The Operational Bottleneck
Every quarter, a senior risk and compliance team spent upwards of 400 analyst hours manually ingesting multi-system reports, cross-checking vendor statements against contract rules, and verifying disclosures across thousands of transactions.
The process was trapped in spreadsheet sprawl. Analysts were forced to copy data across five disconnected applications, manually flag edge-case discrepancies, and synthesize executive summaries on tight deadlines. The result was high operational fatigue, prone-to-error spot checks, and zero systematic data lineage.
What We Built
IO22 built a system that does the repetitive checking automatically and hands the team only the cases that genuinely need a person's judgement:
Data that collects itself
Reports from all five systems now flow in automatically and are checked for errors on arrival. Nobody copies data between spreadsheets anymore, and sensitive company data stays under the company's control throughout.
AI that checks against the actual rules
Every transaction is reviewed against the company's own contract and policy rules, consistently, every time. Anything that doesn't match is flagged with the exact rule it broke.
People make the final call
Analysts review a short list of flagged exceptions in a clear dashboard, with an executive-ready summary produced for them. The judgement stays human; the drudgery doesn't.
Results
-
→
320 hours back every quarter: analyst time fell from 400 hours to about 80, spent only on the exceptions that need a person.
-
→
Every number is traceable: each figure and flag links back to the original record it came from, so any result can be checked and defended.
-
→
No more copy-and-paste errors: manual transfers between spreadsheets were eliminated entirely.
Is your team buried in repetitive review work?
If skilled people spend their weeks checking data instead of acting on it, the same approach can give them that time back. We'll show you what that could look like for your business.
