AI Reviewer

Escalating: recipient is affiliated with a pending RFP flagged in your organizational context. Recommend human review before approval.

Sound familiar?

Every compliance program has one of these.

A process that matters — but that no off-the-shelf tool covers. So it runs on inboxes, attachments, and institutional memory.

It lives in email

Requests arrive as messages and attachments. Approvals are a reply-all. The audit trail is somebody's inbox.

Swivel-chair work

One request, three systems. Your team re-keys the same data between tools that were never meant to talk.

Reporting is a project

Core program data is scattered, so answering “how many, how much, how risky?” takes days — every quarter.

Busywork burnout

Skilled reviewers spend their days on routine, low-risk approvals. Judgment is your scarcest resource — spend it where it counts.

How it works

Any process. One system. Fully yours.

Opal is built around your policy — your forms, your thresholds, your routing, your approvers. Not a vendor's template.

01
Intake

Custom forms capture exactly the data your policy requires — no more, no less.

02
Screen

Automated policy rules apply your thresholds, limits, and warning signs instantly.

03
AI review

An AI agent assesses every submission and escalates the ones it identifies as higher risk.

04
Decide

The right human sees the right requests, with the AI's rationale attached. Every decision on the record.

05
Report

Every data point lands in one place — sliceable, searchable, and ready for your next committee meeting.

AI in the loop

An AI reviewer that knows your organization.

Generic AI gives generic answers. Opal's review agent works from prompts you control — loaded with your organizational context.

Risk-based escalation

The AI agent reviews every transaction and clears the routine ones for human sign-off, escalating those it identifies as higher risk — so your team's attention goes where the risk is.

Customizable prompts, your context

Tune the AI's instructions with what only you know: past investigations, current enforcement priorities, industry-specific risks, and the transaction patterns that worry you.

AI Analyst for program insight

Ask questions of your program data in plain language. Get program-level insights — trends, outliers, and emerging risks — without exporting a single spreadsheet.

It shows its work

Every AI assessment comes with a written rationale, attached to the record. Reviewers see why something was escalated — and auditors see a defensible process.

Shadow mode

Measure the AI before you trust it.

Nobody should flip a switch and hope. Opal's background review agent runs alongside your team first — and proves itself on your data.

1
Shadow.

The AI reviews every transaction in the background while your team keeps making the calls.

2
Compare.

Track the agent's assessments against your team's actual approvals and rejections over time.

3
Rely on it — on your terms.

When the numbers hold up, let AI review carry the routine work: cleared items arrive ready for one-look sign-off, and everything the AI flags gets a human's full attention.
