Fifteen axes, every vendor on the shortlist
A and B mean the vendor substantively documents the axis. C and D mean it does not, or documents it thinly. The index publishes no composite score, so read across a row, not down a column.

Common questions
What are the best alternatives to CUBE?
The closest documented alternatives to CUBE in the AI FinTech Index are Smarbl, Aptus.AI, AscentAI, Corlytics and Norm Ai, with 1 more on the shortlist below. They are drawn from the regulatory change management shortlist and ordered by how closely each vendor's published evidence matches CUBE across the same fifteen graded axes. Closeness reflects what each vendor publicly documents, not a claim that either product does the same job.
Does CUBE use human review of its AI output?
Yes. Roughly 250 in house regulatory specialists review what the RegBrain engine produces, and the company markets that step as human in the loop assurance. A buyer should still ask which outputs are reviewed before they reach a customer and which are sampled afterwards, because that is the difference between a control and a quality check. Graded by AI FinTech Index from each vendor's own published materials, verified September 16, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
What has CUBE acquired?
Reg-Room and the Thomson Reuters Regulatory Intelligence and Oden businesses in 2024, then the operational risk controls network Acin in 2025. Acin is listed separately in the AI FinTech Index and still ships under its own name.
How is CUBE different from Corlytics?
On the graded record, CUBE documents more on its model supply chain, while Corlytics documents more on AI governance, model risk management, AI safety and regulatory status and carries the stronger outcome evidence. Both are A on institution and segment coverage, and both sit at C on commercial transparency. Graded by AI FinTech Index from each vendor's own published materials, verified September 16, 2026. No vendor pays for placement.
What do CUBE and its alternatives not publish?
None of the 7 vendors on this shortlist documents commercial transparency to a B, the level the AI FinTech Index treats as substantively documented. Switching vendors does not close that gap, so it belongs in the questions put to every finalist.
