Research · ran day 0, 06:30

You last spoke 40 days ago by call. Since then 5 things changed. I can cite 4 facts to a field, I infer 0 with a confidence, and there are 3 things I could not establish; ask about those first.

  • ClientUK pension found at another firm. Observed 8 days ago.
  • ClientWealth strategist noted 10 days ago: "UK pension transfer value received; needs a cross-border tax view before any action."
  • Assets exist outside the platform and their size, cost and tax position are not in the file.
  • No trusted contact is on file.

Ask: Can we see statements for the assets held elsewhere?

What Relay infers, least certain first

Nothing here is inferred. Every claim above is read straight off a record.

What an inference is here, and what a model would do
An inference is a sentence Relay produced from a record that was written for another purpose: a colleague's note, an earmark on a holding, a flag on the firm's account record. Each carries the confidence its probe assigns (a team note 70 percent, a text classification 80 percent, file arithmetic 85 percent) and the question that would turn it into an observation. In production a model would draft these sentences and could read free text more capably; it would still not decide what is observed against inferred, what is missing, or what may be asserted without a record behind it.

What Relay could not establish

  • Assets exist outside the platform and their size, cost and tax position are not in the file.

    Advice on the whole picture is not possible on part of it, and the household's own rules cannot be checked against what we cannot see.

    Ask: Can we see statements for the assets held elsewhere?

  • No trusted contact is on file.

    If capacity or exploitation is ever in question there is nobody the firm may call. FINRA Rule 4512 asks that one be requested.

    Ask: Who would you want us to contact if we could not reach you?

  • 5 channels the advisor uses are not captured at all: calendar, voice, sms, chat, social. Anything the client said there is not in this briefing. 2 more (meeting, crm) are captured without a retained copy.

    A briefing assembled from captured channels is only as complete as the capture.
