AI-assisted source synthesis · not an independent investigation.
On November 5, 2026, PYMNTS reported that Flagright co-founder and co-CEO Madhu Nadig advocated reallocating compliance work: AI agents should handle evidence gathering, documentation, and low-risk tasks, while human review should focus on decisions that affect customers’ financial lives, such as closing accounts and filing Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs). The report cited cases in which a payments company used AI to reduce the time spent drafting case narratives by 60%; a wealth management company with more than 1 million customers reduced SAR filing time by 25%. Flagright also recommends documenting the complete investigation process, starting with simple use cases, and having compliance teams adjust configuration thresholds themselves.
