08 · System Design — BFSI Compliance Review Agentic with HITL

Status: Outline. Body fills in the scheduled course week. Voice: principal-level, BFSI-threaded, Apic-calibrated.

What this file is. A structured system design scaffold for the Apic Applied AI Architect prep course.

Purpose

  • Design an agentic compliance review workflow with evidence gathering, risk scoring, reviewer assignment, and final human approval.
  • Include tool permissions, audit logging, immutable review records, fallback behavior, and regression gates.
  • Show why human-in-the-loop is a design primitive, not a late-stage approval screen.

Fill-in structure

  • Context: customer, stakeholder, risk, and business goal.
  • Architecture/eval decision: the concrete design, rubric, or conversation pattern this file teaches.
  • Trade-offs: the rejected alternatives and the condition under which they become reasonable.
  • BFSI constraints: data residency, RBAC, PII handling, auditability, latency, cost, and human approval where relevant.
  • Strong-Hire answer: the crisp version you can say in an interview without reading notes.

Strong-Hire bar

  • Explains the decision in customer language before implementation language.
  • Names measurable success criteria and failure modes.
  • Shows safety, governance, and eval thinking as part of the architecture, not as afterthoughts.
  • Can be defended to an engineering lead, CISO, and executive sponsor.
