Process context connects how your business is governed to how it actually runs.

The rules sit in code, the steps in spreadsheets, the judgement with the people who run them. xflow brings them together into executable processes you can evidence, change and hand to agents.

At a G-SIB: first code repository read in a day, end-to-end regulatory lineage in under two weeks.

Why process context matters

Every demand on the business now lands on the process.

AI is moving from answering questions to running processes. Supervisors want to see how a number was produced, not only the number. Every change programme needs to know what it will touch before it touches it. All three ask the same question: how does this process actually run, and is it the one you approved?

01

Regulatory evidence.

Show how a reported figure was produced, from the objective through the process to the code and data behind it. Then produce it again next cycle without rebuilding it by hand.

02

Agentic processes.

An agent running a process needs the approved rule, the order of the work and the objective it serves. Point it at one governed version, and the rule it applies is the rule you evidenced.

03

Managed change.

Know what a change will touch across repositories, data and manual steps before it is made. Migration and modernisation start from what the process does today, not from rediscovery.

In a regulatory process, the limit on AI is rarely the model. It is being able to show which rule was applied, and why. Institutions that can demonstrate that they understand how their processes execute are able to speed the transition to agentic processes.

Where the context sits

Governance describes the process. Your business runs it differently.

Policies, catalogues, lineage and controls describe how the business should run. That investment is real. But the process executes in places the documentation rarely reaches, and that is where the context your regulator, your change teams and your agents depend on actually lives.

01

Code repositories.

The transformation rules that produce the reported figure sit in application code, where business and governance teams cannot read them.

02

Spreadsheets and manual steps.

Adjustments, overrides and hand-offs that complete the process between systems, carried in end-user tools and routines.

03

People's knowledge.

Why the process works the way it does, held by the analysts and developers who run it and rarely written anywhere a system can use.

04

Proof and remediation.

Testing the documented process against what it actually produces, then locating each gap, assessing its impact and giving it an owner until it closes.

Today that join is rebuilt by hand, project by project, whenever a regulator, an auditor or a change programme asks. Tools that speed up that work still produce a one-off picture, out of date as soon as the code, data or process changes.

xflow

xflow builds process context.

We connect the regulatory objective to the process and to the code, data, knowledge and manual steps that deliver it, and make it executable. The result is context you can trust, because everything is fully traceable and explainable across business teams, agents and the regulator.

Connect

Code, metadata, domain knowledge and manual routines joined into one view of how each process runs, readable by architects, developers, analysts and process owners alike.

Find

Gaps located and assessed: missing or truncated lineage, undocumented transformations, business terms with nothing behind them.

Prove

Real data run through the process, so a rule either produces the reported figure or it does not. Each figure is proved against the question it answers, and evidence comes from operating, not from reconstruction.

Sustain

xflow integrates with your existing platforms, so process context stays dynamic and compliance can be evidenced continuously, with corrections written back to the catalogue you already run.

How we do it See how xflow turns one reported number into an executable process: traced to its sources, explained step by step and validated against its purpose. See how xflow works →
Where the number comes from

Follow one reported number back through the sources that produce it.

xflow converts every step in the process from the data, code, spreadsheets and manual work into one executable process, so any number can be validated, traced and explained.

Outcome validated against the objective

xflow's executable process context gives full traceability and explainability of every critical number.

Traceable.

Every hop from source data to the reported figure is on the map: the tables, the code that transforms them, the workbook adjustments and the people who apply them.

Explainable.

Each step shows the rule it applies and why, in a form process owners, auditors and supervisors can read, not only the engineers who wrote it.

Validated.

The outcome is checked against the objective it serves, so a number that has drifted from its purpose is found before anyone relies on it.

When the code, data or process changes, the map changes with it. The evidence stays current instead of being rebuilt by hand.

Where it is working

Unlock your hidden context in days, not months.

Three places process context changes what an institution can do, starting with the estate it already has.

BankingCode repositories

Lineage that no longer stops at the code.

A G-SIB's regulatory lineage stopped where the application code began, so critical transformation rules were invisible to the business and governance teams. We connected xflow to the repositories, read the first in a day, exposed the transformations and remediated the gaps, pushing corrections back to the catalogue.

Executable end-to-end lineage from policy to process to code to data, in under two weeks.

InsuranceIFRS 17

Every disclosure line, traceable and re-runnable.

IFRS 17 asks for traceability from contract data, assumptions and measurement logic through to the reported line, much of it carried in actuarial models, spreadsheets and expert judgement. Process context joins those steps to the governed definitions, so every disclosure line can be traced back through each calculation and re-run at close, rather than reconstructed for every audit.

Regulatory traceability proved across a system built on multiple technologies.

ChangeImpact analysis

Know what breaks before you change it.

Business terms mapped across multiple code repositories reveal the relationships between them. A proposed change is traced across repositories, data and processes before a line is committed. Business analysts and change teams use xflow to optimise complex system deployments.

Migration and regulatory change scoped to what is actually affected, with less regression testing.

Why xflow

You need context you can trust.

Executable process context is what xflow does.

Built for the process.

Catalogues, lineage and control tools describe your estate. xflow works at the level the business runs: the process, with the question it answers, its steps and the rules that deliver it.

Trusted because it runs.

Each rule is held once. The same version is used for design, validation, evidence and any agent that references it, so the context you prove is the context that operates.

Proven where the bar is highest.

xflow is built to sit alongside the governance you already run. Now proven as a process context layer at a global systemically important bank.
