What this agent does
Assembles what the adviser needs to advise
In
- 01
Take the question as the adviser put it — a holding, a fund, a sector or something a client said.
- 02
Read the client's position from the systems of record — holdings, share class, cost basis and mandate.
Reason
- 03
Retrieve the firm's approved research and the product documentation in force, with its date and version.
- 04
Set the holding against the portfolio the client actually has — weight, overlap and what the mandate allows.
- 05
Draft the note with the balance the rules ask for — the case against, the risks, the charges, the conflicts.
Decide
- 06
Check each figure against its source, and flag prices, holdings and documents that have gone stale.
- 07
Check the requester's entitlement before research enters the pack, and hold advice-class questions for the adviser.
Out
- 08
Hand the adviser a pack and a draft — every claim carrying its source, its date and its version.
- 09
Retain what was read, what was drafted, what the adviser changed and who approved what a client saw.
Product statement
The agent researches, assembles and drafts. The recommendation, the suitability assessment and the approval of anything a client sees stay with a licensed adviser and your compliance function.
Example workflow
One adviser request, end to end
- 1Request receivedA question on a holding, a fund, a sector or a market move — or a review meeting falling due
- 2Position assembledHoldings, share class, cost basis, mandate and restrictions, taken from the systems of record
- 3Research retrievedThe firm's approved research, the house view and the product documentation in force, each with its date
- 4Balance and entitlement checkedRisk warnings, charges, past-performance wording, conflicts to disclose, and what this requester may see
No human action required
Stages 1 to 4 run before the adviser opens the pack — the position, the research and the balance checks are done first. Nothing in that stretch reaches a client or names a recommendation.
Reaches the adviser as a draft pack.
Held for the adviser before anything is drafted.
Licensed adviser
Reads the pack, the sources and their dates, decides what the client is told, and owns the recommendation and the suitability assessment.
Approve · Amend · Send back
Adviser approved — handed back
- 6Adviser decides, agent filesOnly what the adviser approved — the pack, the note and any client material — written where access and policy allow
- 7Outcome evaluatedFigures traced to source, stale documents caught, required disclosures present, and adviser amendments
Corrections
A figure the adviser had to re-check against its source counts as a failure.
What should not run autonomously
Human approval stays in control
Outside the boundary — human approval required
8 items
- Making a recommendation to a client.
- Assessing whether a product suits a client.
- Approving a financial promotion.
- Sending anything to a client.
Automation boundary
Agent acts unaided
- ✓Assemble the client's position, share class and mandate from the record.
- ✓Retrieve the approved research in force, with its date.
- ✓Draft the note against your own risk-warning, charges and conflicts rules.
- ✓Flag a stale price or a superseded document.
Write actions run only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation. Anything sent to a client is not one.
- Placing, amending or cancelling an order.
- Changing a mandate, model or risk profile.
- Issuing research outside the firm.
- Changing the approved source list or entitlements.
Example output
One adviser request, annotated
Everything the agent proposes is attached to the position and the document it came from.
Research pack · single request
Illustrative example- Adviser asks

As received
The question as the adviser put it and the position read from your systems — nothing on this side is inferred.
Evidence used
- Approved fund research
- Product document, dated
- Custodian positions
Why both classes are shown
Same fund, different charges — the pack marks what does not carry across.
What the score decides
How much the adviser re-checks before using it — never whether the fund suits this client.
Action
ApproveAmendSend backValue
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 adviser request
Reviews, client questions and market moves
Work from the approved source
Read the firm's current research and the product documentation in force for the share class the client actually holds — not from what the model remembers.
Start from a pack, not a blank page
The position, the house view and the product documents arrive together and dated, so the adviser is not chasing a fact sheet the day before the meeting.
Hold the draft when a source moves
A price, a holding or a document that has been superseded stops the draft, and the adviser is told which one moved and when.
Build an evidence trail
Retain the request, the sources read with their dates, the draft, the adviser's amendments and who approved what a client saw — on both paths.
Integrations
Typical integrations
Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.
Research & house view
- Approved research notes
- house view
- Analyst models
- research distribution
Product documentation
- Prospectus and fact sheets
- KIDs
- Fund data feeds
- share-class terms
Portfolio & custody
- Portfolio management
- custodian positions
- Pricing and valuation feeds
Agent
Wealth-advisory research
- Reads approved research
- Assembles the position
- Drafts for review
Approvals & entitlements
- Approval workflow
- restricted lists
- Wall-crossing records
- entitlements
Observability & evaluation
- OpenTelemetry
- Langfuse
- Supported monitoring/evaluation sources
Integration availability depends on the client's existing systems and API access.
Agent controls
Six layers between the model and the meeting
Each control wraps the one inside it. A pack clears every layer before an adviser reads it, and approving anything a client sees sits outside all six.
L6 · Outermost — last line of defence
Inward → L1 · closest to the model
- L1 – L2
- Decide whether a source may be used at all
- L3
- Decides what a client may be shown
- L4 – L5
- Keep the advice with a licensed person, on the record
- L6
- Pulls automation back when signals degrade
How Nestack evaluates it
Evaluate the whole pack — not only whether the facts were right.
Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.
Surface — the pack the adviser opens
- E1Source evaluationWas every figure taken from the approved document in force?
- E2Currency evaluationWere stale prices, holdings and superseded documents caught?
- E3Communication evaluationDid the draft carry the risk warnings, charges and conflicts required?

Failure modes
Where each failure originates in the agent
Seven failure modes plotted against the five stages of the agent lifecycle.
Agent lifecycle
Direction of processing →
01 · Retrieval
2 modes
- WA-01
Superseded document used
A fact sheet replaced after a term change is read as current.
- WA-02
Restricted source crossed
Research this requester is not cleared for is pulled into the pack.
Stage gathers
Approved research, product documents and entitlements
02 · Position
2 modes
- WA-03
Stale price or holding
The position is read before the feed repriced, so weights are wrong.
- WA-04
Held-away assets left out
What is custodied elsewhere is missing, so the adviser rebuilds it.
Stage assembles
The client's holdings, share classes and prices
03 · Drafting
1 mode
- WA-05
Past performance shown bare
A return figure appears without its period, its basis or the warning.
Stage drafts
The note, its warnings, charges and disclosures
04 · Handover
1 mode
- WA-06
Note reads as a recommendation
The draft tells the client what to do, not what is known.
Stage presents
The pack an adviser reads, with nothing sent
05 · Change / Version
1 mode
- WA-07
Research update lands late
A house-view change arrives after the pack was already built.
Stage tracks
Research updates, document versions and prompts
- Sev-1 · a client is told the wrong thing
- Sev-2 · the adviser uses a wrong figure
- Sev-3 · the pack is thin and rebuilt
Affected slices
The fund that changed while nobody re-read it
A core model holding is close to a lookup — nothing moved and everybody quotes the same price. Failures land where terms changed mid-year, and where the assets sit elsewhere. Nestack reports by slice, not only in total.
Slice performance — reported separately, not only in aggregate
Illustrative example| Slice | Failure rate | Lift | Lift vs. threshold | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recently restructured funds | 4.0% | 2.6× | Review | |
| Structured and illiquid products | 3.3% | 2.1× | Review | |
| Held-away and legacy assets | 2.9% | 1.9× | Watch | |
| Core model-portfolio holdings | 1.4% | 0.9× | Normal |
Bar: mis-sourced-pack lift vs. model-holding baseline · scale 0–4.0× · tick marks the 2.0× review threshold
2 of 4 slices over threshold
Evidence-linked improvement
A superseded document does not announce itself
It surfaces when an adviser re-checks a figure the pack asserted, or when the fund house restates a change nobody upstream had picked up.
Improvement cycle · five stages
Switchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
- 01
Detect
Re-sourced figures, adviser rewrites or late document versions rise in one request cohort.
- 02
Diagnose
Located in the document retrieved, its version, the position feed or the wording of the draft.
- 03
Improve
The source list, the staleness rule or the drafting template is re-approved by compliance and version-linked.
- 04
Verify
Packs already used in meetings are rebuilt against the corrected sources.
- 05
Learn
The document that had moved is kept beside the pack it broke, and the staleness window is narrowed.
Learn → Detect
The return edge. Product terms keep moving after a pack is written, so each cycle re-reads packs the last one had already signed off.
Typical build scope
Twelve workstreams across six weeks
The build scope read against the delivery timeline. Week structure follows the six-week plan — discovery, approved sources, positions and drafting, evaluation, the adviser workbench, then production validation and handover.

Delivery timeline
Four phases across six weeks
Phases are drawn over the weeks they actually occupy. Week 5 runs on meetings already held, so no client reads agent-drafted material to prove the agent.

W6Advisers work live packs under review, then handover
- Reading the band
- Entitlement filters and staleness rules finish in week 3 and are tested in week 4. Nothing in week 5 runs on a source those checks have not already covered.
- At the end of W6
- A pack has been built, checked and used in a live meeting under supervision for each request type in scope, and every figure in it has been traced back to the document it came from, then Agent Care takes over monitoring.
- Duration
- Six-week plan shown · typical delivery 4–6 weeks depending on scope confirmed in discovery.
Next step · Banking AI agent
Build a research copilot around the sources your advisers already trust.
Show us the questions your advisers ask, the research and product documents you already approve, and who signs what before it reaches a client. We'll rebuild a set of packs your advisers wrote by hand and show you where each figure came from — which sources had already been superseded, and which lines would have needed a compliance approval before a client saw them.
