Frequently asked questions about ClientCouncil.ai
Short, direct answers to what private-banking desks, compliance teams and committees most often ask before a briefing.
What is ClientCouncil.ai?
- ClientCouncil.ai is a decision-intelligence and continuous-surveillance platform for private banks and wealth managers. It maintains one living profile per prospect or client, renders a dual-risk verdict on the relationship, and re-scores that profile as new court, sanctions, registry and media events land.
How is it different from a KYC or AML screening vendor?
- Screening vendors answer whether a name matches a list. ClientCouncil sits above screening: it consumes those hits along with corporate control data, litigation, archived web history and adverse media, and turns them into a reasoned position on whether the institution should want the relationship at all.
What is a dual-risk verdict?
- Two scores rather than one. The risk of accepting covers legal, regulatory and reputational exposure. The risk of declining covers the commercial cost — referral gravity, network value and the franchise doors that close. The verdict is a position: accept, decline, or accept under conditions.
Who is it for?
- Private-banking and wealth-management desks, client-acceptance committees, financial-crime compliance functions, reputational-risk teams, and family offices that onboard high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth relationships.
Which AI models does it use?
- The platform runs on large language models for reasoning and narration over the evidence record. Institutions can supply their own API credentials for OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini and other providers, choose the model per provider, and set one as the default; the provider and model used are logged with every interaction.
Is the AI making the final decision?
- No. The Council produces a recommendation with cited evidence and a dissent record. The institution's committee decides, and any override is logged with its rationale in the audit trail.
Where is client data stored?
- In a single-tenant deployment in the institution's chosen jurisdiction — Switzerland, the European Union, the United Kingdom, Singapore or the United States. Client data is not used to train shared models.
How much does it cost?
- Desk is 8,500 US dollars per month for 150 monitored profiles. Institution is 45,000 US dollars per month for 2,500 monitored profiles bank-wide. Sovereign is custom-priced for single-tenant deployments. Full details are on the pricing page.
Are the client profiles shown on this website real?
- No. Every prospect and client profile shown on this website and in product screenshots is fictional and used for illustration only.
How do we start?
- Request a 45-minute briefing in which two of your own anonymised cases are scored live, or open the live console to work through the demonstration book.
