What this agent does

Watches the clocks, not the decision to notify

In

  1. 01

    An outage begins, and the agent opens one incident record from the monitoring, bridge and ticketing sources.

  2. 02

    A first-awareness moment is fixed to a source — a status page, an alert or a person — not to a ticket stamp.

Reason

  1. 03

    A threshold is met, and the agent shows which limb of 12 CFR 53.2 the facts reach and which they do not.

  2. 04

    An officer records the determination, and the 36-hour clock in 12 CFR 53.3 is stamped from that moment.

  3. 05

    A DORA classification is made by a named owner; the four-hour and 24-hour clocks in RTS (EU) 2025/301 both run.

Decide

  1. 06

    A deadline lands on a Sunday, and no extension is applied — credit institutions are excluded from that relief.

  2. 07

    A notification pack is assembled per regime, each against its own threshold — never one template for two.

Out

  1. 08

    A later report falls due — intermediate, final, or the certification the executive and the CISO both sign.

  2. 09

    Execute write actions only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation.

Product statement

The officer determines and notifies; a late notice is the bank's breach under 12 CFR 53.3, and the agent's log is evidence in that review.

Example workflow

One event, awareness to notification

  1. 1Event detectedMonitoring alert, incident bridge, service desk or provider notice
  2. 2Facts assembledServices affected, first-awareness time, duration and clients touched, each with its source
  3. 3Thresholds testedRegime limbs met, limbs unmet, open questions and confidence
  4. 4Controls appliedRegime-threshold checks, clock-anchor checks, weekend-extension rules and confidence threshold

No human action required

Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and no clock is started at any of them — the agent is assembling, and the officer's lane opens at the confidence gate.

5DecisionBranches at the confidence threshold
High confidence

Goes to the resilience officer to determine.

Low confidence

Adds a legal and compliance read first.

Officer determination

The pack is held with its facts, the limbs it meets and the confidence.

Accept · Amend · Send to legal review

Determined — the officer notifies

  1. 6Incident record updatedOnly where write access and approval policy allow it
  2. 7Outcome evaluatedClock anchors, elapsed time to notification, amendments and regulator follow-ups

Amendments

Every officer amendment is counted in the evaluation.

What should not run autonomously

Human approval stays in control

Outside the boundary — human approval required

8 items

  • Notifying the OCC, the Board, the FDIC or any authority.
    • Determining that a notification incident has occurred.
    • Classifying an incident as major under DORA.
    • Signing the NYDFS certification — it takes two names.

  • Automation boundary

    Agent acts unaided

    • ✓Assemble one incident record and stamp what was known when.
    • ✓Track each regime's clock from the event that starts it.
    • ✓Test the record against the configured regime thresholds.
    • ✓Flag what the pack is missing, and hold it for the officer for the named owner.

    Any write happens inside the boundaries agreed at implementation, never ahead of the officer.

    • Approving the impact tolerances or the self-assessment.
    • Concluding the securities materiality question.
    • Authorising or disclosing an extortion payment.
  • Changes to threshold, clock or escalation rules.

Example output

One incident, annotated

The FCA's March 2026 review named missing document review trails — this is that layer.

As received

Taken from the incident record and the bridge log — nothing on this side is written by the agent.

Evidence held

  • Bridge log entry
  • Service-impact telemetry
  • Provider notice

Why this clock

It runs from the officer's determination, not from detection.

What the score decides

Below the configured threshold the pack picks up a legal read before it reaches the officer.

Value

Where AI adds value

The same four claims, placed at the point in the workflow where each one applies.

Where the value lands

Value 01 – 04

Every event

From the incident record

03Assembly

Assemble from the record

Draw on the incident record and the regime thresholds configured for the bank.

01Approved path

The clock starts at determination

No public action has yet been brought for a missed 36-hour notice; the record is the exposure.

02Human review

Send review to the contested calls

Borderline thresholds and low-confidence packs are marked, so the officer's read starts where the argument is.

04

Build an evidence trail

The event, the threshold it was measured against and the officer who notified stay on the record.

How Nestack evaluates it

Evaluate the reporting workflow — not only the notice that went out.

Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.

Surface — the notice the regulator reads

  1. E1Final-output evaluationDid every fact in the pack match the incident record?
  2. E2Step-level evaluationDid the agent use the right regime, threshold and clock anchor?
  3. E3Tool evaluationDid it read the correct incident and the correct source system?
  4. E4Confidence calibrationDo low-confidence packs actually attract more officer amendments?
  5. E5Slice evaluationHow does performance change across specific reporting duties?
  6. E6Business outcomeHow many packs needed an officer amendment or a later correction?

Floor — the outcome the bank answers for

Failure modes

Where each failure originates in the agent

Seven failure modes, placed at the stage each one originates.

Agent lifecycle

Direction of processing →

  1. 01 · Retrieval

    1 mode

    • OR-03

      Awareness time misread

      First awareness taken from the ticket, not the earlier alert.

    Stage gathers

    Incident record, bridge log, provider notices and rules

  2. 02 · Reasoning

    2 modes

    • OR-04

      Severity scale mapped

      A Sev-3 rail degradation never reaches the business-line limb.

    • OR-06

      Stale hypothesis repeated

      An intermediate report repeats a root cause already disproved.

    Stage proposes

    Regime limbs, gaps, clock anchor and confidence

  3. 03 · Tool / write

    2 modes

    • OR-02

      Clock started by the tool

      A classification time no named owner can stand behind.

    • OR-05

      Weekend extension applied

      A credit institution is expressly excluded from that relief.

    Stage writes

    Only where write access and approval policy allow it

  4. 04 · Output

    1 mode

    • OR-01

      Countdown from detection

      A clock is displayed that the determination never started.

    Stage returns

    The pack the officer notifies the regulator with

  5. 05 · Change / Version

    1 mode

    • OR-07

      Silent threshold drift

      A model or rule change narrows what the agent raises.

    Stage tracks

    Model, prompt, threshold rules and regime config

  • Sev-1 · pack acted on outside the boundary
  • Sev-2 · a wrong clock reaches the officer
  • Sev-3 · source degrades, pack routes to review

Affected slices

A late notification is never evenly spread

A group-level on-time rate is set by the regime with the longest clock, while the shortest clocks carry the misses. Nestack reports the late-notification rate by regime, not only in total.

Slice performance — reported separately, not only in aggregate

2 of 4 slices over threshold

Evidence-linked improvement

Each cycle closes with a new clock case

A cycle is done when the missed notification has become a case the next release must pass. That suite is what the next event worked is measured against.

Improvement cycle · five stages

Switchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn

  1. 01

    Detect

    Late notifications rise in one regime.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    The outage where nobody could say when the bank decided it counted is traced back to one cause — a determination made verbally at 02:40.

  3. 03

    Improve

    Stamp the change; the events behind it are filed against that number.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Each touched case is run once more, and one red holds the release back.

  5. 05

    Learn

    It stays as a standing test, and the threshold rules move with it.

  6. Learn → Detect

    The return edge. The next detection runs against a suite one clock case longer.
