RAG vs Fine-Tuning: Choosing the Right LLM Approach for Your Product
Both RAG and fine-tuning improve LLM performance on your specific use case — but they solve different problems. Here's how to choose.
AI infrastructure for financial services
OVERVIEW
Financial services companies face a unique combination of regulatory complexity, legacy infrastructure, and intense competitive pressure. We build AI systems that navigate all three — from fraud detection to personalized financial products — with the rigor the industry demands.
Fraud Detection & AML
Real-time transaction scoring models with explainable outputs for compliance reporting.
Credit Risk & Underwriting
ML models for alternative credit scoring that expand serviceable markets.
CHALLENGES WE SOLVE
Regulatory domains we navigate
WHAT WE BUILD
Real-time transaction scoring models with explainable outputs for compliance reporting.
ML models for alternative credit scoring that expand serviceable markets.
Recommendation systems that surface relevant products based on individual financial behavior.
NLP systems that monitor regulatory changes and flag compliance implications automatically.
CASE EXAMPLES
Problem
Rule-based fraud detection was generating too many false positives and missing emerging fraud patterns.
Solution
ML fraud scoring model trained on transaction history with real-time inference under 80ms latency.
Outcome
False positive rate reduced. Fraud detection adapted to new patterns without manual rule updates.
Problem
Traditional credit data excluded a large portion of the target borrower population.
Solution
Alternative credit model using behavioral and cash-flow signals with SHAP-based explainability for regulatory compliance.
Outcome
Serviceable market expanded without compromising portfolio performance. Model outputs met explainability requirements.
Problem
Manual AML monitoring created backlogs and missed context-dependent suspicious patterns.
Solution
NLP pipeline processing transaction narratives with risk-tiered flagging and human review queues.
Outcome
Analyst time focused on high-risk cases. Alert volume reduced through intelligent pre-filtering.
RESULTS
ENGAGEMENT FLOW
Map regulatory requirements (AML, KYC, SOX, GDPR) against your AI use case before architecture begins.
Design secure, auditable data pipelines that meet financial data governance standards.
Build and validate AI models with explainability requirements embedded from the start.
Connect AI to core banking, payment rails, or compliance infrastructure.
Full documentation for regulatory review, monitoring setup, and team handover.
IDEAL CLIENTS
