“The technology to solve this existed — but nobody had built it specifically for regulated industries. General-purpose AI tools don't understand audit trails, evidence requirements, or what the FCA expects. So we stopped consulting and started building.”
— The founding team
Eight years in one sentence. Now in four.
Founded as AI consultancy
Started building bespoke document intelligence solutions for some of the UK's largest financial institutions.
Eight years of bespoke work
Across mortgages, insurance, banking, legal — we saw the same problem everywhere: compliance teams drowning in documents, checking what they could, hoping they caught the important issues.
Pivoted to vertical platform
Stopped consulting. Started building a platform purpose-made for compliance operations in regulated financial services. New stack, new architecture, production-grade.
25% of UK network compliance
Deployed across UK mortgage networks, lenders, and brokers. Financial Reporter Tech Provider of the Year — Finalist 2026.
Four principles that decide every trade-off.
We build technology regulated firms have to trust with their most sensitive work. The principles below decide what we ship and what we refuse to.
Production over demo
If it doesn't work with real documents from real cases, it doesn't count. We test against production data. Every accuracy number we publish comes from real compliance checks on real case files.
Prove it first
We don't ask you to take our word for it. Our standard onboarding includes a pilot against your own cases. We publish our accuracy numbers because we've earned them.
Built for regulated industries
We don't bolt compliance onto a general-purpose AI tool. Every part of Curvestone is designed for the audit trails, evidence requirements, and regulatory scrutiny that regulated firms face daily.
Curving a stone
Curving a stone is one of the hardest things to do well — precision, patience, genuine skill. We chose the name because document intelligence for regulated compliance isn't a feature. It's a craft.
Leadership.
Small team. Long backgrounds. Everyone here has shipped AI into regulated environments before.
