Janet Truncale (first female Global CEO) is doubling down. Rodrigo Madanes is global AI innovation officer. 'Service-as-software' pricing pilot is an existential threat to traditional billing.
Workbench — Multi-Agent Audit Collaboration · $2B cloud and AI transformation
KPMG is betting on multi-agent collaboration (Workbench, June 2025) and strategic partnerships — most notably $100M+ with Fieldguide. Clara is the AI audit assistant. The KPMG + Fieldguide deal is the most important strategic move in the sector — incumbent firm + AI-native startup = combined threat to Lahtai.
Agent OS — Governance-First AI Architecture · $1B annual AI investment
PwC is the most governance-focused Big 4 AI architecture. Agent OS is modular and compliance-first — built for regulated industries. Aura is their proprietary LLM. Harvey exclusive deal for legal/regulatory audit. Mohamed Kande took over as Global Chair in 2024. Matt Wood (ex-AWS VP) as Global CTO signals serious engineering ambition.
These platforms define the architecture, pricing models, and expectations that audit AI will be judged against. Study, not compete.
The template for enterprise AI agent monetisation. Atlas Reasoning Engine grounds agents in CRM data to minimise hallucinations. Flex Credits at $0.10/action replaced $2/conversation — the key pricing lesson for Lahtai.

SAP's generative AI across S/4HANA, Concur, SuccessFactors. Finance agents for AP, budget variance, compliance. Critical because audit clients run on SAP — Lahtai must integrate.
Embedded AI for HR and finance. Payroll compliance, expense policy enforcement, financial planning. Payroll data is critical audit evidence — Workday is a key integration target.
The model powering Harvey, Claude Code, and enterprise workflows. Constitutional AI and interpretability research maps directly to ORACLE's Explainability pillar.
The most innovative companies are not waiting for enterprise software. These patterns define the next generation of enterprise products — and what audit firms will expect from Lahtai.
Stripe launched the Agent Toolkit and Agentic Commerce Protocol (ACP) in 2025 — AI agents completing payment transactions autonomously. Internal Docs AI surfaces relevant documentation mid-workflow.
CEO Brian Chesky declared Airbnb 'AI-first' and is rebuilding the company around it. Support AI handles 15% of contacts without humans. The 'AI-first company' model is exactly where progressive audit firms are heading.
The definitive enterprise search and knowledge AI. RAG-native architecture surfaces the right document at the right moment. Replaces hours of internal knowledge management. Lahtai's playbook retrieval should look like Glean.
Fin AI Agent resolves 52% of conversations without humans. The most mature human-in-loop AI UX in any enterprise product — directly applicable to Lahtai's auditor-AI collaboration model.
Set the gold standard for speed as product value — sub-100ms UI everywhere. AI triages issues and learns from team patterns. Linear's 'cycles' and 'triage' are the template for Lahtai's engagement workflow.
Notion AI embeds across the entire knowledge management workflow. Audit firms use Notion equivalents for methodology docs, training materials, and knowledge bases — Lahtai's playbook ingestion starts here.
Rippling's 'compound startup' strategy owns payroll, HR, IT, and finance in one platform. AI agents handle payroll compliance and regulatory reporting. Payroll data is critical audit evidence.
Large audit firms are building bespoke audit analytics dashboards with Retool equivalents. These internal tools are the gap Lahtai fills with a purpose-built platform.
The pattern across every best-in-class internal tool is identical: workflow-native, fast, learning from usage, and outcome-priced. Stripe's Agent Toolkit shows how to build an audit agent SDK. Intercom's 52% resolution is Lahtai's Phase 4-6 automation benchmark. Linear's speed-first UX is the engagement management standard. Glean's RAG architecture is the playbook retrieval blueprint. The audit firm's future operating model looks like these companies — Lahtai is the platform that gets them there.

Every competitor attacks one phase. Fieldguide does engagement. DataSnipper does extraction. MindBridge does anomaly detection. No platform covers Phases 1-9 with a unified governance framework. Lahtai is the operating system for audit — the platform all point solutions connect to.
Observability, Reliability, Auditability, Controls, Lineage, Explainability — woven into the architecture. No competitor has built or published an equivalent. As AI audit regulation evolves (ISQM 2, PCAOB AI guidance), ORACLE becomes the compliance moat.
The Legora model applied to audit — the firm's methodology is the AI's training data. Every engagement makes the system smarter for that firm. The Big 4 are building this internally. No external platform offers it. This is Lahtai's primary defensible moat.
Statistical sampling was invented because testing 100% was impossible. It's no longer impossible. Lahtai tests 100% of transactions as the default. PCAOB and IAASB are actively reviewing sampling standards. This is the audit profession's biggest methodology change in 50 years.
Harvey ($100M ARR, 42% Am Law 100) and Legora ($1.8B) prove AI-native professional service platforms achieve rapid, massive scale in conservative regulated sectors. The audit market is 3x larger and less AI-penetrated than legal.
Big 4 are building internal-only platforms. Mid-tier firms (BDO, RSM, Grant Thornton, Mazars) have 100,000+ auditors globally with no AI-native platform. Lahtai's ICP starts here — greatest need, weakest incumbents.
Legora proved that an AI-native collaboration workspace in a conservative, regulated professional services sector can reach $1.8B in years, not decades. Harvey proved it again in legal. The audit market is 3x larger, less penetrated, and facing an imminent regulatory reckoning on AI governance (ISQM 2, PCAOB, IAASB). Lahtai is the only platform combining 100% population testing, the ORACLE AI governance framework, firm-specific playbook ingestion, and end-to-end agentic workflow across all 9 audit phases. The Big 4 are spending $6B+ collectively to build this internally. Mid-tier firms — 100,000+ auditors with no internal R&D budget — need exactly what Lahtai is building. We are the Harvey for audit, with a larger market and a clearer regulatory tailwind.
| When they say... | Lahtai responds... | Proof point |
|---|---|---|
| We already use Fieldguide | Fieldguide manages the engagement workflow. Lahtai tests 100% of your population, provides ORACLE governance, and ingests your playbook. We complement Fieldguide — we're the engine, they're the workflow. | Fieldguide has no population testing engine or AI governance framework |
| We already use DataSnipper | DataSnipper extracts from documents. Lahtai automates the entire audit workflow across 9 phases. DataSnipper is our data input, not our competition. | DataSnipper is a tool; Lahtai is a platform |
| We'll wait for the Big 4 to build this | KPMG spent $2B and still partnered with Fieldguide. Big 4 AI is internal-only — your firm gets nothing. Lahtai gives you Big 4-equivalent AI on day one. | KPMG + Fieldguide = Big 4 can't build everything |
| We can build it ourselves | Deloitte has 450,000 people and $2B and still uses external tools. Your firm has 200 auditors. Lahtai gives you Big 4-level AI immediately. | No mid-tier firm has internal AI R&D at this scale |
| AI isn't reliable enough for audit | ORACLE was built exactly for this. Every AI decision has explainability, full lineage, and human-in-loop escalation. ORACLE makes AI defensible in front of regulators. | ORACLE is the only published AI governance framework built for audit |
| We're concerned about data security | Lahtai is built on audit-grade security from day one. GDPR, SOC 2, ISQM-aligned. Your client data never trains our models. | Security-first architecture as a baseline requirement |
