AI Operating Diagnostic · AMLR 2027 readiness · €3,000 fixed · three weeks
Ready for AMLR before July 2027, without hiring a bigger KYC team.
In three weeks we map your KYC and onboarding work, show where AI safely takes the manual load, and hand you a 90-day plan your second line and regulators can follow.
For COOs, CFOs, and heads of operations and KYC at trust companies, fund administrators and ManCos in Luxembourg and Madrid. The first step is a 20-minute call, then the AI Operating Diagnostic: €3,000 fixed, three weeks.
Every report is signed by Evgeny Goncharov · MSc Physics, MSU · ex-BCG · ex-EY · ex-Yandex.Taxi
01
Onboarding that takes 40+ days. Manual KYC. NAV and fee errors. And the CSSF, AMLR and DORA pressure on top. The Diagnostic starts where that work is done by hand today.

The first question is what not to automate
Most AI projects in regulated firms fail on the same thing: someone automated a process that needed a human in it. Before anything gets built, we write down what stays manual and why — data residency, supervision, client confidentiality, audit trail. That list is the first deliverable, not an afterthought.
Get the checklist: Is your fund-ops team ready for AI?
Ten questions on IR pipelines, custodian reconciliation and document workflows — where AI saves partner hours, and where it only adds risk. No call required.
