Operational leverage for institutions that cannot afford to get AI wrong

SQRT AI maps where AI creates real leverage across your front-to-back workflow, then builds and runs the systems — inside your own environment, to the standards your regulator, your auditors, and your investors expect.

  • Diagnostic before build
  • Deployed in your tenancy
  • Governed for audit and review

Engagements

How we work with institutions

Every engagement begins with a diagnostic. We do not build before we can show you where the leverage is.

Start here

Operating Diagnostic

US$25,000fixed fee / 3–4 weeks

Map where AI creates real leverage across your front-to-back workflow. You keep the assessment and the roadmap whether or not we build anything.

  • Front-to-back workflow mapping
  • Data residency and confidentiality risk assessment
  • Prioritised roadmap ranked by effort against return
  • Model and deployment architecture recommendation
  • Written assessment and partner readout

Deployment

No system access required — conducted under NDA on documentation and interviews.

  • One production system against a named workflow
  • Integration with existing systems — OMS, CRM, custodian, data room
  • Human approval gates and a complete audit trail
  • Acceptance testing against agreed success metrics
  • Handover documentation and team training
