01Doctrine
A licence is a moment. A programme is every moment after.
Most buy the licence and assume the programme follows. It does not.
We build the programme an examiner tests, not a binder that fails on contact.
Lawyers file. We build the compliance. The licence is the easy part.
If it cannot survive an examination, it is not a control. It is a document.
02The spine
Four stages, in order. Enter at any one, stop at any one.
01
Diagnose
We read the programme as it runs: what holds, what fails, what an examiner reaches first.
Output: a findings memo ranked by regulatory risk.
02
Cost in 48 hours
Within 48 hours, priced against fixed scope. No hourly billing.
Output: a fixed-scope, fixed-fee plan with sequence and dates.
03
Build or remediate
We build the full framework for a new regime, or remediate named gaps under a finding.
Output: a working programme, documented and evidenced, ready for supervision.
04
Run or defend
We run it as outsourced MLRO, managed intelligence function or managed first line. Nothing is improvised under examination.
Output: an operating programme, held under supervision and defended under examination.
03Engagement models
One spine, four ways to buy it. We tell you which fits.
Model 01 :: AugmentAugmentationSenior capacity beside your team. You keep ownership; we add the missing depth.Best when: you have a team and a gap, not a hole.
Model 02 :: Managed teamManaged teamA dedicated senior team on an ongoing mandate, reporting into your board. Standing capability without the headcount.Best when: you need continuity and senior ownership, not a one-off.
Model 03 :: ProjectProjectA defined outcome end to end: new-regime build, remediation, independent AML audit or sanctions review. Fixed scope, evidence handed over.Best when: the need has a clear edge and a clear finish line.
Model 04 :: Managed 1LoD // BPOManaged 1LoD / BPO operationsWe run the first line: onboarding, CDD, screening, monitoring, case management, escalation. You keep the licence and the accountability.Best when: the volume is real and building in-house would slow you down.

04Senior-only
No leverage pyramid. No junior meter.
The Big-4 model runs on leverage, billed by the hour. We do not: the same seniors diagnose, build and defend.
The pyramid
- 01Sold by a partner, delivered by juniors
- 02You fund the learning curve
- 03Handoffs lose the thread
- 04Priced by the hour, so the hours grow
The bench
- 01Diagnosed, built and defended by the same seniors
- 02You fund the outcome, not the training
- 03One accountable line, start to examination
- 04Priced by fixed scope, so the incentive is to finish
The examiner does not test your document set against a junior's first attempt. Neither do we.
05How we de-risk it
We sell no software and take no commissions. That independence is the product.
Independent
No licence to sell, no platform to place, no vendor to favour. Operator-side only.
Conflict-free
No commissions, no referral fees, no kickbacks.
Fixed scope
In and out, fixed before work starts. Changes only in writing.
No hourly billing
Fixed fee against fixed scope. No meter, no incentive to stretch.
NDA-first
We sign before you disclose. Nothing moves first.
