AI that pays off in your US business, and that your regulators can live with.

Senior banking experts who build with AI themselves. We pick the use cases with your business heads, select the best builder for each, and drive them live, with compliance designed in from day one.

Why now

Group AI targets are reaching the US.

Group plans count on AI savings. Each US entity will be asked for its share.

No US rulebook for generative AI.

US model-risk guidance leaves generative and agentic AI out of scope. Controls have to be designed into the process.

Building is cheap. Choosing and changing are not.

The scarce skills are picking the right use cases, redesigning the work and getting people to adopt it.

How we work

  1. 01

    Find

    With your business heads, we find where AI pays off, and size it.

    The control question is asked here, not later.

  2. 02

    Design

    We redesign the work: what AI does, what people keep, who owns each decision.

    Decision rights and reserved cases are part of the design.

  3. 03

    Select

    We select the best builder for each use case: your group IT, a vendor or a specialist firm. We take no referral fees.

    Each candidate is judged on evidence it can produce, not promises.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    We lead delivery with the builder you choose, against an agreed metric.

    Controls are built and tested as the system is, layer by layer.

  5. 05

    Adopt

    We change roles, routines and training so the gains last.

    Autonomy is earned step by step, on evidence from the dashboard.

From our lab

plzfix.ai is our lab. We run agents on our own work there before we recommend anything, and we publish what we learn.

Our partners have led this work inside European retail and private banks, an insurance group and an asset manager. We do not name clients.
