How COSA works

The sampling gap

Manual QA hears a handful of calls. Consumer Duty asks about all of them.

Most advice firms can only listen to a small sample of client calls — often well under a quarter. The rest go unheard: the bereavement nobody picked up on, the disclosure that was never read, the client who didn't really understand.

COSA reviews every call in scope and brings the risky moments to you, so your team spends its time on judgement instead of listening.

How it works

From a finished call to a reviewed record — in minutes

Nothing changes in how your advisers work. COSA picks up each call when it ends, and your team sees what needs attention.

Vulnerability, caught in context

COSA listens for health, life events, resilience and capability — and whether the adviser noticed and adapted.

Consumer understanding

Verify the key risks and features were covered, and flag the moments a client didn't follow.

Consumer support

FAQ

Questions compliance teams ask us

Most firms are live within 2–4 weeks. We connect your call source, set up your compliance rules with your compliance lead, and tune them on a sample of your own calls before you rely on the results.

Every call that matches your call-selection policy — for example, all fact finds and follow-ups over a minimum length. Calls you choose to exclude are still logged with the reason, so you can always show exactly what your monitoring covered.

Your own rules, not a generic template. Rules can require exact wording, check that a topic was covered however it was phrased, look for signs of vulnerability, assess objection handling or cross-check what was said against documents. Each rule applies only to the call types you choose.

Every verdict comes with a written explanation, the quoted evidence from the transcript and a confidence score, so a reviewer can check it in seconds. COSA supports your team's judgement rather than replacing it: authorised reviewers can override any result, and the original verdict is kept for the audit trail.

COSA connects directly to Aircall, so finished calls flow in automatically, and to FLG, where it matches callers to clients and writes call summaries back. Recordings from any other system can be uploaded, and an API is available for client and document data.

No. Nothing changes in how your team makes or takes calls — COSA only processes a call once it has finished. Compliance reviews the flagged moments instead of listening end to end, so QA takes minutes rather than hours.

Accounts are invitation-only, with role-based permissions and two-factor authentication. Each firm's data is isolated at the database level, data is encrypted in transit, and logins, exports and changes are written to an audit log. COSA is operated by Skynet Solutions Ltd, registered with the ICO (ZB738672).

Pricing is based on your call volume and the features you need, so it scales with your team. We'll give you a clear quote after the demo, once we understand how many calls you handle.

COSA is used today by equity release and later-life lending advisers. Because the rules are your own, it suits any regulated, telephone-based advice or sales team — mortgages, protection, insurance or wealth.
