Systemic Resilience

The Solution to the Risk Gap

Moving from component monitoring to end-to-end assurance. AI-FPM combines a 7-step process with a bespoke toolset to deliver quantified risk clarity.

The 7-Step AI-FPM Approach

From Ingestion to Executive Decision

Phase 01: Process Mapping

Mapping

Maps every stage of the AI pipeline, from raw data ingestion to the final decision, establishing critical context and boundaries.

PRA SS1/23 Principle 1 & 3
Phase 02: Failure Mode Analysis

Modelling & Discovery

Identifies hidden fragilities and tracks cascading failure paths to answer the critical question: 'How could this break silently?'

Consumer Duty (Foreseeable Harm)
Phase 03: Control Engineering

Containment

Determines the precise location for circuit breakers to halt failure chains before they impact the customer or business operations.

Op. Resilience (Impact Tolerance)
Phase 04: Risk Reduction

Mitigation

Designs detection mechanisms and allocates resources to remove high-priority risk vectors identified in the model.

SM&CR (Executive Control)
Phase 05: Stress Testing

Testing

Validates new controls through rigorous tabletop exercises to ensure they effectively catch modelled failures.

PRA Principle 3.2 (Validation)
Phase 06: Incident Playbooks

Recovery

Documents clear protocols for restoring services after a failure, ensuring true operational continuity.

Advanced Toolset Support

We don't just use whiteboards, sticky notes and spreadsheets. Our unique AI-FPM toolset automatically generates your key outputs such as Risk Heatmaps and Remediation Plans that can be exported directly into your internal GRC systems.

Compliance Alignment

Algorithmic Accountability

The AI-FPM methodology is aligned with leading global standards and UK-specific mandates — meeting the increasing expectations for algorithmic accountability.

While frameworks like NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 provide the "what" of AI governance, AI-FPM provides the "how" for specific, high-stakes use cases. Our process operationalises the MAP and MEASURE functions of NIST by turning complex technical interdependencies into a visual blueprint of risk.

For regulated finance companies, the methodology serves as a critical tool for satisfying the PRA’s SS1/23 Principle 3, requiring firms to identify and remediate model limitations and systemic weaknesses. It also provides the "end-to-end transparency" necessary for Consumer Duty compliance proving that AI-driven decisions are not resulting in foreseeable harm or biased outcomes for customers.

Crucially, it also addresses the requirements of the EU AI Act for high-risk systems, specifically regarding risk management systems (Art. 9) and human oversight (Art. 14).
