Every time I transferred money abroad from my bank to Vested via LRS to invest in global stocks, I kept getting asked: 'we need this for AML compliance.' Frustrating at the time but it made me wonder — who knows what gets funded through money laundering? Someone needs to catch that. And someone is manually doing that work all day. I got curious about what their day actually looks like. This is a product case study I built from first principles : a hypothesis document, PRD, and lo-fi wireframe for an AI-powered AML investigation copilot targeting fast-growing fintechs.

Note: Customer discovery interviews with fintech compliance professionals are the planned next step to validate this hypothesis.
