Veritek — Fractional CTO / Fractional CEO / AI Strategy & Architecture Advisor

We build the systems that don't exist yet.

12+ years as founder, owner, and technical director building AI and data-driven platforms from the ground up — for banks, multinational corporations, and election campaigns. Not an interim manager who stabilizes someone else's system. My specialty is 0→1.

Automated regulatory reporting

Regulatory & Compliance

Transfer pricing and IAS 19 studies, generated by an AI system and checked by people — currently covering Serbia and the EU.

01

You send us the underlying data and documentation through a secure channel.

02

Our AI system drafts the study, structured to the applicable IFRS/OECD/transfer pricing framework.

03

A human reviewer checks the draft for accuracy before it's finalized and delivered in your format.

Reports delivered in hours, not weeks.
Automated search across both closed and open databases.
Delivered as Word or PDF — editable further on request.
For advisors

Studies for clients, accountants & audit firms

  • We work directly with clients, accountants, and audit firms to produce transfer pricing studies.
  • Our AI system automates the entire production process; every study is reviewed by our team before delivery.
  • Full GDPR and security procedures in place, covering data privacy and retention end to end.
  • Send us your data, and we return a completed report — reviewed by our team before it reaches you.
  • Priced at 50% of our standard full-service rate for companies — since you already hold the client relationship and underlying data.
For enterprises

Managed reporting & self-service (SaaS)

  • We set up the service for internal use, so your own employees generate and review reports themselves, on demand.
  • Reports are personalized to match each client's own template and way of working.
  • Full GDPR and security procedures in place, covering data privacy and retention end to end.
  • Send us your data, and we return a completed report — reviewed by our team before it reaches you.
  • Priced fixed per report based on complexity, across two tiers — pricing scales with report volume, with a minimum number of reports guaranteed annually by the client.
  • Fully compliant with the requirements of tax authorities and regulators.

Also available for IAS 19: the same two models — advisor-delivered studies or managed/SaaS reporting — apply to IAS 19 (employee benefits) reporting.

Founder — Not a firefighter

I'm not brought in to stabilize a system someone else built. I'm brought in when the tool a company needs doesn't exist yet — or when the vendors on the market, including established names like IBM, can't solve the actual problem.

Across banking, consumer goods, capital markets, and political analytics, the pattern has repeated: an organization has a real question it cannot answer with the tools it already owns. I've built the architecture, led the team, and shipped the product that answered it — from the first line of code to a signed contract.

Case file — Banking · Serbia

Commercial Bank (KomBank) — winning against IBM and Beta Systems

FILE / 01
  • The bank was already running two BI vendor solutions (IBM and Beta Systems), both limited to analyzing internal company data only.
  • Proposed and delivered a solution to analyze public sentiment across the entire population toward the brand and an upcoming campaign — something the incumbent tools could not do.
  • Publicly won the tender for a customer satisfaction measurement platform, against established vendors.

12-month contract. €50,000 paid upfront. First reference in the banking sector.

Predictive AI for cryptocurrency markets (BTC)

FILE / 02
  • Designed a system correlating social media sentiment with Bitcoin price, achieving predictive signal on a ~72-hour horizon.
  • Processed 113 TB of blockchain data, 30 million conversations, 1.5 million unique authors.
  • Classified BTC wallets into 7 size groups and validated findings through cross-referencing and reverse validation.

Key finding: small holders — not large players — correlate most strongly with price movements.

Case file — Consumer goods

P&G (Pampers) — uncovering the real cause of a sales decline

FILE / 03
  • Word Cloud analysis identified an unexpectedly high frequency of the word "Amazon" in public conversation.
  • Revealed that the decline in in-store sales was actually a shift to online purchasing via discounted Amazon listings — a root cause the P&G team could not identify on its own.

455,327 posts analyzed · 1.64M reach · 1-week research window.

Word cloud dominated by the word Pampers, Amazon, and baby-related terms

Gillette — reading the real reaction to "We Believe"

FILE / 04
  • Traditional media coverage of the "We Believe" campaign quoted mostly negative reactions.
  • Social listening told a different story: broad public sentiment was considerably more positive than the press narrative suggested.
  • Reach of 43.1M, engagement of 1.25M, and 7,138 mentions tracked and segmented by sentiment across the full campaign window.

The gap between media narrative and public sentiment was the actual finding.

Case file — Brand & reputational risk

Cadbury's / Lindt — a risk nobody was looking for

FILE / 05
  • Comparative sentiment and marketing-performance analysis ahead of Easter; Cadbury's identified as the leader in both categories.
  • A second, unplanned finding surfaced through word-trend analysis: significant negative sentiment linked to Lindt's palm oil sourcing and habitat destruction.

20.9M reach across 745 posts — the reputational signal that mattered wasn't the one anyone was looking for.

Case file — Political & election analytics · U.S. & regional

Election analytics platform — sentiment, influence, and geography at scale

FILE / 06
  • Led a team of ~40 people building and delivering a real-time analytics platform for election campaigns — sentiment, media networks, donations, and state-level geography.
  • Platform used across multiple U.S. election cycles (including the 2016 and 2019/2020 presidential races) and regional elections.
  • Accuracy example: a comparative analysis of three candidates for a 2018 Florida State House District 72 race correctly predicted the final placement of all three parties with 100% accuracy, based on just 3 days of research.

The system combined sentiment analysis, media-network mapping, and state-level geo-analytics in real time.

Methodology

The modeling behind the sentiment layer

The emotional classification underlying these platforms is grounded in established psychological models — not a black box.
