AI for teams in mid-market financial services
Credit · Claims · KYC · Operations · Wealth
We help with the draft. You hold the pen.
Hold the Pen gets AI working on the jobs your team actually does (credit memos, claims files, KYC reviews, client reviews, approvals) and gets it past the people who have to sign it off.
From the library
Credit memo first draft from a borrower pack
We gave Claude a fictional £1.2m loan request with 15 hidden problems. It found all 15. Then it wrote the RM's unchecked claims into the memo as fact. The library entry has the two tested prompts, the pack, the answer key and the fit box.

What makes it different
- Your real work, not a demo. We start from one job your team does every week.
- Tested before you see it. Every prompt is run and scored on a fictional FS group first, so you see what breaks, not just what works.
- Built to be signed off. Every recipe comes with its regulatory fit box (SM&CR, SS1/23, UK GDPR, operational resilience, the EU AI Act) and a named human checkpoint.
