Question 1

Which regulations does this cover?

Accepted Answer

SENTIQUO is being built to support FCA high-risk financial promotion and onboarding requirements, including: RMMI appropriateness assessments, NMMI investor categorisation and preliminary suitability, personalised risk warnings, cooling-off and reconfirmation flows, and audit-grade record keeping. Primarily COBS 4.12A/B/C and COBS 10 onboarding rules. Learn more in our guides on Appropriateness vs Suitability and FCA High-Risk Promotion Rules.

Question 2

How do you keep up with regulatory changes?

Accepted Answer

Our rule engine and templates will be updated when FCA guidance or supervisory expectations change. Updates will be versioned, with full change logs for your compliance review.

Question 3

What happens if an investor fails an assessment?

Accepted Answer

For RMMI flows, the platform will trigger FCA-compliant risk warnings and proceed only with explicit acknowledgement. For NMMI flows, access will be blocked if eligibility or loss-bearing checks fail. See our guide on appropriateness vs suitability for a detailed breakdown.

Question 4

Are you giving regulatory advice?

Accepted Answer

No. We provide technology and structured workflows. Final regulatory interpretation and responsibility remain with your firm.

Question 5

Does this replace our compliance team or legal advisors?

Accepted Answer

SENTIQUO is designed to provide the infrastructure and rule execution layer. Your compliance team defines policy and signs off. The platform will ensure assessments, warnings, gating and evidence collection are implemented correctly and consistently.

Question 6

Can we customise questions and thresholds?

Accepted Answer

Default question sets and scoring logic will be provided, and you'll be able to adjust wording, thresholds, and escalation rules to match your compliance policy.

Question 7

How is audit evidence stored?

Accepted Answer

Every step will be logged: what the user saw, what they answered, what decision logic ran, and timestamped journey events. Evidence will be immutable and exportable for FCA supervisory requests.

Question 8

Can I export my data?

Accepted Answer

All audit evidence and compliance records will be exportable in standard formats (CSV, JSON) for regulatory submissions or internal review.

Question 9

Is SENTIQUO secure?

Accepted Answer

Security is a core design principle. SENTIQUO is being built with encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and full audit logging. Infrastructure will be hosted on enterprise-grade UK cloud providers. We are committed to meeting the security standards expected by regulated financial services firms.

Question 10

What data do you collect?

Accepted Answer

SENTIQUO will collect only the data necessary for compliance processing: investor responses, timestamps, and decision outcomes. All data will be encrypted at rest and in transit. We will never sell or share your data with third parties.

Question 11

Can this integrate into our existing onboarding?

Accepted Answer

SENTIQUO will offer embeddable UI components and APIs. You'll keep your customer journey — we'll handle the compliance logic underneath.

Question 12

How long does integration take?

Accepted Answer

We anticipate most platforms will be able to integrate core onboarding flows in 2–4 weeks, depending on customisation requirements.

Question 13

Do you offer white-label solutions?

Accepted Answer

Our embeddable components will be fully stylable to match your brand. Your customers will interact with a seamless experience that looks and feels like part of your platform.

Question 14

How does the waitlist work?

Accepted Answer

Join the waitlist to get early access when we launch. We'll reach out with onboarding details, and early adopters will help shape the product roadmap. No commitment required — just priority access and a direct line to our team.

Question 15

What support do you provide?

Accepted Answer

We plan to offer dedicated onboarding support, technical documentation, and ongoing account management. Enterprise customers will receive priority support with guaranteed response times.
