AI compliance operations · Licensed fintechs & digital asset firms

Your compliance stack detects. It doesn’t investigate.

Your monitoring vendor fires the alert. Everything after it — pulling account context, checking it against the KYC profile, resolving on-chain counterparties, and writing a narrative that survives examination — still costs your team hours per case.

Novaheim builds the AI systems that do that work. Every determination cites its source. Your officer signs every one.

Every engagement starts with a paid one-week diagnostic — your top five automation opportunities, mapped and ranked, before any build begins.

The bottleneck

The alert is the cheap part.

A decade of vendor spend went into detection. The cost never lived there — it lives in the hours after the alert fires, and it scales with every customer you add.

4–8 hours
per SAR filed

One report ties up a senior analyst for most of a day, at $350–700 fully loaded. SAR work consumes 30–40% of a mid-market compliance team’s total hours.

92–97%
AML false-positive rate

Analysts spend their days clearing noise. Tuning alone won’t fix it — the fragmented data underneath the detection logic is what keeps regenerating the alerts.

$1,500–$3,500
per KYB review

Every corporate customer is a file that has to be rebuilt on a refresh cycle. Ongoing review — not onboarding — is where regulators find the failures.

30 days
from determination to filing

No extensions. When alert volume outruns team capacity, the backlog isn’t an efficiency problem. It’s a finding in an exam report.

Novaheim clears the work that doesn’t need judgment — assembling the evidence, resolving the counterparties, drafting the narrative — so your analysts spend their hours on the cases that do.

Every step leaves an audit trail. Every determination cites its source. Your officer makes the call, exactly as they do today.

What we build

AI compliance systems for licensed fintechs and digital asset firms

Each system is built for your workflows, your regulatory environment, and the tools you already run. Fiat rails and on-chain, in the same case file.

01

Exception Triage

Automated triage of AML alerts and exceptions across every rail your customers use. The system clears the noise your analysts shouldn’t touch and escalates real risk with the reasoning attached.

  • Cuts the 92–97% false-positive load before an analyst opens the case
  • Escalates with a documented rationale, not just a score
  • Resolves on-chain counterparty context inline — the half your monitoring platform can’t see
  • Every disposition leaves an audit trail

A process built to de-risk the first step.

Discover, diagnose, build — three phases, each with a concrete deliverable and an exit ramp at every stage.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What happens on a discovery call?+

We spend 30 minutes understanding your compliance and operations workflows — where manual time is concentrated and where regulatory exposure exists. If there’s a fit, the next step is a paid Compliance Automation Diagnostic: one week, three interviews, and a ranked roadmap of your top five automation opportunities. No generic pitch deck. No obligation.

What is a Compliance Automation Diagnostic?+

A paid one-week engagement that maps your compliance program before any system is built. Three structured interviews, a full review of your workflows, and a ranked list of your top five automation opportunities with a phased build roadmap. The fee is credited in full toward your first build — the lowest-risk way to see exactly where AI fits before you commit.

How do you understand blockchain specifically?+

We work exclusively with blockchain companies. We understand the frameworks you operate under — BSA/AML, MiCA, FATF Travel Rule, GENIUS Act, OFAC sanctions — and the operational realities: VASP obligations, on-chain transaction volumes, KYC document flows, wallet screening, and multi-jurisdictional reporting. We don’t start from scratch on your industry. That’s the point.

How is the AI deployed for our company?+

Every system is built specifically for your firm — not a shared platform, not a generic tool with your logo on it. It runs in your environment, integrates with the tools you already use, and is delivered with full documentation and training. Your team owns it completely. No platform subscriptions, no lock-in.

We're a small team. How much of our time does this take?+

Minimal. After the discovery call, we handle the technical work. Most builds require 3–5 hours of your team’s time across a few weeks for workflow input and review. You stay focused on your product and your users. We come to you only when a decision requires your judgment.

What's the ROI, and how quickly will we see it?+

Depends on the system, but the most common wins are measurable within the first month: reduction in manual compliance hours, fewer false positives reaching analysts, faster regulatory response time, and faster reporting turnaround. We measure against your baseline from day one so ROI is concrete, not claimed.

We've tried AI tools before. Why would this be different?+

Most AI tools fail for one of two reasons: they solve the wrong problem, or nobody adopts the system. We avoid the first by starting with a specific compliance workflow that’s already costing you time and money. We avoid the second by building around how your team actually works — and staying through adoption to make sure it’s running before we step away. Off-the-shelf tools aren’t built for blockchain’s regulatory complexity. We are.

Ready to start?

Your compliance team is spending hours on work AI can handle in minutes.

Let’s find the highest-impact workflow and build the system that eliminates it.
