What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off
Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.
The reliable spine
The non-AI spine is the standardised journey itself: one document checklist per product, rules-based status tracking, reminders, and a single clean record handed to underwriting or account-opening, captured once instead of across a branch, a DSA and a WhatsApp thread.
Where AI helps
AI is limited to reading the documents an applicant uploads to pre-check completeness and flag what is missing; it never approves an application, opens an account or clears a KYC status, all of which stay with a named officer.
Who signs off
A named person signs off anything touching money, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.
