Who it is for

Built around the people
who carry the decision.

The model is useful where content volume has outgrown email, tracked changes, and memory, but the accountable reviewer still needs to understand and own the final call.

01

Regulated firms

IFAs, wealth and asset managers, banks, insurers, lenders, fintechs, and crypto firms reviewing customer-facing promotions.

02

Compliance and legal

Reviewers who need the issue, source-linked basis, suggested change, and decision history in one place.

03

Marketing and advisers

Internal teams, law firms, agencies, and consultants reviewing regulated financial content.

The work

Review your content.
Keep the decision human.

Review

Check existing content and return prioritised findings, cited obligations, suggested changes, and open actions.

Supported content and channels

Review submitted copy and documents, public pages, and static creative. The visual context of image ads stays beside the review.

  • Paid and organic social
  • Image ads and static creative
  • Email and direct marketing
  • Landing pages and public websites
  • Brochures, documents, and articles
  • Affiliate, influencer, and campaign copy
Model boundary

A clear scope.
A useful starting point.

Included in this model

  • Investment promotions, performance claims, risk warnings, and prominence
  • Retail banking, insurance, mortgage, and consumer-credit promotion overlays
  • Cryptoasset financial promotions and approval/perimeter context
  • Finfluencer, affiliate, and social-media financial promotions
  • Consumer Duty signals that affect outward-facing promotion content
  • Financial-product sustainability, anti-greenwashing, and SDR promotion checks
  • Scoped PECR, UK GDPR, DPA 2018, and ICO direct-marketing delivery controls

Outside this model

  • A general FCA conduct or Consumer Duty audit
  • Product-governance, suitability, or advice-file assessment
  • Prudential, capital, liquidity, or regulatory-reporting compliance
  • AML, sanctions, financial-crime, or transaction-monitoring review
  • A general privacy, data-protection, or cybersecurity audit
  • Legal advice or the customer's required final approval
Representative review

A clear finding.
Enough context to act.

This synthetic example shows how the flagged claim, cited basis, suggested change, and review status stay connected.

Content
Our Growth Portfolio is expected to deliver 8% annual returns for UK retail investors.

Suggested change
Remove the unsupported forecast, or substantiate it with the required methodology, balanced scenarios, fees, assumptions, and warning before publication.
Decision
Customer reviewer action required

Sources and review

The relevant sources and coverage limits need to be clear before a Review. Findings support your authorised reviewer; they do not replace legal advice or final approval.
