Corentis

Financial Services

Governed complaints AI with policy, review, escalation, and evidence.

Financial institutions are under pressure to improve efficiency, consistency, and service quality without weakening accountability. Corentis helps teams introduce AI into complaints and customer operations by turning policy into operational controls, advisor guidance, approval gates, escalation logic, and evidence.

Where The Value Lies

The commercial case is speed with control, not speed instead of control

Complaints and customer operations carry cost, conduct, service, and reputation pressure at the same time. Corentis is shaped for teams that want AI efficiency without losing the evidence trail buyers, boards, auditors, and regulators may later ask to see.

1.85m

complaints in 2025 H1

FCA data shows complaint volumes remain consistently high across UK financial services, keeping pressure on service quality and operational control.

Corentis helps firms apply the same policy logic and evidence discipline across repeatable complaint workflows.

£235.9m

redress paid in 2024 H2

Complaint handling is not only a service issue. It can create material redress, remediation, and conduct exposure when processes are inconsistent.

Corentis is designed to make review gates, escalation triggers, and decision evidence visible before issues become harder to reconstruct.

annual gen-AI value in banking

McKinsey estimates banking is one of the largest gen-AI opportunities, largely through productivity gains across operations and customer-facing work.

The commercial pressure to adopt AI is real. Corentis helps teams move faster without treating control and evidence as afterthoughts.

regulated firms in FCA aggregate complaints data

The operating challenge is broad: many firms need more consistent ways to handle, evidence, and improve customer processes.

A reusable policy-control layer can reduce duplicated governance work as AI-assisted workflows expand.

First Use Cases

Start where the operational pain is real and the workflow is clear

Corentis is designed for teams that already know where AI could help, but need a safer way to deploy it in work that carries compliance, conduct, and operational consequences. The current V1 demo is shaped around complaints handling.

Complaints triage

Use AI to support complaint review while keeping rationale, controls, and approvals visible throughout the process.

Vulnerable-customer escalation

Add stronger oversight and evidence where customer circumstances call for extra care and human judgement.

Customer-communication review

Support drafting or review with checks, approvals, and monitoring around the final communication workflow.

How Corentis Fits

In a complaints workflow, Corentis works with your existing CRM or case-management process: identifying the relevant policy, applying controls, guiding the advisor, blocking unsafe send where needed, and preserving the evidence trail alongside the customer record.

This supports increased productivity, better customer experience, and more effective complaints handling across teams while keeping review, escalation, and evidence visible.

That makes early rollout more practical for middle-management owners as well as technical and control teams who need to live with the process once it is in use.

Why It Matters

In financial services, even useful AI creates hesitation when teams cannot clearly explain:

  • which policy applied to the case
  • what the workflow did
  • what controls and review gates were triggered
  • where human review happened
  • how exceptions were handled
  • and what evidence can be shown later

Corentis helps close that gap by turning AI-assisted work into a process that is easier to govern, easier to review, and easier to trust.

Workflow roles

Operations team or service owner
AI-assisted complaints workflow
Corentis policy and control layer
Named reviewers and escalation owners
01

Case enters workflow

A customer complaint enters the workflow and the assistant prepares an initial handling path.

02

Relevant policy is identified

Corentis identifies the complaints policy that applies to the case instead of leaving that interpretation implicit.

03

Structured control plan is applied

Policy checks, advisor guidance, review gates, escalation logic, and evidence requirements are attached to the workflow.

04

Unsafe direct send is blocked

Where human approval is required, the workflow stops, routes to a named reviewer, and surfaces the reason clearly.

05

Escalation and Evidence Vault update

Vulnerable-customer escalation is triggered where needed and the evidence trail is persisted for later review.

Policy Composer

Turns plain-English complaints policy into workflow controls

Approval block

Direct send is stopped where human review is required

Evidence Vault

Persists review-ready artefacts for later scrutiny

Worked Example

Complaints assistant walkthrough with policy, blocking, escalation, and evidence

The current V1 walkthrough is shaped around complaints triage: a workflow where speed matters, but review discipline, vulnerable-customer handling, and traceability matter just as much.

Illustrative V1 walkthrough
01

Step 1

Workflow trigger

A new complaint enters the workflow and Corentis begins by identifying the relevant complaints policy for the case.

02

Step 2

Policy Composer and control plan

Corentis converts the policy into a structured control plan covering what the assistant may do, what it must not do, when direct send must be blocked, and what evidence must be captured.

03

Step 3

Advisor guidance and human approval

The advisor is guided through the workflow, and where human approval is required Corentis blocks unsafe direct send and routes the case to a named reviewer.

04

Step 4

Escalation and Evidence Vault

Vulnerable-customer escalation is triggered where needed, and evidence artefacts are persisted and surfaced in Evidence Vault for later inspection.

What Corentis Adds

Product direction
  • policy turned into visible workflow logic rather than tribal knowledge
  • review gates for sensitive or ambiguous complaints
  • unsafe direct send blocked where human approval is required
  • evidence persisted for governance, QA, risk, and compliance teams

Operational Comparison

What changes when the workflow is governed

Before Corentis

  • policy lives in documents and is interpreted manually at the point of work
  • advisors apply controls inconsistently across similar complaints
  • review gates and customer-communication approval paths are hard to evidence
  • vulnerable-customer or hardship escalation logic can be fragmented
  • evidence gathering is manual, retrospective, and time-consuming

With Corentis

  • the relevant policy is matched to the workflow
  • Policy Composer generates and applies a structured control plan
  • unsafe direct send is blocked where human approval is required
  • escalation is triggered where customer circumstances require extra care
  • advisor next steps and evidence are captured as the work happens

Buyer FAQ

Questions likely teams ask early

These are the practical questions operations, risk, and technical stakeholders usually need answered before a workflow can move forward.

Where does Corentis sit in the stack?

Corentis is designed to sit around an AI-enabled workflow. It does not replace the underlying model or case-management system. It adds policy checks, approval steps, monitoring, and evidence around the process.

Does Corentis replace existing AI systems?

No. The platform is intended to govern how an existing AI-assisted workflow is deployed and reviewed, rather than act as a substitute for the model or the operational system already in place.

What does it log?

Corentis is designed to record workflow events such as tests, approvals, overrides, exceptions, escalation triggers, and other review-relevant activity around the workflow.

What does it export?

The platform is intended to export review-ready evidence packs including workflow context, control mappings, approval history, notable exceptions, and monitoring snapshots.

How do thresholds and escalations work?

Thresholds and escalation paths are expected to be configurable around the workflow so teams can route sensitive outputs to the right reviewers or trigger additional checks when conditions are met.

How do teams interact with it day to day?

Operations, risk, compliance, and review teams are expected to use Corentis to define workflow controls, review flagged outputs, inspect exceptions, and export evidence when needed.
