Telecom AI agent · CPNI certification

CPNI Certification AI Agent

Put the evidence behind the annual 47 CFR 64.2009(e) certificate where an officer can read it — the procedures as configured, the complaints, the data-broker actions — and let that officer sign.

What this agent does

Drafts the statement, not the certification

In

  1. 01

    A caller asks for call detail, and the password that gates it must not be prompted with account information.

  2. 02

    A caller has no password, and § 64.2010(b) leaves only the address and number of record.

Reason

  1. 03

    An address of record changes, and the § 64.2010(f)(1) notice must not reveal it or go to it.

  2. 04

    A customer walks into a store, and § 64.2010(d) wants a valid photo ID that matches the account.

  3. 05

    A password reset falls back, and the back-up method may not prompt for account information either.

Decide

  1. 06

    A complaint about unauthorized release is logged, and its categories come from the form, not the rule.

  2. 07

    A location record is disclosed, and the April 2024 forfeitures ran on § 64.2007(b) and § 64.2010(a).

Out

  1. 08

    A year closes, and the certificate is due with the Enforcement Bureau on or before 1 March.

  2. 09

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

Product statement

The agent assembles and reconciles; a named officer states personal knowledge, signs the certificate and files it, and the carrier answers.

Example workflow

One procedure, evidence to filing

  1. 1Procedure evidence receivedAuthentication configuration, notification logs or complaint records
  2. 2Channel coverage assembledPhone, online, retail and back-up paths, each tied to the § 64.2010 paragraph it answers to
  3. 3Statement draftedThe certificate, the statement, the data-broker actions and the complaint summary
  4. 4Controls appliedCoverage checks, evidence-sufficiency checks, date checks and completeness confidence

No human action required

Stages 1 to 4 run unaided, and nothing is certified at any of them — the agent is drafting, and the compliance lane opens at the completeness gate.

5DecisionBranches at the completeness gate
Evidence sufficient

Goes to the certifying officer to sign.

Anything thin

Adds a regulatory counsel read first.

Compliance review

The draft is held with its evidence, its gaps and the channels they sit in.

Sign and file · Append evidence · Send to counsel

Filed — by a named officer

  1. 6Procedure and case records updatedOnly where write access and records policy allow it
  2. 7Outcome evaluatedEvidence completeness, channel coverage, counsel corrections and what review found

Corrections

Each counsel correction is counted in the evaluation.

What should not run autonomously

Human approval stays in control

Outside the boundary — human approval required

8 items

  • Stating personal knowledge under 47 CFR 64.2009(e).
    • Signing or filing the annual certificate.
    • Asserting the carrier is, or is not, in compliance.
    • Deciding that an operating procedure is adequate.
  • Automation boundary

    Agent acts unaided

    • ✓Assemble the procedure evidence and name the channel it governs.
    • ✓Bind each configured challenge to the § 64.2010 paragraph behind it.
    • ✓Sort the complaint log to the categories the Commission form names.
    • ✓Draft the accompanying statement against what the procedures do.

    Nothing is signed or filed except by a named officer, inside the agreed boundaries.

    • Judging a complaint outside the unauthorized-release scope.
    • Telling a customer their CPNI was handled lawfully.
    • Deciding what an action against a data broker achieved.
  • Changes to authentication rules or notification templates.

Example output

One procedure, annotated

Our customer-support agent runs the challenge on the call; this record is the evidence that it is adequate.

As received

Taken from the live channel configuration and the notification log — it reaches as far as the logs do.

What the record holds

  • Password-rule evidence
  • Notification records
  • Complaint log entries

Why no adequacy call here

Adequacy is the officer test under 47 CFR 64.2009(e), not a model output.

What the score decides

Below the configured threshold the draft picks up a counsel read before the officer sees it.

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 procedure

From the channel that runs it

03Evidence

Where the certification is used

Our fraud and SIM-swap agent scores a request against the challenge set your officer certified; this page holds that certification.

01Approved path

Personal knowledge, or none

47 CFR 64.2009(e) contemplates a statement that the carrier is not in compliance, so no draft asserts compliance the procedures do not carry.

02Human review

What was found, and what was not

Rehearing en banc was granted on 31 July 2026, vacating the decision that upheld the 2024 amendments, and no enforcement of § 64.2009(e) was found.

04

Build an evidence trail

The procedure, the channel it governs and the officer who certified stay on the record.

Integrations

Typical integrations

Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.

  • Filing and docket

    • ECFS
    • EB Docket No. 06-36
    • Enforcement Bureau records
  • Authentication systems

    • IVR
    • CRM
    • retail counter
    • Self-service and app login
  • Customer records

    • Account
    • address of record
    • Notification logs

Agent

CPNI certification evidence

  • Reads the procedures
  • Drafts the statement
  • Holds for the officer
  • Complaint and case systems

    • CRM
    • ticketing
    • Data-broker action files
  • Observability & evaluation

    • OpenTelemetry
    • Langfuse
    • Supported monitoring/evaluation sources

Integration availability depends on the client's existing systems and API access.

How Nestack evaluates it

Evaluate the whole assembly — not only the statement that comes out.

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

Surface — the certificate an officer signs

  1. E1Final-output evaluationDid the draft record the evidence behind each procedure?
  2. E2Step-level evaluationDid the agent read the right channel, the right paragraph and the live configuration?
  3. E3Tool evaluationDid it read and write the correct procedure record and the correct complaint?
  4. E4Confidence calibrationDo low-confidence drafts actually attract more counsel corrections?
  5. E5Slice evaluationHow does performance change across specific customer channels?
  6. E6Business outcomeHow many drafts needed a correction before the officer signed?

Floor — the outcome the carrier answers for

Failure modes

Where each failure originates in the agent

Seven failure modes, set at the stage in the agent where each begins.

      Thin draft passed forward

      A draft moves on without the counsel read.

    • IL-05

      A complaint is sorted to the wrong category.

    Stage writes

    Only where write access and approval policy allow it

  4. 04 · Output

    • IL-01

      Filed, evidence unrecorded

      The record shows a certificate but not what supported it.

    Stage returns

    The statement an officer signs and the Bureau reads

  5. 05 · Change / Version

    1 mode

    • IL-07

      Silent procedure regression

      A configuration change moves the procedure, not the record.

  • Sev-1 · a certificate filed without an officer
  • Sev-2 · a wrong procedure reaches the record
  • Sev-3 · source degrades, draft holds unsigned

Affected slices

One channel absorbs the corrections

A channel-level procedure-evidence figure can read clean while one channel carries most of the corrections. Nestack reports the counsel-correction rate by channel, not only in total.

Evidence-linked improvement

What an unevidenced procedure costs

A cycle closes when the unevidenced procedure is a regression case. That suite is what the next certificate drafted is measured against.

Improvement cycle · five stages

Switchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn

  1. 01

    Detect

    Counsel-correction rate rises in one channel.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    The password rule that had been written down once and never read against a call is read back until one cause remains.

  3. 03

    Improve

    The change ships numbered, and the procedures that forced it ride with it.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Nothing releases while one touched channel case is still red.

  5. 05

    Learn

    It is kept permanently, and the authentication rules move in the same commit.

  6. Learn → Detect

    The return edge. The next statement is measured against a suite one case longer.

Next step · Telecom AI agent

Build a CPNI certification agent around the evidence an officer has to hold.

Show us how a caller reaches call detail today and who signs on 1 March. If your password rule can be satisfied by what a caller reads off a bill, then the statement has to say so. A forfeiture needs no jury after 4 June 2026, and a § 222 scope petition stayed pending.
