AI-Augmented Trading & Risk Architecture

The problem you face

• •Your trading system needs AI/ML capabilities, but you don't know where to start
• •Architecture decisions cost £80K–£150K in consultant fees and 3–6 months of time
• •One wrong infrastructure choice locks you into technical debt for years
• •Regulatory compliance (Basel III, MiFID II) is non-negotiable but poorly documented

The solution you get

• ✓57-page executive blueprint — every decision explained
• ✓8 production-ready DDL schemas with bi-temporal tracking
• ✓AI/LLM architecture stack (LangChain, LangGraph, Agentic AI)
• ✓Lakehouse designs (Iceberg/Delta) for petabyte-scale data

• ✓Vector database configurations (Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma)
• ✓Graph database setup for counterparty risk (Neo4j)
• ✓MLOps pipelines (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker)

The outcome

• •Save £80K–£150K in architecture consulting fees
• •Compress a 3–6 month design phase to two weeks
• •Board-ready justification for AI infrastructure investment
• •Avoid regulatory fines (£500K–£5M exposure)
• •Production-tested patterns from £50M+ trading systems

The problem you face

• •Your energy or capital-markets architecture needs an independent technical review
• •Data models and regulatory controls need a coherent target state
• •Your team needs a prioritised implementation plan before committing resources

The solution you get

• ✓Complete technical architecture review
• ✓Target-state data model specification
• ✓Regulatory compliance mapping (REMIT/MiFID II)
• ✓20-month phased implementation roadmap

The outcome

• •A reviewed technical architecture and specified target-state data model

The outcome

• •Block AI hallucinations at the ingestion point
• •Cut validation development time from two to four weeks to two hours
• •Ensure 99.5%+ data quality SLAs
• •Future-proof validation for LLM-to-database pipelines
• •Ready-to-deploy code — not just documentation

The problem you face

• •Regulatory documents (Basel III, MiFID II, Dodd-Frank) run to thousands of pages
• •Compliance reviews take weeks and cost £375 per hour in consultant fees
• •Manual reviews miss critical updates
• •Audit trails are fragmented and unreliable

The solution you get

• ✓Vector database schema for regulatory documents
• ✓LangChain retrieval-chain configuration and compliance prompt templates
• ✓PostgreSQL and pgvector setup instructions
• ✓Document-ingestion pipeline for PDF, Word, and HTML
• ✓Source-citation framework for audit trails
• ✓Hallucination-detection layer and confidence scoring
