Consultants bring judgment and relationships. AuditDSS brings depth and speed. The best compliance teams use both — but the economics are dramatically different.

| Cost per assessment | $10-22 | $15,000-$50,000 |
| Turnaround time | < 5 minutes | 2-4 weeks |
| Granularity | 146,445 obligations | ~12,278 rules (varies) |
| Risk scoring method | 4-axis probabilistic | Expert judgment (H/M/L) |
| Enforcement calibration | 23 actions + FATF data | Consultant experience |
| Cascade analysis | Bayesian propagation | Not typically done |
| Repeatability | 100% consistent | Varies by person |
| Scalability | 80-300/month | 1 per 2-4 weeks |

The strongest compliance programs combine automated depth with human judgment.
