FAQ
Questions to resolve before implementation.
Is this a core banking system?
The final boundary is determined during regulated discovery. It may be a controlled service layer around an approved core rather than the ledger of record.
Can AI approve or block transactions?
Not autonomously. Risk signals require documented rules, authorized decisions, logs, and escalation.
How are integrations validated?
Security, reconciliation, idempotency, failure handling, monitoring, and recovery are tested before release.
