Industries / Financial Services
AI fluency for financial services teams.
For institutions where fiduciary duty, model risk, and regulatory examination define what's possible. We build AI capability that earns audit and supervisory confidence — not just productivity gains.
what's actually different in financial services
Three concerns that change how AI training works.
fiduciary duty
Fiduciary duty doesn't move at AI's speed.
Client-facing recommendations, advice, and analysis carry obligations that don't bend to model output. We teach the patterns that keep AI assistive without crossing lines that matter.
model risk
Model risk is real risk.
SR 11-7, model validation, and inventory matter. We design AI use to fit your existing model risk framework — not to require its replacement. Documentation patterns survive validation review.
examination
A regulator could ask Tuesday.
Programs are built so that, on any given Tuesday, your AI use is clearly explainable to OCC, FINRA, SEC, FCA, or your prudential supervisor. Audit-ready isn't an option — it's the baseline.
how NewForum adapts
What changes for financial services.
Working agreement is calibrated to data classification.
MNPI, client identity, balances, account-level data — each gets handling rules tied to your existing classification scheme.
Documentation patterns are SR 11-7-aligned.
Every AI workflow ships with documentation built for model validation review — not retrofitted afterward.
Compliance and risk are briefed alongside.
Programs include parallel briefings for compliance, audit, and risk so AI adoption clears review the first time.
Faculty have financial-services backgrounds.
Practitioners with active careers in capital markets, banking, asset management, and insurance — not generalist trainers.
programs by function
Most engagements span two or three functions.
