Consilient

Consilient sells anti money laundering and counter terrorist financing models built with federated learning, so banks, regulators and financial intelligence units can learn from each other's behavioral patterns without pooling their data. Models train on local data inside each participant's own infrastructure, only aggregated model updates are shared, and institutions deploy the resulting models locally under their own model risk processes.

The core model gives each customer a dynamic risk score from twelve months of transaction behavior and shows investigators the key factors and transactions behind a flag. Further models score more than 15 high risk typologies, from money services businesses and casinos to precious metals dealers, nonprofits and virtual asset service providers, flag international transactions leaving high risk jurisdictions with a model trained alongside more than 20 local banks there, rate know your customer risk and cover correspondent banking. Federated Synthetic Data supplies 24 validated typologies across five risk families and about 110 million labeled transactions for building and testing models where an institution has few real cases, and the suspicious activity report (SAR) Analyzer uses large language models to cluster report narratives, resolve entities and map networks across them. Consilient builds on XGBoost and says its federated model cut false positive alerts by 88 percent. It was founded by Gary Shiffman of Giant Oak and Juan Zarate of K2 Integrity.

Capability Axes

Capability grades

15 of 15 axes rated · 7 graded A or B

AI Capability
AI Centrality
AA on AI CentralityThe artificial intelligence is the product. Remove the models and there is nothing left to sell.
Vendor Published

The models are what Consilient sells: federated anti money laundering, correspondent banking, typology, jurisdiction and risk rating models, synthetic training data for rare risks, and an analyzer that uses large language models to mine suspicious activity report narratives. Remove them and nothing remains to buy.

Autonomy and Oversight Model
AA on Autonomy and Oversight ModelWhat the system runs alone, what constrains it, and how a person checks it are all published: modes, thresholds, sampling or audit controls, and the route a case takes to human review.
Vendor Published

The models score and a person decides: a high risk score raises an alert for the institution's compliance team to investigate, and each alert carries the key factors and transactions behind it. Models are deployed locally under the institution's own model risk management, so the bank controls where in its monitoring they act.

Model Risk Management and Transparency
BB on Model Risk Management and TransparencyReal transparency mechanisms are published, such as per alert explainability, confidence scoring or split testing, without the validation package or supervisory mapping behind them.
Vendor Published

Validation reports, accuracy beyond the headline figures and a mapping to model risk guidance are not published. Each flag comes with the key factors behind it, the models are built on XGBoost with feature importance and overfitting controls, and institutions deploy them locally under their own model risk management.

Each synthetic data package is tested for behavioral plausibility, distributional overlap, leakage, realistic class ratios and whether it is too easy to model, and the narrative analyzer logs how large language models are used. Consilient's own study across 12 typologies found detection keeps improving up to roughly 3,500 to 5,000 labeled examples, and models trained only on synthetic data ranked an unnamed bank's confirmed suspicious accounts 10 to 15 times better than random, adding a lift over the bank's own model that passed a formal statistical test.

Operational and Outcome Evidence
CC on Operational and Outcome EvidenceUnnamed case studies, customer logos, or claims without numbers. Prestige is not measurement: the caliber of the client list describes the buyer rather than the product, and coverage statistics are not adoption statistics.
Vendor Published

Customers go unnamed, and the figures are Consilient's own: an 88 percent cut in false positive alerts, and three times the efficiency with 10 percent more cases found than a model trained on one company's data alone. The core model is described as developed with leading banks and the jurisdiction model as trained with more than 20 local banks in high risk jurisdictions, none of them named.

AI Safety and Data Stewardship
AA on AI Safety and Data StewardshipThe cross client data boundary is answered specifically and falsifiably: commitments like zero training on customer data or per customer model instances.
Vendor Published

The cross client question is answered by design: models train on each institution's data inside its own secure infrastructure, raw data is never pooled centrally, and only aggregated model updates travel between participants. Ensembling then combines local models into the shared one, synthetic data supplies rare cases without anyone's customer records, and the narrative analyzer keeps suspicious activity reports inside the institution's environment.

Regulatory and Compliance
GLBA and Data Privacy Posture
CC on GLBA and Data Privacy PostureA standard privacy policy that covers the website rather than the service, or silence on a product that touches limited consumer data.
Vendor Published

Consilient, Inc.'s privacy policy covers visitor and service user information in general terms, without processing terms for the transaction data models are trained on. The stronger privacy story is architectural: under federated learning, raw data stays inside each institution and only aggregated model updates are shared.

Security Certifications and Trust Center
DD on Security Certifications and Trust CenterNothing published at all on security posture.
Vendor Published

Security certifications, audit reports and a trust center are absent from the product material, so the security of the platform that distributes models and aggregates updates has no independent assurance on offer.

Regulatory Status and Licensure
CC on Regulatory Status and LicensureThe regulatory position is unstated. Most vendors in this index are technology suppliers and being unlicensed is the correct posture, so this grade records silence about the posture, not a missing license.
Vendor Published

Consilient states no regulatory admission of its own, selling models to regulated institutions and naming regulators and financial intelligence units as potential federated participants rather than supervisors.

AI Governance and Bias Disclosure
CC on AI Governance and Bias DisclosureResponsible artificial intelligence committed to in policy language with no evaluation behind it, on a product whose bias surface is modest.
Vendor Published

Fairness or disparate impact testing of the customer risk scores is not published. Consilient's design choice on labels is stated: models are built from high risk behaviors and typologies rather than from suspicious activity reports, many of which are filed defensively.

AI Liability and Recourse
CC on AI Liability and RecourseMechanisms that enable challenge, such as audit trails and source traceability, with nothing standing behind the output and no route for the person affected.
Vendor Published

A guarantee, indemnity or correction commitment behind a score is absent. Each alert shows the key factors and transactions that drove it, which lets an investigator check and challenge the model before acting.

Integration and Deployment
Model Supply Chain Disclosure
BB on Model Supply Chain DisclosureSubstantial partial disclosure, or a chain that is structurally short: an explicit in house build, on premise deployment, per customer instances, or zero retention at the model layer.
Vendor Published

Hosting for the federated platform and any subprocessors go unnamed. The modeling chain is set out: XGBoost gradient boosting, ensembling of local models and federated aggregation of model updates, built and run by Consilient itself. For the narrative analyzer the institution picks the language model, from Amazon Bedrock and locally deployed models to the OpenAI and Anthropic interfaces, and sanctions checks draw on OpenSanctions data.

Core Systems and Integration Depth
CC on Core Systems and Integration DepthIntegration claimed through standards or connectors with no system named and nothing to verify.
Vendor Published

Specific monitoring, case management or core banking systems are not named. Models are brought in from Consilient's platform and deployed locally into an institution's existing transaction monitoring and due diligence processes.

Deployment Model and Data Residency
AA on Deployment Model and Data ResidencyOn premise or hybrid deployment is offered and documented, alongside where data rests.
Vendor Published

Models are deployed locally inside each institution's own infrastructure, and federated training keeps raw data where it already sits, with only aggregated model updates leaving the institution.

Commercial
Commercial Transparency
CC on Commercial TransparencyNo price is published and engagement runs through a demo form, which is the norm in this index.
Vendor Published

Price, licensing terms and the unit of charge for the models are unpublished, and the route in is a contact form.

Institution and Segment Coverage
BB on Institution and Segment CoverageNamed segments with dedicated material behind part of the coverage.
Vendor Published

Banks are the main buyers, with regulators, jurisdictions and financial intelligence units named as federated participants, a dedicated model for correspondent banking and synthetic data aimed at institutions with too few confirmed cases to train their own models. Material is organized by model rather than by institution type.

Oct 8, 2026Product / capability

Consilient launched Federated Synthetic Data, a library of synthetic AML training data covering 24 validated typologies across five risk families and about 110 million labeled transactions. Institutions use it to train detection models for typologies they have few confirmed cases of, such as trade based laundering, corruption and sanctions evasion, then train locally and share only approved model learning through federation. In Consilient's test, models trained on synthetic data alone ranked a real bank's confirmed suspicious accounts 10 to 15 times better than random.

Compared With

Most editorial comparisons pair two vendors the index assesses as direct competitors for the same buyer. Some pair vendors that are adjacent rather than rival, where the useful question is where one ends and the other begins. Each carries a verdict, the buyer conditions that favor each vendor, and a graded side by side.
