Don't just learn about AI.
Build with it.

Program Compass

What you'll get.

One day, four real takeaways. Cut through the AI noise to see exactly what changes — and what doesn't — for fraud and risk work. Build a tool that solves a real problem from your own workflow. And walk away with what you need to get your team on board and prove it's working. Not just a slide deck.

Clear away the hype

Cut through generic AI noise with plain-language foundations and live demos showing how fraud-specific context changes everything.

Real-world applications

Explore actual use cases across chargebacks, investigation narratives, threat intelligence, and identity review.

Build your own AI Skill

Participate in a guided session to build a custom AI skill for a real task from your day-to-day workflow.

Team & safety playbook

Learn how to pilot AI, protect sensitive data (PII, cardholder data), get team buy-in, and measure 30/60/90-day progress.

The gap between talking about it and doing it

Why you can't miss it.

No AI experience needed

We start with the absolute basics and level up fast. No engineering or mathematical background required. Our workflows are designed for practitioners.

Practitionner-LED

Taught by fraud and risk leaders already using AI in production environments — not consultants giving generic pitch decks or high-level overviews.

Instant ROI

Walk away with a customized tool you built yourself during the session, plus the structured framework to build more back at your office.
