AML investigation capacity
What could your investigation team get back?
Estimate the analyst and MLRO capacity that post-alert AML automation releases. Every figure below is editable, so change anything that doesn't match your operation.
How this is calculated
Hours released are stated as redeployable capacity, not headcount reduction. FinCrime headcount reduction is rarely a defensible position with a supervisor.
The analyst and MLRO layers are valued at the fully loaded hourly costs you set above. Organisational memory covers ramp time saved when a replacement joins and cases not re-investigated because the earlier reasoning is retrievable.
Every figure here is an estimate until it is measured against your own alerts. Two in particular are worth measuring before you rely on the result: your average handling time per case, and your SAR conversion rate.
Annual capacity value released
Investigation and review hours returned to the team, redirectable toward complex cases, escalation, quality assurance and regulatory review.

How those hours are released
-
1
The case is assembled, not the alert
Every alert that belongs to the same customer and the same behaviour is grouped into one case. Core banking transactions, account and counterparty history, and the CDD and KYC record are pulled in and laid out before anyone opens it.
Analyst layer -
2
What actually applies is retrieved
The regulation and local guidance relevant to this typology, the clauses of your own internal policy that govern it, and prior cases of the same pattern, together with the decision that was reached and the reasoning behind it.
Analyst layer Organisational memory -
3
The narrative is assembled with citations
A full investigation narrative in which every assertion carries a citation back to its source: the transaction, the policy clause, the regulation, or the prior case it follows. Nothing is asserted without a reference a supervisor can follow.
Analyst layer -
4
The analyst reviews, the MLRO signs off
The analyst challenges and edits a cited draft rather than writing from a blank page. Escalation carries the whole reasoning trail, so the MLRO reviews a decision instead of reconstructing one, and the SAR is drafted from the narrative that was approved.
MLRO layer
The saving is not retrieval. It is that the assembly, the citations and the precedent check are already done, and already defensible, before the analyst opens the case. That is why the hours come out of triage and out of MLRO review at the same time.
Want to know what this would cost you?
Pricing depends on your case volume and which layers you turn on, so we quote it properly rather than guessing on a web page. A 30-minute walkthrough on your own alert data covers the cost, the fit and the two numbers this model can only estimate: your real handling time and your real SAR conversion rate.
