Representative engagements. Details anonymised, outcomes real.

Case / 01 · Internal Fraud Investigation 2024

Internal fraud surfaced in days, not quarters.

A major financial institution suspected internal fraud but couldn't find the thread in millions of transactions. We deployed forensic AI across their ledger and detected the pattern within days, not the months traditional methods required.
$M+ recovered millions saved · controls hardened
Case / 02 · Procurement & Vendor Forensics 2023

A vendor collusion ring, traced to the invoice.

A multinational's payables looked clean on the surface. Our forensic models cross-referenced vendor master data, payment timing, and approval chains, exposing duplicate invoices and a collusion ring that manual audits had missed for years.
1,400+ flags duplicate & ghost-vendor invoices recovered
Case / 03 · AML & Transaction Tracing 2022

Suspicious flows untangled across borders.

A fintech faced regulatory pressure over unexplained transaction patterns. We built a forensic graph of accounts and counterparties, surfacing layered transfers and structuring activity, and handed regulators an evidence-grade audit trail.

07 · field notes

Topics we go deep on.

Anomaly detection, finding outliers in transaction data
Forensic AI

Anomaly detection, how AI finds the 0.1% that matters.

Why rules-based monitoring misses sophisticated fraud, and how unsupervised models surface the outliers, structuring, and timing patterns a human auditor never could.

Our perspective
Invoice forensics, catching duplicate and ghost-vendor fraud
Fraud investigation

Invoice forensics, catching duplicate and ghost-vendor fraud.

A forensic pipeline that extracts, classifies, and cross-references invoices against vendor and payment data, flagging duplicates and collusion at audit-grade precision.
