For technology vendors
Be found when they choose. Know who is buying.
Show up correctly where institutions compare vendors, and target the firms most likely to buy.
For fintech builders
Build and test on data that behaves like the real thing.
Synthetic financial data and evaluation packs, so real customers' data stays out of your test environment.
For financial institutions
Every AI program asks the same four questions.
Whether the change is an agent in the contact center or a new core, the questions come in the same order. Each one has a part of Finantrix behind it.
1 · Map
Where does AI fit in our business?
Capability models, value streams and data models that show each capability's AI profile and risk, and each process today and AI-native.
2 · Choose
What should we buy to do it?
Independent buyer guides by software category, ranked comparisons, and a directory of the vendors behind them.
3 · Build
What do we build and test it on?
Feature lists to specify the system, and synthetic data to test it without real customers' data.
Throughout · Stay current
How is our industry moving?
Peer benchmarks and market data from regulators' filings, weekly data stories and analysis.
For technology vendors
Sell into the AI build-out.
The people reading the buyer guides are choosing a vendor in your category. Claiming your listing costs nothing; visibility and go-to-market data are paid.

For fintech builders
Build and test on data that behaves like the real thing.
A model that advises households has to be tested on households. Synthetic data gives you realistic ones, built for the test you need to run, with no real customer in your environment.
On Finantrix
WealthSynth
Synthetic household datasets, each built for a specific test. For example:
- Regulation Best Interest compliance testing
- Tax-loss harvesting validation, with full tax-lot history
- Decumulation scenarios for retirees
- Liquidity and stress testing
- Mortgage and real estate underwriting
On WealthSchema
AI Eval Sets
Tax-year-vintaged evaluation packs for AI financial-advice systems, to check whether a model gives this year's answer or last year's.
About the eval sets →On WealthSchema
DecisionSynth
Decision memory add-ons for the same synthetic households.
