Finance
Financial-services teams need useful assistance with confidential records, clear authority over actions and evidence they can review. Start with a bounded workflow such as searching approved policies or drafting reconciliation notes, with a named reviewer. Mickai's on-premise approach brings company knowledge and department studios onto customer-controlled infrastructure. Model quality, permissions, integrations and operational resilience still need evaluation for the proposed deployment.
The chief risk officer and chief compliance officer of a bank, insurer, or financial-services firm.
Sensitive records, fragmented sources and manual review make it difficult to test assistance safely or establish who authorised a change. A hosting label does not resolve model risk or supplier dependencies.
Scope local document processing, retrieval and assistance around the firm's access rules. Identify any market-data, messaging or other external connector separately. Demonstrate allowed and denied tool calls, expired approvals, revoked access and safe handling when policy checks are unavailable.
An evidence pack for a decision: answer quality, review effort, actual action outcomes, audit verification and recovery results. Compare these with the current process before expanding authority or claiming savings.
These architectural choices support control over the workflows in your deployment. Their benefits depend on configuration, integrations and operating practices. Review external connections, physical security, access and compliance responsibilities together.
Scope inference, extraction, retrieval and storage on infrastructure you control. Document and test any external connector, support channel or transfer before describing a workflow as zero-egress.
Workflows with local models, data and supporting services can continue offline. Live external email, calendars and other services need an approved connection or controlled import, with clear unavailable and pending states.
Map prompts, documents, indexes, logs and backups to their processing and storage locations. Local hosting supports control of location; access, retention and any transfers still need review.
Prepare and classify source records, preserve permissions and evaluate answers against the originals. Retrieval and model training are separate choices; agree data use and licences for each.
Compare hardware and licences alongside integration, power, administration, support, updates, evaluation and recovery. Measure cost at the required workload and quality before claiming savings.
Define who holds keys, who can administer the system and which actions need approval. Test denied requests, revoked access and audit records. Physical security, insider risk and incident response remain operational responsibilities.
Agree version selection, signed update procedures, rollback, data export and licence rights. Reassess requirements as software and obligations change; owning hardware does not remove maintenance or compliance work.
Review the requirements relevant to your organisation, jurisdiction and intended use with your responsible teams. Cloud services can be appropriate subject to applicable safeguards; on-premise deployment alone does not establish compliance or remove supplier responsibilities.
The kind of organisation this serves, named illustratively from public information to characterise the market. These are target profiles, not customers: Mickai has no relationship, engagement, trial, or endorsement with any of them.
The enterprise studios that lead in this sector, drawn from the eighteen that sit on the one sovereign substrate. Scope their local processing, operator-held keys and Open Audit Record coverage for the proposed deployment. Confirm availability and any external integrations before relying on a workflow.
Financial Crime Detection
Evaluate analyst assistance against labelled cases, false positives and missed cases before considering operational use.
Underwriting
Assess document preparation and draft analysis with accountable human review and tests for errors and unfair outcomes.
Accounting
Explore reconciliation notes and working-paper drafts grounded in approved records, with review before posting changes.
Compliance
Scope policy retrieval and governance evidence, then verify record coverage and exports with the firm's reviewers.
Analytics
Test questions against approved data, source references and department access restrictions.
See all eighteen on the sovereign services catalogue.
Bring a workflow owner, approved sample records, the permission model and the current review process to an AI Readiness assessment. Agree measurable acceptance criteria and required supplier evidence. Availability and configuration of each studio must be confirmed for the proposed version; catalogue inclusion is not a completed deployment or a delivery commitment.
Measure value, cost and risk on hardware you control.
Measure handling time including review and corrections, answer quality, control failures and full operating cost against the existing workflow. Retain failed tests as well as successful examples. The result should support a scale, revise or stop decision, without promising fraud prevention, regulatory approval or a predetermined return.
