How It Works

Agent Prepares. Human Approves. Always.

Ajax Nova is not a black-box automation. Every output is prepared by an AI agent, reviewed by a qualified human, and approved before anything is finalized or filed. The audit trail captures every step.

The Core Principle: No Autonomous Filing

AI agents in regulated financial environments must operate within a clear human oversight framework. Ajax Nova is designed from the ground up around this constraint. The agent's role is to do the work — ingest data, run calculations, structure the output, flag anomalies. The human's role is to review, question, and approve. Nothing is filed, submitted, or finalized without explicit human sign-off.

What the agent does

  • Connects to your data sources and ingests position data, trade records, and financial statements
  • Runs the required regulatory calculations with full sourcing
  • Structures the output to the exact regulatory format
  • Flags anomalies, variances, and items requiring attention
  • Routes the draft to the appropriate reviewer

What the human does

  • Reviews the complete draft and all supporting calculations
  • Investigates any flagged items or exceptions
  • Approves, requests revisions, or rejects the draft
  • Signs off with a named, timestamped approval
  • Authorizes final submission or filing

The Four-Phase Workflow

01

Ingestion

Data Ingestion and Processing

The agent connects to your source systems — general ledger, position management, trade capture, and custody systems — and ingests the data required for the target report. It runs validation checks, identifies missing or anomalous data, and flags issues before proceeding.

  • Connects to GL, position management, trade capture, and custody systems
  • Validates data completeness and consistency
  • Flags missing data, outliers, and reconciliation breaks
  • Maintains a complete ingestion log for audit purposes
02

Calculation

Regulatory Calculation and Structuring

The agent runs the required regulatory calculations — net capital haircuts, reserve formula credits and debits, systemic risk indicators, or cross-border position aggregations — depending on the target report. Every calculation is sourced to the underlying data.

  • Executes the full regulatory calculation logic for the target report
  • Sources every line item to the underlying data record
  • Computes prior period variances and flags material changes
  • Structures output to the exact regulatory format and schema
03

Review

Human Review and Exception HandlingHuman Approval

The complete draft is routed to the designated reviewer — the CFO, Chief Compliance Officer, or designated financial principal — along with a summary of flagged items and exceptions. The reviewer can drill into any line item, request a revision, or approve the draft.

  • Draft routed to the designated reviewer with exception summary
  • Reviewer can drill into any line item and its source data
  • Exceptions require explicit disposition before approval is available
  • Revision requests are routed back to the agent for reprocessing
04

Approval

Named Approval and Audit SealAudit Sealed

When the reviewer is satisfied, they approve the draft with a named, timestamped sign-off. The audit record is sealed — capturing the full chain of custody from data ingestion through final approval. The approved output is then ready for submission or filing.

  • Named, timestamped approval by the designated reviewer
  • Audit record sealed — immutable log of every step
  • Full chain of custody from data ingestion to final approval
  • Approved output formatted for submission or filing
AI Backbone Compatibility

Works with Any AI Model

Ajax Nova is model-agnostic. The automation framework is designed to work with any AI backbone — your institution's internal models, Claude (Anthropic), GPT-4 (OpenAI), Gemini (Google), or others. We configure the system to your requirements and your risk appetite for AI model selection.

Internal bank models

For institutions with approved internal AI infrastructure

Claude (Anthropic)

Strong reasoning and instruction-following for structured outputs

GPT-4 (OpenAI)

Broad capability with extensive financial domain training

Custom configuration

We configure to your model governance requirements

Audit Trail

A Complete Record of Every Decision

Every action taken by the agent — and every decision made by the human reviewer — is captured in an immutable audit log. The log records who did what, when, and why. It is available for regulatory examination, internal audit, and management review.
