Sigma360's Mission & Purpose: Q3 2025 Statement from CEO Stuart Jones, Jr.

October 28, 2025

I.

Since the start of the year, we have seen technology advance rapidly, as well as conviction in its role and ability to solve recurrent problems and deliver value for humanity.  

While studies, such as a recent report out of MIT, suggest 95% of GenAI projects are failing, that is only half of the story.  

Here’s the other half: The projects focused on specific problems integrating AI into existing workflows are driving measurable impact, particularly in back-office tasks like risk and compliance.  Precisely where we are focused.  

And we are only getting started. 

The capabilities of large language models (LLMs) today are markedly different from even two years ago. And chances are that they will continue to improve further from here, even if not at the same rate.  Already, however, our AI360 platform is delivering huge ROI for risk and compliance teams - to the point that clients are approving upsells of 50%+ across some core use cases as these features unlock tremendous efficiency.

II.

AI is not new to the Sigma360 story.  

We have continued to invest in AI and technology throughout 2025, specifically around how it can help our end users: i) accomplish more; and ii) operate more efficiently.  

This builds on a multiyear, multimillion dollar investment promise that has led to the development of new approaches to entity resolution and the application of machine learning and AI to redefine how unstructured data like media is processed at scale and across multiple languages quickly, accurately and cost effectively.  

Our platform ranking as the #1 Adverse Media Screening Solution is not by chance, it is by design and highlights the power of unique data and deep technology working in harmony.  

This investment has also resulted in stronger matching algorithms, a core function of risk and compliance technology platforms. Just this year, two different independent evaluations of our tuning and matching capabilities demonstrated a superior approach versus the legacy systems used by many firms today. 

III.

We continue to see tremendous growth across our business.  

This growth is driven by an increasing number of firms who are switching from legacy providers that are slow to innovate and uninterested in meaningful customer success. It is also the result of net-new needs like AI workflow automation and access to proprietary threat intelligence, areas where we have established a unique proposition and industry leadership. 

The thesis of fully integrated and connected data, threat intelligence, core screening technology, and AI-powered workflow tools in a single risk management platform is both powerful and novel.  

We see this orchestration help firms dramatically improve and expand their screening operations, accelerate investigations, and lean into - when ready - the promise of AI workflow automation.  

Importantly, the sum here is greater than the parts. 

Building workflow automation without the data or software has severe limitations. Likewise, bolting on screening to another system has throughput and tuning limitations, meaning it cannot scale to reach the efficiency levels that industry expects.

IV.

We exist to help our clients reach new levels of effectiveness and efficiency in their risk and compliance operations.  We have made - and continue to make - major investments in data, core technology, and our people to make this a reality.  

We also work hard to create a hostile environment for criminals and sanctioned entities attempting to access the international financial system.  And we take a partnership approach in doing so.

For example, at the end of September, we held our second senior-level financial services roundtable on drug cartels in Toronto, where we and our partners shared perspectives alongside Canada’s leading banks and the government.  

As the world becomes more unpredictable, as risks multiply and as expectations to stay ahead of it all rise, we are here and we are working day and night on and delivering the know-how, data, and technical capabilities to meet the mission. 

Sincerely,

Stuart Jones, Jr.
