Our analysts work inside whatever your desk already runs. If you're still choosing, Centaur — in which Frontline holds a co-founding stake — is purpose-built for high-end financial analysis, from 21 years of domain knowledge.
Judgement, context, communication. The work that needs someone who understands your business. 21 years of this.
Analysts augmented by AI — yours or ours. The tools handle extraction and first-pass analysis. The analyst owns the conclusion.
Fully automated. Auditable sources. Every output traceable. No black boxes.
Frontline analysts already work inside client deployments of Copilot, in-house models and specialist financial platforms. Part of the three-month training is learning to use whatever the desk has bought, in the desk's house style, with the desk's controls.
Centaur is there for firms that don't yet have a platform, or want an auditable layer on top of one.
Do I need Centaur to use Frontline analysts? No. Our analysts work inside your existing AI tools and workflows. Centaur is an option, not a requirement.
If your desk already has a tool it trusts, skip this table — our analysts will use it. If you're still choosing, this is how we see the field.

When AI arrived, offshore providers faced an existential question: if machines process data, why pay thousands of people? The response was predictable — rebrand, wrap automation around the same labour model, launch an "agentic AI" platform. Not bad intention. Survival.
We've been at the high end for 21 years. Our analysts don't process — they judge. AI doesn't replace judgement. It amplifies it. That's what Centaur was built to do.
We'll walk through a real workflow and show you which tier fits your team.
