from every answer to its original source
The context
The group operated with a legal and compliance team shared across its regulated vehicles. Every internal query — from sales, operations, risk — escalated to the associated law firm or the managing partner. Junior turnover produced systematic loss of accumulated criteria: every team change meant re-explaining theses, master contracts and institutional criteria.
The trigger was an internal audit that revealed inconsistencies in responses to equivalent queries across vehicles. Management decided to index the firm’s doctrinal knowledge so any team member could respond with the same criteria before escalating.
How we approached the problem
Data & AI with an indexed institutional knowledge base: NOMs, CNBV circulars, Supreme Court (SCJN) theses, the managing partner’s internal criteria, master contracts, operating manuals. Assistant orchestrating Claude, GPT and Gemini, with contextual retrieval and mandatory citation to the original source.
First phase
Capture and curation of institutional knowledge
Structured sessions with partners and compliance officers. Indexing of regulatory sources: CNBV, UIF, Banxico, SAT. Cataloging of internal criteria by vehicle and subject.
Second phase
Assistant with mandatory citation
Every answer carries a verifiable citation to the original source.
Third phase
Per-vehicle deployment and permissions
Assistant with segmentation by vehicle and role. Controlled cross-vehicle queries. Usage log for continuous improvement and auditability.
Fourth phase
Training, governance and handover to the dedicated team
Training for the teams of every vehicle. Model governance: criteria updates, periodic validation, escalation policy to the managing partner. Start of continuous dedicated team.
Results
- The legal and compliance team recovers a large share of the hours previously spent answering repeated queries.
- Internal queries answered faster; juniors answer with the managing partner’s criteria before escalating.
- Consistent answers to equivalent queries across the group’s vehicles.
- Complete traceability of which criterion applied to each query and why — available for external audit.
- Faster onboarding of junior staff: institutional knowledge is already indexed.
“The junior team now answers with the criteria only the partners used to have. Queries still escalate when they should — but no longer everything escalates.”
