

AI and automation that survives an audit

Most AI can't explain itself — and a decision that can't be defended is a decision that can't be used. We build the other kind: compliance-grade AI, agents, and automation for regulated operations, traceable and human-defensible, the workflows an auditor, a regulator, or a court would accept. What makes them hold up is Verdica — our proprietary engine, built to make every decision reproducible, traceable, and audit-ready. The same standard behind our Fraud & AML rule defensibility flagship, applied to the workflows needed live now — one firm across the UK, EU and US.

Not sure it applies? If getting an AI or automated decision wrong would be expensive — regulated or not — it does.

What we build

One method, three ways to start

Every engagement is built on Verdica and the same spine: traceable, defensible, audit-grade delivery. Start small and fixed, move to ongoing embedded delivery, or take on the deepest version — the flagship.

Sprint · fixed scope

Audit-Ready Automation Sprint

One real workflow live in weeks — fully logged and traceable, with a human-oversight checkpoint — so it survives internal audit, a regulator, or a customer challenge. For any regulated or high-stakes team; FCA regulation is not required.

  • 1 workflow, 1 integration, up to 3 decision points
  • Deterministic, reproducible decision log
  • One-page defensibility note

1–2 weeks · £6k–£25k fixed

Retainer · recurring

Embedded AI Build & Governance

An on-tap, forward-deployed capability that builds agent and automation workflows and keeps them defensible — ownership, review, escalation, human-oversight design, and the documentation an auditor will accept.

  • Ongoing build embedded alongside in-house teams
  • Maintained governance & control pack
  • UK / EU AI Act / US mapping

Monthly · £5k–£15k/mo embedded

Fraud & AML Rule Defensibility

The deepest version of the same discipline: deterministic, court-defensible fraud and AML rule defensibility for FCA-regulated firms. The proof the whole practice is built on.

  • Rule-by-rule defensibility scorecard
  • Typology coverage gaps
  • Regulator-ready pack

Compliant by design

The system we deliver is built to the standard, in every market

We do not certify the whole organisation — we build and deliver a single workflow that is traceable and audit-ready by design, mapped to the regime that applies to it. One firm, three markets.

United Kingdom

Built to existing UK obligations — FCA Consumer Duty, SM&CR accountability, and ICO / UK GDPR rules on automated decisions — and ready for UK AI rules as they come.

European Union

Delivered EU AI Act compliant by design for EU-facing and Ireland-based clients — transparency, traceability, and human oversight built in from the start.

United States

Aligned to US fair-lending expectations (ECOA / adverse-action explainability) and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework for high-stakes decisions.
