What it does

Drafts and audits financial-crime policy.

Three modes: draft a new policy from a blank page, audit one you already have, or get back tracked-change uplifts on what you’ve written. Below, each mode shown end-to-end — plus the validator behind every output and where Buxten goes next.

N ° 01/Draft/From a blank page
N° 01  ·  Mode one

Draft.

Tell it what policy you need, who you are, and any constraints. The drafter retrieves the relevant law and guidance, writes in present-tense firm voice, and inserts verified footnote citations. The output is a Word document ready for MLRO review.

§ 4  ·  EDD triggers

Enhanced Due Diligence is mandatory wherever the Customer Risk Assessment classifies a customer as High Risk.1 The firm does not treat EDD as discretionary.

§ 4.1  ·  High-risk third countries

EDD is applied where the customer, beneficial owner, or any counterparty has a material connection to a country on HM Treasury’s current list of high-risk third countries.2

§ 4.2  ·  Politically Exposed Persons

EDD applies to PEPs and their relatives and close associates by statute.3 UK PEPs are treated as lower risk than foreign PEPs unless additional risk factors are present, in line with FG 25/3.4

N ° 02/Audit/What you already have
N° 02  ·  Mode two

Audit.

Upload an existing policy. The hostile auditor reads it the way an FCA skilled person would. Each finding is mapped to the source behind it — a Final Notice, a Dear CEO letter, a Finalised Guidance paragraph.

High CTF reporting stream missing. Terrorism Act s.21A reports are a separate obligation with their own consent and tipping-off provisions.§ 7  ·  TA 2000 s.21A

N ° 05/Validator/Six checks

Six checks before a human ever sees it.

If any check fires CRITICAL, the draft returns to the model with a structured fix list. No silent retries.

N° 01

Grounding

Did the draft actually use the legal text RAG returned? Top five requirements extracted and compared against the output.

LLM · Haiku 4.5
N° 02

Hallucinated citations

Every Reg / Article / Section in the draft is regex-extracted and substring-matched against the retrieved context. Anything unmatched is blocked.

Deterministic
N° 03

Specificity

When the context contains specific periods (“five years”) the draft must use them verbatim. Vague hedges (“as required by applicable regulations”) fail.

Deterministic
N° 04

Blocked citations

Schedule 3ZA, numbered MLR amendments, version-dated FATF lists — replaced with stable alternatives or rejected.

Deterministic
N° 05

Scope consistency

An EDD policy can’t contain a standalone Standard CDD section — it should frame EDD as additive to the CDD baseline.

Deterministic
N° 06

Completeness

Section heading count plus required-keyword check. Catches truncation (a draft that ran out of tokens mid-document) before export.

Deterministic
