AI in operations · Workflow automation · No new platform to buy
Before you hire for it, automate it.
For trust companies, family offices and funds in Europe.
We take the work your team does by hand — inbound requests, client reporting packs, onboarding and KYC — and turn it into automated flows around the systems you already use. A human still signs off.
Start with one process at a fixed price, live in 6 weeks. Then, only if you want, we run and extend it with your team month by month. The first step is a 20-minute call.
Not another platform to adopt. Most AI offers for trust companies and funds are a new platform: new modules, a new login, your data moved into their AI. We do the opposite. We build the flow inside the systems you already run: your inbox, your DMS, your administration platform, your cloud. Nothing to migrate, no per-seat licence, and the flow stays yours if we part ways.
The AI prepares, a person decides. Every step is logged for your second line and your supervisor. Built with CSSF, AMLR and DORA in mind.

Start with one process
Not a multi-year transformation, and not another platform. We pick one process together, decide what stays human, build the flow — then, only if you want, we run and extend it with your team month by month.
See the demo — click through four example flows, step by step.
Not sure which process? Start with a two-week AI Operating Diagnostic, €1,500, credited in full to the first process.
Step 1: one process, fixed price. €9,000, live in 6 weeks.
You get a working flow for one process, a register of what not to automate and why, and a 100-day plan for the next processes, with owners. You know the price and the end date before we start.
Step 2, only if you want it: run and extend. €1,500/month.
We run the flow with your team, check it against the plan and add the next processes. Cancel any month. You keep the flows, the logs and the documentation.

How we work
01
A 20-minute call.
We talk through your operations and pick the one process worth automating first. If there is nothing worth doing, you keep the call and the notes.
02
Start with one process.
Fixed scope, agreed up front. We map the process, write down what stays human, and build the flow around your systems.
03
Then, if you want: run and extend it.
We run the flow with your team, check it against the plan and add the next processes month by month. You own the flows, the logs and the documentation.
Control first. Data stays inside, every step is logged, and a human signs off. Built for your second line and your regulators.
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.
Ten questions on IR pipelines, custodian reconciliation and document workflows — where AI saves partner hours, and where it only adds risk. No call required.

For funds: pre-deal technology due diligence
A second offer, built on the same method and the same report standard: one company, fixed price, fixed timeframe.
Alarifa is a practice: one method, one report standard, one signature.
Every engagement and every due diligence follows the same method and the same report standard, and every report is signed by Evgeny Goncharov, who leads the practice from Madrid.

The work is done by the Goncharov Group team: a small team in Madrid, with product, development and support in one hand and no middlemen.

Twenty minutes is enough to know.
One call with Evgeny about your operations. If there is a process worth automating, we start with that one. If there isn’t, you keep the call and the notes.
Start with one process. Then we run and extend it with your team.
