In finance, small errors carry big consequences.
ZenCheck, built by Wall Street veteran Andrey Lebedev, uses AI to validate financial documents with analyst-level precision, catching the mistakes that manual review teams often miss.
How ZenCheck Works: The Error-Catching Process
ZenCheck doesn’t just scan for typos. It understands context. Here’s how:
1. Document ingestion It takes in documents in all common formats (PDFs, spreadsheets, reports) and prepares them for analysis.
2. Automated analysis The system uses expert-designed prompts and machine learning to cross-check figures, trace logic, and highlight anomalies.
3. Contextual validation ZenCheck catches errors that don’t just look wrong, but are wrong in the context of the whole document. If a table contradicts a paragraph summary, it flags it.
4. Memory retention It remembers previous versions and flags formatting shifts or recurring inconsistencies across time.
5. Correction suggestions It doesn’t just point to a problem. It offers fixes grounded in financial reporting best practices.
The Problem with Traditional Document Validation
Manual validation is still common in finance, but it’s full of pain points:
Time-consuming and tedious
Prone to human fatigue
Dependent on niche expertise
Hard to scale across growing document volume
As markets get faster, the cost of slow or inaccurate review only grows.
ZenCheck's Wordware-Powered Solution
ZenCheck built its core validation engine using Wordware. That allowed them to go from expert intuition to scalable automation without needing a large engineering team.
Here’s what Wordware unlocked:
Domain knowledge to logic Andrey wrote the prompts. Wordware turned them into workflows that work.
Agent-based validation ZenCheck’s flows use AI agents to scan documents section by section, cross-reference facts, and flag discrepancies—just like a senior analyst would.
Engineer-expert collaboration Financial experts define what the system should look for. Engineers use Wordware to connect those instructions to the AI engine.
Massive scale ZenCheck now runs dozens of reusable prompts across thousands of documents, with reliability that manual reviews can’t match.
Key Benefits for Financial Organizations
Companies using ZenCheck see real results:
Fewer mistakes Even subtle, context-based errors are caught before they reach clients or regulators.
Lower costs You can do more with smaller teams by eliminating manual review hours.
Faster decisions Reports are validated and ready to act on sooner—without sacrificing accuracy.
The Future of Document Validation
ZenCheck’s approach is a glimpse of where document review is going:
Machine learning will keep improving precision across industries
Validation will happen in real time as documents are created
More tools will be built for experts, not engineers
Use cases will expand beyond finance to legal, healthcare, and compliance
