What changes when it is financial services

Orqent Labs builds recommendation systems evaluated by controlled experiment, reported against revenue or engagement rather than a leaderboard metric.

In financial services, every automated decision must be explainable and reproducible months after the fact. That single fact reshapes how recommendation & personalisation has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is regulatory report assembly, usually integrated against SAP and Oracle financials. We start from the constraint, not the capability, what the system must never do, who signs off, and what happens when it is wrong.

Multi-model by default, so a provider outage is a routing decision rather than an incident. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector

Can we use AI in credit decisions?

With explainability, documented model governance and human review on adverse outcomes, yes. RBI expects you to be able to explain any decision that affects a customer.

How do you handle data residency?

Deployment inside Indian regions or on your own infrastructure, which is the usual requirement for regulated financial data.

How much data do we need?

Less than people assume to start. A content-based approach works from day one; collaborative filtering improves as interaction volume grows.

How do you handle new products?

Content-based features carry new items until interaction data accumulates, with deliberate exploration so new items get a fair chance to be seen.

How do we know it is working?

Controlled A/B tests measured on revenue or engagement, with proper statistical treatment rather than eyeballing a dashboard.
