AI surveillance the regulator can audit. Every flag explainable.
Trade surveillance and communications surveillance under FINRA, MiFID II, MAS, FCA — increasingly use AI for anomaly detection. The supervisor's question is reliable: how does the AI work, what data did it see, why did it flag what it flagged. Without explainability per flag, the AI cannot deploy.

"I want AI surveillance, but my regulator will ask me to explain every flagged event."
"I want AI surveillance, but my regulator will ask me to explain every flagged event." — Head of Trade Surveillance, BFSI
What TeamSync gives the Head of Trade Surveillance.
1. Surveillance as an Agentic AI Workflow.
The Agentic AI Workflow capability composes surveillance into agents bounded by Business Rules. Rule-based screen first; AI-augmented anomaly detection second; human-in-the-loop checkpoint third. Each stage audit-anchored.
2. Per-flag explainability built in.
Every flagged event carries a structured explanation: data window, model version, prompt template, retrieved context, rule evaluation, anomaly score, reasoning trace. The reviewer sees what the AI saw and why; the regulator sees the same.
3. The DocuTalk + Semantic Search corpus is searchable per flag.
Reviewer queries about the flagged event ground in the related communications, prior trades, related accounts, prior flags. Adjudication is informed, not guesswork.
4. The audit ledger anchors every flag's lifecycle.
Flag creation, reviewer assignment, reviewer response, escalation, closure — all in the Merkle audit ledger. FINRA Rule 4511 record retention satisfied with cryptographic verification.
5. EU AI Act high-risk system documentation published per agent.
For surveillance models classified high-risk under EU AI Act Annex III, TeamSync publishes the Article 11 (technical documentation), Article 13 (transparency), Article 14 (human oversight) documentation. Regulator review starts from a complete pack.
