Turning AI hypotheses into solutions: research, tools and implementation

R&D and AI engineering

Context

Banks can now try new technologies legally and quickly: Uzbekistan is opening a sandbox and a fintech hub. But haste is costly: a significant share of agentic AI projects will not deliver results, so it is important to test the hypothesis on a prototype.

>40% of AI agent projects will be cancelled by the end of 2027 due to rising costs, unclear value and weak risk controls Gartner, 2025

Sandbox The Central Bank of Uzbekistan is updating its “sandbox”: a separate technology partnership track for banks to test IT solutions for their services Fintechstan, 2026

$1 B in fintech investment is Uzbekistan’s target by 2030; the Central Bank’s innovation hub will admit its first residents in Q4 2026 Fintechstan, 2026

The Built to land philosophy

High-level strategy (from regulators, shareholders or the board of directors) often remains abstract for teams. Built to land reflects our ability to “land” such challenges: we turn global directions into reliably working products that meet regulatory requirements and serve customers.
