Wellington · Applied AI

AI fraud + anomaly, built for businesses operating in Wellington.

We've worked with enough operators in Wellington to know that the brief that arrives in our inbox is rarely the brief that ends up shipped. The first thing we do on any AI fraud detection project is sit with your team for a day before we propose anything.

What AI fraud detection actually does

Pattern-watching AI for refund abuse, chargebacks, fake reviews, employee fiddles, and odd supplier invoices. Flags weirdness early – before it's a real problem.

  • 01 Learns your normal patterns and flags outliers
  • 02 Daily anomaly report, not a constant alert flood
  • 03 Explainable scoring so you can act with confidence
  • 04 Integrates with Xero, Shopify, and POS systems

Built on: Claude DuckDB Postgres Vercel

Wellington

Why Wellington businesses are a fit for this.

  • Wellington runs on policy, tech, and tight talent pools. AI here is about scaling expertise – not replacing it.
  • From central-government contractors to Kilbirnie tradies, Wellington teams want AI that respects security, privacy, and a healthy scepticism. We build accordingly.

We work with teams across Wellington: Te Aro · Thorndon · Newtown · Kilbirnie · Karori · Johnsonville · Petone · Lower Hutt.

How we build AI fraud detection for a Wellington team.

We scope narrow, ship a working pilot, then harden it into production. The first slice is the highest-leverage workflow for your Wellington business, so value lands before the build is finished. AI fraud + anomaly.

The outcome for Wellington teams

Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. For Wellington teams, that almost always shows up as fewer interruptions and a calmer week, not a dashboard chart.

Not your typical AI agency.

Honest about what AI can and cannot do

Ships the one workflow that pays for itself

Hours given back, never the size of the invoice

How much is not automating costing you?

Nine hours a week of admin is 468 hours a year. With Kiwi Dynamics, that drops to about 52.

Questions

FAQ

How long does AI fraud detection take to ship for Wellington businesses?

We aim for a working pilot inside 4-6 weeks – narrow scope, real Wellington businesses data, measurable outcome. From there it's another 6-8 weeks of hardening before you'd consider it production. Full rollouts (multiple sites, multiple teams) typically land in 3-4 months.

Are there hidden costs we should plan for?

Three to know about: model/API spend (which we set up under your own account, not ours, so you see and control it), any new SaaS subscriptions we recommend, and your team's time during rollout. We surface all three in the quote so there are no surprises.

Anyone else in this space using AI fraud detection?

Plenty. Recovers 3-5x its cost in caught fraud within 6 months. The interesting question is rarely "does it work" – it's "is your team ready to use the output." That's what we'd scope on the call.

Who owns the code and the model setup?

You do, on delivery. We deploy AI fraud detection into your own cloud account where possible, with the model setup, prompts, evals and integration code all checked into a repo you own. Claude sits in your account too – we don't operate it from ours.

Worth a conversation?

Even if you don't end up working with us, you'll leave the call knowing what's worth building.
