The reasons the company gives

The company's own explanation, not something inferred from the numbers.

An internal AI contest prototype demonstrated that confidential information could be processed with high accuracy without sending it externally, while also reducing costs and manual work. Nowcast aims to apply the platform to the challenge, common across the financial industry, of processing text data with AI when the data cannot be sent externally.
