2 Week Financial Product Accelerator
From Idea to Product, Shipped in Two Weeks
Stop circling. Start building.
You already know what your compliance, financial crime, or risk team needs. The problem is everything that gets in the way of building it. Internal engineering queues. Vendor evaluations that outlast the regulatory deadline. Procurement cycles longer than the risk window itself. We remove all of it.
Two weeks from brief to deployed product: strategy, design, and build in a single engagement, with no handoff gaps and nothing lost in translation.
What two weeks actually looks like
We build intelligence products for people who make consequential decisions under regulatory scrutiny. Financial crime teams triaging alerts. Regulators monitoring jurisdictional compliance. Risk underwriters pricing geopolitical exposure.
Week one of the sprint is structured discovery: getting the right people in the room (compliance, risk, tech, legal, whoever owns the decision), defining the problem worth solving, and agreeing the scope of what gets built. Week two is execution: a working product, deployed and demonstrable by the end of the sprint.
“In regulated financial services, the tools that make a difference are the ones built by people who’ve been inside these businesses. I’m here to make sure that’s exactly what comes out of week two.”
Mike Baker, in-house Finance Expert, ex Pepperstone
The two-week sprint typically includes:
Discovery and scoping
Structured sessions with compliance officers, risk analysts, MLROs, or examiners to define the problem, the users, and the boundaries of what gets built. We’re comfortable in a regulatory context.
Product strategy
A clear value proposition and decision framework, agreed with your stakeholders before a line of code is written. We’re explicit about regulatory, audit, and evidentiary implications from day one.
Design
Enough UX and UI to make the product usable and demonstrable. Information-dense layouts that work for users who spend their day in case management systems, reporting tools, and Excel.
Build and deploy
A working product, live and accessible by the end of week two. Hosted on infrastructure your security and compliance teams can review.
Handoff
Documentation and a clear pathway if you want to take it further with Browser London’s engineering team, hand it to your internal platform team, or pass it to a third party.
How can we push things forward?
Strategy, design, and build in a single engagement. Assembling a team that understands compliance workflows, regulatory constraints, and modern product design takes months to hire. We have the team set up to deliver.
A working product at the end. Not a deck. Not a Figma file. Internal teams can build proofs of concept that sit in a sandbox. They can’t always build something a compliance officer, MLRO, or risk analyst will actually open on Monday morning.
Experienced product thinking driving every decision. We’re seasoned in product thinking applied to regulated environments, making sure that if we’re moving fast, we’re moving in the right direction. We push back where it matters, including on scope that would compromise auditability or defensibility.
Getting decision makers aligned and moving forward. Not another steering committee. Something to put in front of the desk, the risk committee, or the board.
How we do it in two weeks
AI-assisted execution, expert judgment at every decision
We use AI tools to compress the distance between a decision and a working prototype. Iterations that would take days happen in hours. AI produces output fast; but it doesn’t decide what to build. Every scoping call, every design choice, every architectural decision is made by people who’ve spent years building products in regulated environments.
Scope that protects the timeline
Two weeks is only achievable with disciplined scoping. You’ll be challenged on what’s essential versus what’s nice to have. Risk teams tell us that’s exactly what they want from an external partner: someone willing to say no to the wishlist.
Deep domain knowledge
What we bring is deep familiarity with how compliance teams actually work, information-dense layouts, audit trails built in from day one, interfaces designed for users who spend their day in case management systems.
Built to hand off, not just to demo
Clean architecture, clear documentation, ready to continue with Browser London’s engineering team, your internal platform team, or a vendor. Speed doesn’t come at the cost of what happens after week two.
Where this accelerator delivers
Common applications we see across financial risk and compliance functions:
Risk intelligence: risk dashboards, exposure monitoring, scenario analysis, sanctions and country risk surfaces
Financial crime and AML: alert triage interfaces, signal aggregation across data sources, case management prototypes, typology exploration
Sanctions and screening: PEP and sanctions screening workflows, adverse media intelligence, beneficial ownership exploration
Trade and transaction surveillance: pattern visualisation, alert prioritisation, investigator workflows
Regulatory reporting and oversight: visualisation layers over reporting pipelines, supervisory dashboards, jurisdictional monitoring tools
Audit and assurance: control testing interfaces, evidence aggregation, examination workflows
If your team is responsible for a risk or compliance function and stuck on something that should already exist, there’s a good chance it fits.
This accelerator is for your organisation if…
- You have a risk or compliance product idea stuck in the internal backlog, delayed by competing stakeholder opinions, regulatory uncertainty, or an inability to get the right decision-makers aligned
- Your team knows what needs to be built, but internal engineering bandwidth is committed to platform or core systems work for the next two quarters
- You need to validate a concept before going through procurement, vendor selection, or a long RFP
- You want to show something working to a steering committee, regulator, or examiner in weeks, not quarters
This accelerator is NOT for your organisation if…
- You haven’t scoped the problem at all. The accelerator isn’t a discovery exercise. We validate, we don’t originate. If you need deeper discovery work, we can help separately
- You’re hoping two weeks will produce a production-ready, fully regulated system. The output is an MVP: deployable and demonstrable, not a fully audited production tool
- The product requires deep integration with proprietary internal systems we can’t access during the sprint. We can mock these, but the demo will be limited accordingly
