Data, analytics, and AI services — right-sized for financial institutions.

Maclear’s engagement model progresses through three stages: Assess, Build, and Operate. Each service is scoped to fit your institution’s maturity, regulatory environment, and team capacity.

Stage 1

Assess & Prioritize

Entry-point services that establish your current state and create a clear, actionable path forward.

Data & AI Maturity Assessment

A structured review of your institution's data capabilities, analytics maturity, AI readiness, and governance posture — delivered as a prioritized findings report with actionable recommendations.

Model Risk Self-Assessment

Evaluate your institution's model inventory, validation practices, and governance controls against regulatory expectations and industry benchmarks.

Self-Service Analytics Adoption Assessment

Assess your institution's readiness for self-service analytics: data literacy, tooling, governance, and change management requirements.

Data & AI Strategy

Business-aligned planning, use-case prioritization, and target-state design. Delivered as a roadmap your institution can execute with internal resources or Maclear's continued support.

Education & Enablement

Tailored workshops and training programs for non-technical teams — building foundational data and AI literacy across risk, compliance, audit, and operations.

Stage 2

Build & Implement

Expert-led delivery of working solutions — scoped transparently and built to perform in real, regulated environments.

Data Engineering

Data models, warehouse architecture, pipeline development, and orchestration designed for financial data environments — structured for auditability, reliability, and scale.

Machine Learning Model Development

Predictive models for credit risk, fraud detection, expense anomaly detection, AML, and operational decision support — developed with documentation and validation artifacts built in.

Self-Service Analytics Platform

Target-state design, phased implementation, cloud deployment, and user enablement for business analytics. From BI tool selection to production delivery.

AI Engineering

AI model evaluation, integration, monitoring, and governance practices for regulated environments. Covers LLM integration, RAG architectures, and AI risk controls.

Model Risk Management Framework

Design and implementation of model risk policies, validation standards, inventory management, and governance controls aligned to SR 11-7 and OSFI E-23 expectations.

Data Governance Implementation

Data ownership, quality standards, lineage tracking, and access controls — implemented pragmatically for institutions without a dedicated data governance team.

Stage 3

Govern & Sustain

Keep solutions reliable, controlled, and useful over time — with ongoing operational and governance support.

Independent Model Validation

Third-party validation of models developed internally or by Maclear — covering methodology, data quality, documentation, and regulatory alignment.

Ongoing Model Monitoring

Scheduled performance reviews, drift detection, and stability reporting for production models. Delivered as a recurring engagement with documented findings.

Governance Framework Maintenance

Ongoing updates to model risk policy, data governance standards, and audit-ready documentation as your institution evolves and regulations change.

Analytics Platform Support

Maintenance, enhancement, and user support for self-service analytics platforms deployed by Maclear or inherited from prior vendors.

Co-Sourced Data & AI Team

Maclear embeds within your team on a part-time or project basis — filling capability gaps in data science, data engineering, or model risk without a full-time hire.

Outsourced Data & AI Function

Full ongoing management of a defined data and AI function — covering delivery, governance, and reporting — for institutions that prefer an outsourced operating model.
