From 3 Days to 30 Seconds
Agentic AI rebuilds credit risk for a Tier-1 global bank.
TIER-1 GLOBAL BANK · $2T+ AUM // 16 WEEKS // BOLT GROUP
A Tier-1 bank managing over $2 trillion in assets was losing deals to speed. Credit risk assessments took three days. Basel III/IV compliance was manual. Fifteen-plus data sources lived behind fifteen-plus interfaces. The cost — roughly $40M in annual opportunity loss from delayed lending decisions.

Four moves, built to compound.
- 01
Unified data mesh
Fifteen-plus sources — mainframes, Bloomberg, credit bureaus, CRM — consolidated behind a real-time API layer on Kafka and Snowflake.
- 02
Agent swarm
Specialized AI agents run data extraction, financial analysis, regulatory checks, and report generation in parallel — not sequentially.
- 03
Risk scoring engine
Proprietary ML model trained on 10+ years of credit history. 99.7% classification accuracy. Fully explainable to regulators.
- 04
Compliance automation
Basel III/IV checks, stress testing, and audit trails generated automatically. 80% reduction in reporting overhead.

What shipped. In production.
"The bottleneck wasn't analyst capacity — it was decision latency. Replacing the workflow, not the workers, is what unlocks revenue."
Three shapes. One delivery standard.
Defined outcome. Fixed price.
We scope, build, and ship a discrete production system end-to-end. Best when the brief is sharp and the deadline is real.
Embedded pod. Monthly cadence.
A senior pod plugs into your team for a multi-quarter horizon. Roadmap evolves; the engineers stay constant.
Senior eyes. Surgical scope.
Architecture review, model audit, or technical due diligence. Days to weeks. Written recommendations, not slideware.
