Call4Solutions Challenges

We’re looking for scalable, compliant, and explainable AI-driven solutions or services that help organizations enable real-time detection, assessment, and mitigation of compliance and financial crime risks.

Capabilities could include media intelligence for adverse news detection, real-time transaction monitoring, and aggregation of alternative business data (such as logistics, energy usage, or consumer purchases) to enable enhanced business and financial profiling.

Solutions should ensure low-latency analytics, clear explainability, and adaptive orchestration of data sources and processes, all while remaining platform-agnostic and easy to integrate via APIs.

Examples: media monitoring, AML transaction analytics, alternative data aggregation for risk and financial profiling.

We’re looking for startups building agentic, AI-driven analytics components or services to help organizations model, simulate, and implement credit risk strategies.

Capabilities could include scenario analysis, what-if simulations, and evidence-backed recommendations with clear explainability.

They should also enable rapid experimentation (including synthetic or privacy-preserving data), real-time performance monitoring, and safe rollback options—all while remaining platform-agnostic and easy to integrate via APIs.

Examples: decision optimization, AI-powered test orchestration, strategy experimentation.
