Show HN: Open-source KYC plugin for Claude – 95min→27min, £85K→£240/year
vyayasan Tuesday, February 24, 2026
Hi HN,
Just launched an open-source compliance plugin for Claude Cowork after seeing fintech teams pay £60K+ for platforms that orchestrate free public data.
UK fintech pilot (30 days, 5 analysts): • 95 minutes → 27 minutes per case • £85K annual platform cost → £240/year (Claude Pro) • Uses only free data: OFAC, UN, EU, Companies House, OpenSanctions
17 mandatory human-in-the-loop checkpoints. No auto-approvals. Deterministic risk scoring (MLR 2017 formulas). MIT licensed.
Launching today because Claude just announced Cowork plugin updates: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/claude-ai_were-introducing-up...
Testing if foundation models can replace compliance middleware for standard workflows (~70% of cases).

Happy to answer questions about LLMs in regulated environments.
