For finance

The examiner has asked for the files. You have two weeks.

Examinations, remediation exercises and disputes all end at the same place: a box of legacy paper, a deadline set by somebody else, and an obligation to produce the actual document rather than an assurance about it. LocaLens answers out of your own archive, on your own premises.

Asked & answeredIllustration

what security was taken on this facility, and who guaranteed it?

A debenture over the company's assets, plus a personal guarantee from two directors. The guarantee was varied in 2016 to release one of them.

Credit file 8841 · Tab 6 · Page 12 Every line opens on the executed document, so what you tell the examiner is what the file actually says.

What you are actually dealing with

Produce the document, not an assurance about the document.

The clock belongs to the regulator

A request arrives with a date on it. Whether the material is findable is not the examiner's problem, and an extension is not a neutral event.

Residency rules close the cloud

Customer records are bound by where they may be held and who may process them, which removes most tools from consideration before the demo.

Legacy accounts predate every system you run

The oldest relationships are the largest and the least digitised. Their documentation is in a box, filed under a convention nobody still uses.

Scenarios

Four questions the archive should already be able to answer.

Each one is a real shape of request. The wording is illustrative; the point is that the answer comes back attached to the page it was read from.

Responding to an examination

A sampling request names transactions and asks for everything supporting them. The work is locating the files, then proving the set is complete.

every document supporting these facilities, including the approvalsHead of compliance

The supporting file assembled across the archive, not just what is in the current system
Each item shown on its page, so the response cites the document rather than describing it
A log of what was gathered and released, produced automatically

KYC remediation on legacy accounts

A remediation exercise has to establish what documentation is actually on file, account by account, across relationships opened decades before the current onboarding process.

which of these accounts have no identification document on file at all?Financial crime lead

What is genuinely held, read off the files rather than inferred from a system field
Gaps surfaced as gaps, with the doubtful flagged for a person instead of quietly passed
A working list that shrinks as it is cleared, with each entry linked to its file

Credit and facility file review

Portfolio review, a transfer, or a workout all require the terms as executed — rates, covenants, security, guarantors — out of scanned facility letters and amendments.

the covenants and the security position across this portfolioCredit risk

Terms pulled as rows and columns across every file, not one document at a time
Amendments and side letters caught, so the answer reflects the current position
Each value linked to the executed page, so a number can be verified before it is relied on

Customer disputes and complaints

A complaint turns on what the customer was actually given and signed, often more than a decade ago. The answer decides the outcome and it is in the archive.

what terms did this customer actually sign in 2013?Complaints and disputes

The executed document located from the customer's details alone
The signed version distinguished from drafts and later variations
An answer inside the complaint-handling window rather than after it

The security review

The checklist your reviewer already has, answered in advance.

Data never leaves your controlAll processing happens on hardware in your own premises or your own cloud tenancy. Nothing is sent out.

Residency is satisfied by designBecause the material does not move, residency and cross-border questions do not arise.

Every figure cites its documentEach value stays linked to the executed page it was read from, so nothing is relied on unverified.

Segregated accessRole-based permissions and document-level access, with separation between teams where you need it.

Immutable audit logEvery query, view and export recorded and exportable — the evidence an examiner asks for about the process itself.

Retention obligations unchangedYour existing retention and disposal schedules continue to govern the underlying records.

How a deployment goes

Proved on one archive, in one building.

Day one The boxes go in

Scanned pages go in exactly as they are. No retyping, no reorganising, and no file leaves the building.

While it runs Every page gets read

Cover to cover, without anyone being assigned to the pile. You can watch it progress.

First week It answers

Ask in plain language and get the page back. This is the point at which the team stops walking to the shelf.

Afterwards New questions cost nothing

The archive is in. Asking something nobody thought of during scanning is not a new project.

Also built for

Same archive problem, different room.
