Many treat human-in-the-loop as an emergency brake. Under BaFin supervision and the EU AI Act that is not enough: human control must be part of the design, not an after-the-fact safety net.

Control as an interface

We design escalation points where decisions have consequences — with clear accountability and immutable audit trails. The system stays fast while remaining auditable.
