Primary launch services
Choose the starting point that matches the mandate.
The services are deliberately distinct. A client may need clarity before commitment, targeted design, independent assurance, specialist payments or data review, a provider bank-readiness assessment, or ongoing fractional access to senior expertise.
01Diagnostic
Structural Risk and Transformation Diagnostic
An independent assessment where the problem is complex, disputed or insufficiently defined and senior stakeholders need a credible basis for action before major commitment.
Appropriate whenRoot causes are unclear; ownership is fragmented; previous remediation addressed symptoms; or technology and programme decisions are advancing before requirements are settled.
Typical outcomeRefined problem statement, structural root-cause map, material risks, ownership and dependency findings, intervention options and an executive roadmap.
02Financial crime · DQIntegrity
Financial Crime Data and Control Integrity Diagnostic
A specialist assessment of whether transaction monitoring, screening, KYC/CDD or remediation environments receive complete, correct and sufficiently controlled decision-critical data.
Appropriate whenCoverage cannot be proved; reconciliations are weak or aggregated; mappings and transformations are not sufficiently controlled; or regulatory and audit evidence remains fragile.
Typical outcomeEnd-to-end data journey, expected-population definition, integrity-risk assessment, control gaps, ownership findings and prioritised remediation.
03Independent assurance
Transformation and Programme Assurance
Independent senior challenge for active programmes, remediation or implementations where delivery confidence, readiness, evidence or sustainability require stronger scrutiny.
Appropriate whenGovernance reporting is activity-led; dependencies remain unresolved; testing or operational acceptance is uncertain; or the programme requires recovery, re-baselining or closure assurance.
Typical outcomeProgramme-health findings, assurance scorecard, risk and dependency map, readiness or closure assessment, decision points and priority interventions.
04Payments
Payments Transformation and Readiness Review
An end-to-end review of payment change where requirements, architecture, integration, data, reconciliation, regulation, suppliers, resilience, testing and operations must work together.
Appropriate whenA payment platform is being introduced or changed; non-functional requirements are underdeveloped; reconciliation or resilience is uncertain; or go-live confidence is weak.
Typical outcomeReadiness assessment, requirements and dependency findings, reconciliation and control observations, testing gaps, operational risks and a practical route to implementation.
05Technology providers
Technology Proposition and Bank-Readiness Review
A provider-facing review of whether a product, use case and delivery model can be understood, governed, implemented and operated inside a regulated financial institution.
Appropriate whenThe technology is credible but use cases, buyer logic, regulated requirements, data, controls, resilience, implementation proof or operating-model implications need strengthening.
Typical outcomeBank-readiness findings, qualified use cases, requirement and control considerations, proposition improvements and proceed, revise, narrow or stop recommendations.
06Retained advisory
Fractional Senior Advisory
Ongoing access to senior financial-crime, data, payments, resilience or transformation expertise without appointing a full-time executive or commissioning a large consulting team.
Appropriate whenAn executive, programme sponsor, smaller regulated firm or technology provider needs continuity, periodic challenge, confidential decision support or specialist capability for a defined period.
Typical outcomeRegular senior advisory sessions, decision and risk challenge, document and provider review, governance support, executive briefings and targeted intervention when required.
