Why this matters

Stay ahead, structurally.

Compliance AI evolves fast. Wecan doesn't just consume what frontier labs ship — we co-design the next generation with academic partners. That's how we ensure the platform is still the most capable in 3 years.

Quarterly product releases included — every scientific advance is integrated into the platform progressively, at no extra cost to customers.

The programme

A specialized and secure AI orchestrator

A specialised, secure AI orchestrator for 50–100-page compliance documents — KYC forms, questionnaires, trust documentation, reports, often scanned. AI exceeds 95% accuracy on a one-page form but drops to 70–80% beyond 20–30 pages. With Prof. Joerg Osterrieder and the FHGR team, the aim is 90% on these long documents — digitise, map fields to the institution's systems, pre-fill standard PDF/Excel documents — on the client's own infrastructure. Validation is planned at 3–5 Swiss institutions, with a public benchmark of 100 annotated documents and an open-source evaluation tool.

Research axis 1

Coherence across 50–100 pages

Hierarchical attention to track entities from page to page and cut hallucinations (target: −40%).

Research axis 2

Zero-shot semantic mapping

Map every field to target systems without months of template configuration, across languages ("beneficial owner" = "ayant droit économique") · target F1 > 85%.

Research axis 3

Specialised, sovereign models

Can domain-specialised 7–13-billion-parameter models, deployable on the client's infrastructure, match large general models on these documents?
