Take control of your AI model lifecycle
Hawk introduced Analytics Studio, an AI lifecycle management solution designed to give banks and payment companies greater control over how anti-financial crime models are built, updated and governed.
As financial institutions accelerate AI adoption, with 91 percent now actively encouraging its use, attention is shifting from experimentation to execution. Compliance and financial crime teams face mounting pressure to ensure models can be developed quickly, updated in response to evolving crime typologies, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Analytics Studio aims to centralize and streamline that process.
The solution was created to enable institutions to build, retrain and manage AI models with enhanced transparency and flexibility. Organizations seeking direct oversight can use expert-designed financial crime templates, copilot-guided model creation tools and pre-built performance dashboards. Automated documentation capabilities can generate regulator-ready materials, helping teams defend and audit models more efficiently, Hawk stated.
For institutions that prefer additional support, the company also offers access to its data science services for both initial development and ongoing model optimization.
According to Hawk, Analytics Studio allows financial institutions to reduce reliance on internal or external data science and IT resources, accelerating deployment while lowering operational costs. By embedding financial crime domain intelligence directly into models, the company added, institutions can strengthen detection performance and broaden risk coverage.
Governance features, including versioning, explainability and lifecycle documentation, are integrated into the platform, helping compliance teams meet approval standards and maintain audit readiness. This focus on end-to-end lifecycle management reflects growing regulatory scrutiny around AI transparency and model validation, the company noted.
Hawk chief product officer Wolfgang Berner said customers already use Hawk's AI models to detect significantly more financial crime while reducing investigative workload. With Analytics Studio, he added, institutions can now manage development, validation and optimization internally, enabling faster iteration and greater regulatory confidence.
Analytics Studio expands Hawk's AI-native anti-financial crime platform, which supports anti-money laundering, screening and fraud prevention efforts for banks and payment organizations globally. For more information, please visit https://hawk.ai/platform/analytics-studio.
