The problem it solves

When you need to investigate specific transactions, like flagged or unusual activity, digging through raw data manually takes time and technical know-how you may not have. Analysts end up writing one-off queries just to answer a simple question.

Who it fits

A finance, fraud, or risk team that needs to search large transaction datasets without writing queries.

How it works

  1. Someone fills out a search form with amounts, dates, or other filters
  2. The automation searches the transaction database for matching records
  3. It formats the matching records into a readable report
  4. It saves the finished report as a text or spreadsheet file
What you get

Instant answers to any transaction search

Fill out a simple search form and get back a formatted report of the matching transactions, ready to download right away.

What you get

A saved report file listing all transactions matching the search criteria.

What you need

A transaction database and a file storage location for reports.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
