Why this exists
Compliance vocabulary is famously fragmented. Every regulator, every vendor and every internal policy defines the same concepts slightly differently - and analysts spend a non-trivial share of their week reconciling that vocabulary across teams, jurisdictions and tools. Seqlense Academy is our attempt to write one clean, vendor-neutral reference for the terms our customers, analysts and partners use every day.
Every article is short enough to read in five minutes, structured the same way - definition, how it shows up, regulatory anchor, detection or controls - and links to the Seqlense or Fraudcodex tooling that operationalises it in the real world.
Vendor-neutral
We sell software too - but the articles are written first as reference material, not as product pages. Where a Seqlense tool fits, it's flagged in a labelled box so the editorial stays clean.
EU-anchored, globally relevant
The team works on EU regulation day-to-day - MiCA, MiFID II, MAR, DORA, AMLR - and we lean on that reality in our coverage. We also map every concept back to its FATF roots and US/UK equivalents.
Built for analysts, not auditors
Each article includes the detection signal an analyst would actually look at - velocity rules, network patterns, on-chain heuristics - alongside the regulatory text. The goal is operational understanding, not just legal.
Interactive where it matters
For typologies that are best understood by walking through a real scenario, we link to our partner Fraudcodex - annotated transactions, decision points, analyst commentary.
