Automation that
holds up to an examiner

That is the right question, and it decides whether the work pays off. We build no new use cases while the existing ones are unreliable: one lever is built, quality-assured and stabilised until manual intervention is the exception. Only then does the next one follow. A system with a high rework rate is worse than no automation, because the effort remains and the confidence is gone.

We treat them as design parameters rather than an end-of-project checklist. In practice that means tenant and environment separation, audit-proof logging, documented recovery times, and an authorisation model you can explain to an examiner. The formal determination rests with your regulator or internal audit, not with us. Our job is that the answers exist before anyone asks.

Yes, and that is where the working style comes from. We have remediated IT compliance processes for a global asset manager along KAIT, BAIT and DORA, and mapped risk and control processes into a GRC system at a development bank to durably close existing audit findings. Knowing both roles changes how you build.

As a rule, no. We connect to what is there instead of replacing it. A core replacement in this environment is a programme of its own with its own risk assessment, and it is rarely the precondition for removing the bottleneck that actually matters.

We look at the lived practice first. A process that gets bypassed because it is too cumbersome produces documentation that describes nothing. The gap between the documented and the actual is usually the real finding, and it does not close by adding more rules, only by making the intended path the easiest one.

A bounded lever, such as the completeness check inside a case process, typically reaches a productively usable state in four to six weeks. The scope is deliberately narrow: one case type that runs reliably beats five that all have to be checked.
