What this agent does

Assembles what the adviser needs to advise

In

  1. 01

    Take the question as the adviser put it — a holding, a fund, a sector or something a client said.

  2. 02

    Read the client's position from the systems of record — holdings, share class, cost basis and mandate.

Reason

  1. 03

    Retrieve the firm's approved research and the product documentation in force, with its date and version.

  2. 04

    Set the holding against the portfolio the client actually has — weight, overlap and what the mandate allows.

  3. 05

    Draft the note with the balance the rules ask for — the case against, the risks, the charges, the conflicts.

Decide

  1. 06

    Check each figure against its source, and flag prices, holdings and documents that have gone stale.

  2. 07

    Check the requester's entitlement before research enters the pack, and hold advice-class questions for the adviser.

Out

  1. 08

    Hand the adviser a pack and a draft — every claim carrying its source, its date and its version.

  2. 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

  1. 1Request receivedA question on a holding, a fund, a sector or a market move — or a review meeting falling due
  2. 2Position assembledHoldings, share class, cost basis, mandate and restrictions, taken from the systems of record
  3. 3Research retrievedThe firm's approved research, the house view and the product documentation in force, each with its date
  4. 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.

5DecisionSplits on how current the sources are and whether advice was asked for
Sources current, question in scope

Reaches the adviser as a draft pack.

Source moved, or advice asked for

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

  1. 6Adviser decides, agent filesOnly what the adviser approved — the pack, the note and any client material — written where access and policy allow
  2. 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.

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.

ApproveAmendSend back

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 adviser request

Reviews, client questions and market moves

03Sources & dates

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.

01Approved path

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.

02Human review

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.

04

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.

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.

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 →

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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

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

  1. 01

    Detect

    Re-sourced figures, adviser rewrites or late document versions rise in one request cohort.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    Located in the document retrieved, its version, the position feed or the wording of the draft.

  3. 03

    Improve

    The source list, the staleness rule or the drafting template is re-approved by compliance and version-linked.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Packs already used in meetings are rebuilt against the corrected sources.

  5. 05

    Learn

    The document that had moved is kept beside the pack it broke, and the staleness window is narrowed.

  6. 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

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.

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.

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.
