MethodPilot first · one backlog · a defined end
Five stages from backlog to a clean examination.
This page is the whole engagement: what our systems do, what your team decides, and what you are holding at the end.
01The engagementFive stages
Understand · Weeks 1 to 2
First we find out how far behind you actually are.
- We connect to the places your compliance work lives: client records, monitoring alerts, filing history
- Our systems compare what the rules require against what your records show, file by file
- You get a ranked list of what is overdue, by how much, and what an examiner would find first
Clear · The backlog
Then our systems work through the pile, oldest first.
- Each overdue file is pulled and completed: missing records retrieved, screening rerun, the review written up
- Anything needing a judgment call goes to your compliance officer with the facts already gathered
- Nothing is closed or filed without a named person approving it
Automate · While we clear
The work that keeps coming back starts running on its own.
- A review comes due and the file is assembled before anyone has to ask
- Names are rescreened on schedule, not when someone remembers
- Reports are drafted and queued inside their deadlines, ready for sign off
Prove · Automatic
All of it writes its own paper trail as it happens.
- Every completed task is logged: what was done, when, by whom, for which obligation
- When an examiner asks a question, the answer is a document you hand over, not a week of digging
Keep · Continuous
The system keeps itself current as the rules change.
- It tracks what FINTRAC publishes and updates the workflows the change affects
- The 2025 and 2026 amendments moved obligations mid-year, and the next round will too
- Your program moves with the regime instead of drifting behind it, so the pile never quietly restarts
02What we will not automate
Four things our systems will never do.
Every vendor says a human stays in the loop. This is exactly where ours stands, so you can hold us to it on a call or in an examination.
Deciding what is suspicious
That call belongs to your compliance officer. Our systems gather the facts and draft the paperwork; they never make the call.
Setting your risk appetite
How much risk the business accepts is a governance decision, not a model output.
Ending a client relationship
Exiting a client has legal consequences, so it stays with people.
Senior officer approval
Wherever the Act requires it, that officer approves it, and the record shows they did.
