AEGI Shield · Controlled Evaluation for Credit & Fraud Risk Change

Evaluate AI-assisted Credit & Fraud risk changes before production.

AEGI Shield is a controlled evaluation platform for financial institutions assessing proposed AI-assisted changes to existing Credit and Fraud risk workflows.

It compares one proposed change with the institution's current baseline using agreed historical evidence, while the institution retains decision rights over customer-impacting actions and production deployment.

No customer records are required for the first conversation. Start with the workflow, current baseline, proposed change and decision question.

Show me

A proposed change should be tested against what happens today.

A simple example makes the job clear: hold the review capacity fixed, replay the current baseline and proposed change on the same evaluation basis, then compare which cases reach review.

PUBLIC SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE · BAF-003Fixed-capacity case prioritisation
CURRENT CONTROL

Existing evaluation context

Run the control under the frozen public synthetic evaluation basis.

494fraud-labelled applications reached review
PROPOSED CONTEXT CHANGE

Context-enriched evaluation

Replay the proposed context treatment on the same fixed-capacity evaluation basis.

544fraud-labelled applications reached review
OBSERVED DIFFERENCE+50 fraud-labelled applications surfaced at unchanged review capacity.

This public synthetic result demonstrates a fixed-capacity case-prioritisation difference. Institution-specific value is the question for each Controlled Evaluation.

Why AEGI

Add an evaluation layer without replacing the institution’s existing controls.

Financial institutions may already have strong models, validation, model-risk and change-governance functions. AEGI focuses on the evidence and decision boundary around one specific proposed risk-system change.

EXISTING INSTITUTIONAL CAPABILITY

Keep what already governs risk.

  • Credit models and policy
  • Fraud engines and rules
  • Model Validation / Model Risk Management
  • Change governance and approval
AEGI CONTROLLED EVALUATION

Evaluate one proposed change.

Define the baseline and operating constraints, replay the proposed change on agreed historical evidence, and produce reviewable findings for the next decision.

INSTITUTIONAL GOVERNANCE

Retain the decision.

Existing validation, policy, governance and authorised decision processes determine whether any later stage should proceed.

BOUNDARY

AEGI adds a focused, reviewable evaluation layer alongside existing Credit models, Fraud engines, Model Risk Management and institutional approval processes.

Verified engineering foundation

Engineering milestones accepted and evidenced.

The scoped AEGI bank-evaluation control foundation and local Fraud review, operations and recovery workflow have completed their declared internal engineering checkpoints.

SHIELD CONTROL FOUNDATION

15 / 15 dimensions

Six upstream control locks reconciled in the scoped internal bank-evaluation foundation.

OPERATIONS REGRESSION

276 / 276 per database

Exact-head synthetic Fraud workflow tests passed on both SQLite and PostgreSQL, with no skips.

FULL-STATE RECOVERY

12 / 12 checks

Populated database, evidence, configuration and image recovery exercised with functional checks.

VERIFIED SCOPE

The completed tests establish a reproducible internal baseline. Institution-specific evaluation is the next evidence stage. Examine the evidence

How it works

Evaluate the change. Keep the decision institutional.

The first commercial engagement is one Controlled Evaluation: a defined comparison for one proposed change, with agreed deliverables, evidence and decision points.

01

Scope

Define the workflow, baseline, proposed change, cohort, outcomes, review capacity, metrics and operating constraints.

02

Replay

Run the baseline and proposed change on the same agreed historical evidence.

03

Compare

Measure case-prioritisation impact, control effectiveness and evidence quality under the same agreed constraints.

04

Decide

Continue, Refine or Stop. Any later shadow or production stage requires separate institutional approval.

What you receive

A reviewable decision package.

Each decision package records what was evaluated, what changed, what the controls showed, what the evidence supports and what uncertainty remains.

Evidence

Three evidence classes. Three different questions.

Technical controls, public synthetic benchmark evidence and institution-controlled evaluation evidence remain separate because they support different conclusions.
