Decision models

Catch fraud on day one, before you have labels.

Grayson, Finic's decision model, answers questions you write in plain language, such as "Does the shipping address look like a reshipper?", with calibrated probabilities. It reads descriptions, emails, names and notes, and every answer explains itself.

  • No training data needed
  • Reads unstructured data
  • A reason for every decision

Grayson's answers
  • Does the shipping address look like a reshipper?0.91
  • Is the order far larger than this customer's usual?0.77
  • Do the item titles match the customer's past orders?0.18
  • Is this email address throwaway?0.06
Machine learning

Models that learn your outcomes, tested before they ship.

Logistic regression and gradient-boosted trees learn from your numbers and Grayson's answers. Every variant is trained on older data and tested on newer data, so you see real gains, with an interval, before anything goes live.

  • Split by time, the way fraud arrives
  • ROC-AUC, PR-AUC and a 95% interval
  • Precision and recall at your thresholds

Control

Your team stays in charge of every change.

Workflows have drafts, tests and versions, and changes can land as drafts for review. Every decision keeps its inputs and trace, so you can explain any outcome to a customer, a partner bank or an auditor.

  • Drafts, tests and versions
  • Every decision traced step by step
  • Roles and per-key permissions

AI tools

Work in Kairos from your AI tools.

Kairos has an MCP server, so Claude Code, Cursor or Codex can read decisions, draft workflows and run experiments. An admin decides what each key may do.

ReadDecisions, cases, entities, workflows, models and metrics.
WriteEvents, case notes, assignments and lists.
DecideDecisions, case resolutions and labels.
BuildWorkflows, rulesets, queues and experiments.

Every action is recorded under the agent's key.

Logistic regression on the payout's numbers plus Grayson's answers wins: ROC-AUC 0.949 on validation, 0.930 on test. I saved it as a draft, v6, with the results attached for your review.

Use cases

Across the whole customer journey.

From the first sign-up to the last payout, with one view of each customer, their devices and their history.

01

Let real customers in. Keep fake accounts out.

Decide every sign-up as it happens. Kairos sees the devices, emails and addresses a new account shares with others, and how the sign-up session went.
