Independent QA for Compliance Operations.

YSSEM re-checks compliance decisions against your own policy and hands your stakeholders a complete audit trail. Likely policy breaches are flagged for human review.

Coverage
Configurable up to 100% of closed cases, near real time.
Findings
Nothing is auto-resolved. Likely breaches are raised to your reviewers.

The platform

One platform. From sampling to stakeholder-ready evidence pack.

100% coverage of all cases, near real time, with the audit trail.

Configurable scorecards

Policy-aligned scoring. A KYC and CDD QA scorecard runs in the prototype on synthetic cases.

Running in the prototype

Audit evidence pack

Configurable reports generated on demand for the MLRO, Risk and Internal Audit. The prototype produces a weighted report per case.

Platform design

Risk-based sampling

Dynamic case selection by risk score, analyst, segment or priority. Configurable up to 100% population coverage.

Platform design

Synthetic case testing

Synthetic CDD, AML and identity-fraud cases injected into production queues to test, continuously, whether analysts, AI agents and identity stacks make the right call.

In build

Benchmarking

Human versus AI-agent quality benchmarking: the same scorecard across human analysts, AI agents and identity systems.

Platform design

Synthetic case testing

In build

Synthetic cases in live queues.

Synthetic CDD, AML and identity-fraud cases injected into production queues to continuously test whether analysts, AI agents and identity stacks are making the right calls.

Always-on control testing
Every shift, every analyst, every agent is measured.
Agent and vendor independence
Line 1 AI agents cannot QA themselves, and neither can your IDV vendor. YSSEM sits above every Line 1 tool.
Stakeholder-ready evidence
Results produce exactly the artefact stakeholders ask for.

The decision and the identity

We re-verify the decision, and the identity behind it.

Decision QA

  • Does the CDD or EDD narrative actually support the risk rating?
  • Is the adverse media assessment complete and correctly weighted?
  • Is the sanctions or PEP disposition justified?
  • Likely policy breaches flagged for human review.

Identity QA Optional module

  • Independent re-scoring of face verification and liveness outcomes.
  • Passive device signals: fingerprint, behaviour, network anomalies.
  • Vendor-independent. YSSEM grades the IDV stack, not just the analyst.

Output A traceable, defensible audit trail showing what was reviewed and where exceptions were identified.

Why independent QA

The system making the decision cannot be the only system measuring its quality.

Where manual QA falls short

Coverage
A typical closed-case sample rate is 1 to 5%. The majority of cases go unreviewed.
Latency
Findings arrive weeks after the decision, too late to change behaviour.
Consistency
Subjective scoring varies by reviewer. Now AI agents are doing the actual work.
Defensibility
Evidence is a reconstruction, not a live record.

If a team samples 1 to 5% of closed cases, this is what the other 95 to 99% look like.

What the regulator says

Good practice: “Periodic testing and quality assurance of alert investigations.”

Where YSSEM sits

YSSEM sits above every Line 1 tool.

  1. 01

    Sample

    Closed cases, selected by risk, analyst or segment.

  2. 02

    Re-check against your policy

    The same criteria, whoever made the decision.

  3. 03

    Finding

    Which criteria failed, why, and the evidence.

  4. Decision made by

    In-house analyst, Outsourced team, AI agent.

Out

  • A finding and evidence record per decision
  • For the MLRO: evidence that human and AI decisions meet policy
  • For the Head of Risk: independent evidence of Line 1 effectiveness
  • For Internal Audit: a consistent, regulator-ready audit trail
  • Gaps by analyst or agent, for coaching

Not YSSEM

  • Does not perform the work or make the decision.
  • Does not manage the case or replace the system of record.
  • Does not test controls or validate models.

Nothing is auto-resolved. Likely policy breaches are raised and escalated. A supervisor who samples 1 to 5% of cases gets 100% coverage and a shortlist of what to look at.

Security and data handling

Others perform, manage or test the work. YSSEM independently tests the outcome.

Line 1 AI agents
They perform the work. YSSEM independently measures decision quality.
Identity and fraud infrastructure
They make or inform the decision. YSSEM independently re-verifies the outcome.
Case and workflow platforms
They manage the case. YSSEM samples, scores and benchmarks the outcome.
Assurance and control testing
They test controls or models. YSSEM does case-level QA and synthetic case testing.

Design partnership programme

Evaluate YSSEM on your own closed cases.

One queue, an agreed sample, your policy criteria. We sign an NDA and run the cases through YSSEM.

How it runs

  1. 01

    Your QA process first

    Thirty minutes on how QA runs in your firm. No product pitch.

  2. 02

    Agree the scope

    One workflow, an agreed sample, your policy criteria, data handling. You choose the workflow.

  3. 03

    Review the findings together

    Each finding, with the evidence behind it, and your reviewers’ feedback.
