About

UK DEPLOYER WANTED FOR THE BRIDGEAI ASSURANCE AND COMPLIANCE CALL

We are SherlockIT, the sovereign corporate intelligence engine for regulated industries. We are preparing a consortium bid for the BridgeAI Deployment Catalyst (AI for Assurance and Compliance), which opens on 21 October and closes on 8 December 2026 at 11:00am, and we need one UK deployer.

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

A medium or large UK firm or public body in financial services or professional services, with an AML, KYC, third-party risk, or compliance team that needs to monitor continuously and show regulators clear evidence of its checks.

WHAT YOU WOULD DO

Run a 3-5 month pilot with us on a real workflow. A small team of yours tries SherlockIT on representative cases, inside your own data and security rules. Supported by Innovate UK grant funding.

WHAT IS IN IT FOR YOU

- No licence fee. We provide the pilot deployment free of charge, so you can evaluate it on real cases without a procurement commitment.

- Measured savings. We measure the speed, time, and cost of each cross-border case before and after, so you finish with evidence, not a demo.

- A solution shaped around your workflow, including the monitoring rules.

- An independent readiness assessment of your own operational, governance, and regulatory position for AI, which the project requires.

- Evidence of explainable, source-traced controls for DORA, NIS2, CSDDD and AMLA obligations.

- A named place in Phases 2 and 3 if the project is invited forward.

WHAT WE BRING

- Data infrastructure we own, connected directly to 120+ official government registries.

- A knowledge graph and fine-tuned AI agents that follow the evidence across borders. Every answer is explainable, cited to its source, and confidence-scored.

- Sanctions and PEP screening linking listed people to the companies they control or hold an interest in, with each match shown with a confidence level. Continuous monitoring is built in.

- Working today: our investigation assistant has answered 2,103 real questions, and 61 of 61 fresh fact-check questions were correct against registry data.
