POST-AI · FINTECH

Your AI is in production. Now make it pass audit, and pay for itself.

We help fintech and financial-software companies already running AI in production tame the operational reality: inference cost growth, latency under transaction load, silent model drift, and the model-risk and SOC 2 observability gaps that turn into findings at your next audit.

01 / THE PROBLEM AT THIS STAGE

What operational trouble actually looks like.

The signs that a fintech AI feature has crossed from “demo working” to “operational, and regulatory, problem” are usually clear once you know what to look for.

Operational health, typical post-AI fintech stack5 alerts · we turn them green
ALERT$/MONTH

Inference cost climbing faster than transaction volume.

$/mo

Per-decision model spend scales with every transaction scored. The CFO wants the unit economics explained.

↑ +47% Q/Q
ALERTP95 ms

Latency missing real-time decision SLAs.

P95 ms

Fraud and underwriting scoring sits in the authorization path. Peak-volume latency breaches the SLA.

↑ P95 +180ms
ALERTAUC / DRIFT

Models silently degrade against fraud patterns.

AUC

Concept drift, new fraud vectors, population shift. Performance erodes invisibly between reviews.

↓ AUC −6.4%
ALERTEVIDENCE GAPS

Audit and model-risk evidence is thin.

Open evidence gaps

SR 11-7 model documentation, validation logs, and SOC 2 monitoring evidence are reconstructed by hand before every exam. Findings pile up.

Engineers who should be shipping the next model are stuck chasing reconciliation breaks, audit asks, and reliability incidents. Innovation stalls.

02 / APPROACH

How we work.

A structured audit-then-implement cycle that doesn’t end at delivery, because production AI in a regulated stack never does. As models drift, volume grows, and the next exam approaches, the loop runs again.

AUDIT
Phase 01

We inventory every running AI feature, its cost, latency, drift posture, reliability incidents, and model-risk evidence gaps, so the optimization work starts from evidence, not guesswork.

What you walk away with.

Concrete audit reports, measured optimizations, and the observability and evidence infrastructure to keep what we build running, and defensible.

04 / PROOF

Production AI at scale, the engineering pattern that ships.

A measured outcome from the same operational discipline we bring to fintech AI under real load and real scrutiny.

Case study, enterprise SaaS · production RAGmeasured outcome
THE CHALLENGE

An enterprise SaaS provider needed a production-grade RAG and vector pipeline serving thousands of in-app AI features, with strict latency SLAs and predictable cloud spend.

WHAT WE DELIVERED

An MCP-based retrieval pipeline with a tuned vector store, caching and batching for inference-cost control, and observability for query latency and recall.

05 / WHY CRYENX

Production reliability was our discipline long before AI made it urgent.

Cryenx’s engineering legacy is in performance-critical, real-time systems for brands where production reliability wasn’t optional: Disney, Coca-Cola, Apple, LEGO, Warner Bros, SXSW. Real-time interactive systems, AR/XR experiences, and integration with complex existing infrastructure.

That discipline, observability, integration rigor, real SLAs, audit trails, and operating under unpredictable load, is exactly what production AI demands once it’s live inside a regulated financial stack. Most AI teams learn it the hard way, in production, the week before an exam. We brought it with us.
