The problem
Manual compliance and audit reviews against established standards were slow and inconsistent between reviewers, with each report taking about a week to complete.
Our approach
We built an agent that checks uploaded reports against an established standards dataset, then generates a findings report with clause-level tracked changes and AI-written comments explaining every flagged issue.

How it is built
Architecture
A Python and FastAPI backend deployed on AWS handles report ingestion and comparison against the standards dataset. Claude powers the review and comment generation, returning findings tied to individual clauses for a traceable review workflow.
Key features
Challenges & solutions
Challenge
Broad AI feedback was not precise enough for reviewers who needed to see exactly which clause triggered a finding.
Solution
Grounded each check in the standards dataset and returned findings as clause-level tracked changes with an explanation attached.
Challenge
Reviewer judgement varied between reports, making outcomes difficult to compare and slowing final sign-off.
Solution
Encoded the review as one repeatable agent workflow so every report is evaluated against the same standards and output structure.
Results
What shipping it changed.
Reviews that took a week now take half that, and every finding cites the clause and the standard behind it. Reviewers spend their time on judgement calls instead of hunting for the paragraph that triggered an issue.
“We were sceptical about AI in audit work. They showed their reasoning at every step, started with a small pilot and expanded only when our reviewers were satisfied. Careful, professional, easy to work with.”
2x

Turnaround on a compliance report fell from about a week to roughly half.
