Achieving Six Sigma Precision in Financial Crime Compliance
Financial crime compliance demands extraordinary accuracy - and Six Sigma sets the benchmark. Originally developed to minimise defects and variability in complex processes, the methodology has long guided industries like manufacturing and aviation toward near-perfect performance. Today, those same principles are reshaping how banks detect and resolve financial crime.
This simple infographic explores how human analysts, general AI systems, and Silent Eight’s Agentic AI compare through the lens of Six Sigma, revealing why precision at scale is now essential for modern compliance operations. From reducing false positives to eliminating critical oversight gaps, the evolution from 3 to 4 Sigma human performance to AI systems operating at, and beyond, Six Sigma marks a defining shift in detecting and resolving risk in financial crime compliance.
