Pythagoras combines the basic principles of the Pythagorean Theorem with innovative compliance software solutions. Similar to the Pythagorean Theorem, which describes a fixed mathematical relationship and is a fundamental theorem of Euclidean geometry, we strive to provide clear and concise compliance solutions for various industries. Our innovative compliance software solutions use the basic principles of the Pythagorean Theorem to ensure a low false positive rate and generate accurate alerts. Similar to the mathematical relationship in the Pythagorean Theorem (a2 + b2 = c2), we combine the different elements of compliance regulations to create an effective solution that detects the right signals and accurately identifies potential risks.
