AI COMPLIANCE & GOVERNANCE
Know every AI system in your institution.
Polyphemi discovers, classifies and continuously maintains every AI model and vendor AI system a financial institution must be able to account for — ownership, risk, reviews and material changes, tracked in one place.
ONE DESK, TWO MODES
Build the inventory once,
then never let it go stale.
This is not a broad governance platform your team has to configure and run. It is one narrow managed outcome for financial institutions: a complete, current, regulator-ready AI model inventory — operated by us.
THE MAPPING SPRINT
Systems and vendors in,
an audit-ready inventory out.
We go through your software, vendors and business lines, identify every AI model and AI-enabled system, classify its risk, assign owners, and hand you the inventory your risk owners approve — record by record.
- Discover AI across departments: surveys, vendor lists, system reviews
- Classify each system with a consistent, decision-grade risk rating
- Assign owners, reviewers and review schedules for every record
- Deliver the complete inventory, high-risk list, and gap report

Managed AI model inventory
Prioritized register
Who to chase, what to request, what is missing.
THE MANAGED LEDGER
Continuous upkeep,
without adding headcount.
An inventory is easy; keeping it true is the hard part. Versions change, vendors swap the models under their products, owners leave, reviews come due. Polyphemi watches for material changes and keeps every record current.
- Monthly change checks across every system in the inventory
- Automated vendor watch for model and AI feature changes
- Review scheduling driven by each system’s risk rating
- Quarterly management reports your executives actually read

WHAT WE REPLACE / MEET POLY
The manual work.
Before it becomes headcount.
The pattern inside financial institutions is simple: vendors are adding AI, regulators are expanding model-risk expectations, and the accounting lands on already-stretched risk teams.
Model Inventory Blind Spots
The vendor models nobody has confirmed yet.
Core platforms, claims systems, credit tools, fraud tools, CRM AI, and analytics vendors all quietly ship models inside their products. Vague vendor knowledge is now a model-risk problem — someone has to put names, owners and ratings on it.
Third-Party Evidence Chase
The work that eats analyst time.
Someone has to identify the right contact, ask the model questions, parse vague answers, follow up, and maintain status. That is the desk we operate.
Regulated Finance
Built for institutions the regulator watches.
Banks, insurers, and trust and loan companies are now expected to keep an accurate, evergreen inventory of every model they rely on — internal and vendor — with risk ratings and review cycles. That is exactly the outcome we operate.
Cost Reduction
Less analyst chase work, more risk judgment.
Internal model-risk and third-party-risk teams should not spend their week chasing routine evidence. We compress the repeatable work and leave the decisions with them.
Have a vendor list already?
Send 10 vendors or systems. We will show you what the mapped inventory looks like.
THE PROCESS
From unknown to accounted for,
without hiring another analyst.
01
We map your AI estate.
Weeks 1-3
Interviews with compliance, technology, risk and business teams, plus your software, vendor and system lists — and a 60-second staff survey. Everything that might be AI lands in one review queue.
02
Your owners confirm and approve.
Week 4
Each candidate is confirmed or rejected by your reviewer, classified with a consistent risk rating, and assigned a named owner and review schedule. Nothing enters the official inventory without your sign-off.
03
We keep it evergreen.
Monthly
Change checks, automated vendor watch, review scheduling and quarterly reports. Versions, vendors, owners and uses change — the inventory keeps up, and every change is on the audit trail.
FROM THE FOUNDERS
AI compliance creates a new kind of work.
We built the desk for it.
Vendors are adding AI faster than risk teams can document it. Polyphemi exists to take the evidence chase off internal teams while keeping the real risk decisions in-house.
GET STARTED
Send us 10 vendors.
We will show the desk output.
A vendor list is enough to start. We will show which vendors need model evidence, what to request, and where your team has gaps.
- Free sample: 10 systems mapped first
- Fixed mapping sprint or managed ledger
- No legal advice, no certification claims

Frequently asked questions
We build and maintain your institution’s AI model inventory. We discover every AI model and AI-enabled vendor system across your business lines, classify each one’s risk, get your owners to approve the records, and then keep the inventory current as versions, vendors, uses and owners change — with reports mapped to whichever regulatory frameworks apply to you.
It is a service powered by a focused tool. The tool accelerates vendor scanning, scoring, and request drafting. Polyphemi still operates the desk: review, follow-up, escalation, and packaging the evidence in a way internal owners can use.
A prioritized vendor model evidence register, vendor request pack, gap list, outreach status tracker, and a management summary. The goal is to take the repeatable evidence chase off internal analyst teams.
Small and mid-sized regulated financial institutions — banks, insurers, trust and loan companies, and regulated lenders — that face rising model-risk expectations but lack the internal staff to build and maintain an inventory themselves. Especially useful for teams with many vendors and limited analyst capacity.
No. We do not provide legal advice, audit assurance, or compliance certification. We provide and operate one critical component of your compliance program: the model inventory and risk-classification process. Your owners keep the judgment and the sign-off; regulator-format exports are always one click away.
The work we target is repeatable analyst labour: finding contacts, checking public signals, asking vendors for model evidence, parsing vague responses, tracking status, and preparing summaries. Your team keeps the risk judgment; Polyphemi handles the chase.
No. Start with a free sample — send 10 systems or vendors and see the mapped inventory records we produce. If the output is useful, move into a fixed mapping sprint or the managed ledger.
