Variance

Variance is an AI agent platform for regulated institutions that handles investigative work across L1 to L3 reviews. It addresses the need to gather evidence, search external sources such as sanctions lists and company registries, extract data from documents, and link entities across data sources, while producing decisions with cited sources and audit logs.

The platform includes custom agents that follow written policies and procedures, first-party tools for extracting, parsing, and verifying documents, and external intelligence searches across the open web, sanctions lists, OSINT databases, and adverse media. An entity linkage engine connects data sources into a unified view, and auditability features provide evidence trails, step-by-step reasoning, and configurable guardrails. Security features include SSO, role-based access controls, encryption, SOC 2 Type II certification, SIEM export, and immutable audit logs. Use cases cover Know Your Customer, Know Your Business, Transaction Monitoring, and Customer Due Diligence.

Variance is built for compliance, risk, and investigative teams at regulated institutions. It is offered as cloud SaaS, private VPC peering, or on-premise/air-gapped deployment, with dedicated environments available. The pages do not specify pricing structure or plan tiers.
