The risk layer global finance will need before the next autonomous trade.
We're designing Hootleash with risk leaders at banks, sovereign wealth funds, asset managers, and insurers who are running autonomous trading, treasury, KYC, AML, and tax operations - and who need the rigour their model risk committees, regulators, and CFO demand.
Where we're focused
Autonomous workflows we want to govern first in financial services.
The first release of Hootleash is being engineered around a deliberately narrow set of high-risk autonomous workflows - chosen with our design partners.
Autonomous trading & execution
Pre-trade VaR, stop-loss, counterparty, currency, and venue checks - designed for systematic, statistical-arb, and AI-driven strategies.
Treasury & FX rebalance
Default-deny on cross-border movement, sanctioned counterparties, and unapproved instruments. Live exposure dashboards by entity.
KYC, AML & sanctions
Agentic onboarding and screening with reputational scoring, watchlist coverage, and tamper-evident decisions.
Autonomous tax operations
Transfer pricing, indirect tax, and provision automation with policy-as-code controls and audit-grade evidence.
Cross-border data residency
Region-pinned data planes for EU, UK, US, APAC, MEA - designed against GDPR, DORA, and MAS.
Model risk management
Continuous SR 11-7 and SS1/23 alignment. Inventory, evidence, validation queues - one platform.
