Audit-readiness is a posture, not a project.

A modular agentic orchestration framework that reads, classifies, and governs every document a regulator, auditor, or customer might ask for.

I The industry

Where the regulator never waits.


On the day the regulator walks in, knowing where the documents are isn’t enough. Loan files, KYC packs, and claim records are often scattered across branches and silos. Actigen 2.0 provides the “agentic brain” to unify these records instantly.

The model is the easy part. The audit pack is the deliverable.

II Key challenges

The briefs nobody else says yes to.


Six structural problems we hear repeatedly from UK and European banks, insurers and asset managers; and the honest answer to each.

/ 01 The cycle

Regulators never wait

Consumer Duty, operational resilience, SMCR, SYSC, Basel 3.1, MiFID II, EMIR, DORA. The cycle is continuous; the evidence pack has to be too.

FCA · PRA · DORA
/ 02 KYC at scale

Refresh runs against the whole book

Every 12–24 months. Sanctions screening every day. The team that ran it last cycle is not the team you have this cycle.

KYC · AML · CTF
/ 03 Document estate

Fragmented across the entire stack

Loan files, claims, contracts, audit evidence; spread across core banking, CRM, loan origination, claims and legacy archives. No one source of truth.

Core · CRM · Claims
/ 04 Contract intelligence

Tens of thousands of agreements

With amendments, annexes and side letters. Every rate change triggers a renegotiation wave. The clause library has to be searchable, not stored.

Clauses · Covenants
/ 05 Legacy cores

Tight upgrade windows, tighter regulators

Finacle, Flexcube, Temenos, FIS, Guidewire, Duck Creek. Front-ends shipped without rewiring the middle. Mainframe records the business cannot retire.

Finacle · Flexcube · Guidewire
/ 06 Customer 360

Reconcile a dozen systems without a GDPR liability

A unified view of the customer that ICO can read end-to-end. Consent, lineage and right-to-erasure handled in the platform, not the policy.

CDP · GDPR
III Our solutions

What we ship into publishing operations.


Three workstreams that run together. The output is one audited operating layer — not a stack of pilots.

01 Custom Software

Risk, fraud and customer surfaces, governed

Bespoke risk, fraud, credit-scoring and portfolio models. Advisor cockpits. Regulator-facing dashboards. Mobile-first customer experiences on a governed AI core.

02 AI + Human-in-the-loop

Agentic loop RAG HITL Actigen 2.0
  • Claims triage — first-notice-of-loss routed in minutes, with rationale.
  • Agentic KYC refresh — autonomous flows with human gates on exceptions.
  • Sanction-letter automation — generation, review, dispatch and archive under one audit trail.

03 Integrations

Wired to the cores you actually run

Core-banking, claims, payments, CRM, CDP and regulator-gateway integration. We have integrated against Finacle, Flexcube, Temenos, Guidewire, Duck Creek, Salesforce FSC, Dynamics 365 Finance, and a long tail of bespoke cores.

VI Business outcomes

What changes after the work ships.


Three outcomes consistently reported across BFSI engagements. Per-engagement targets agreed in writing during Discover.

/ Efficiency

Cycle times collapse

Claims triage from hours to minutes. KYC refresh down 60–80%. The cycle stops being the bottleneck and the regulator stops being a quarterly emergency.

  • Claims triage: 4 hours → 11 minutes
  • KYC refresh: 18 days → 4 days
  • Document retrieval: minutes → seconds
/ Cost optimisation

Cost-to-serve on a curve that bends

30–50% reduction in document-handling cost. Surge headcount becomes optional, not structural. The unit cost moves down with each release.

  • 30–50% lower document-handling cost
  • Surge capacity replaced by orchestration
  • Unit cost trends down release on release
/ Audit-readiness

Any document, any query, in seconds

With full lineage. The audit pack is the byproduct of the platform — not the deliverable produced after the fact.

  • Full extraction lineage on every output
  • Audit packs on demand, not on request
  • Regulator cycles handled without surge

100+ clients trusted 20+ years in regulated technology 4,000+ projects delivered 99.1% on-time
We had a 120-step KYC refresh flow across four core systems and a regulator who had stopped accepting promises. SBL orchestrated the flow end-to-end, with agentic refresh and a human gate on every exception. Eighteen days became four. The auditor turnaround moved from weeks to hours.
