Research · ran day 0, 06:30

You last spoke 35 days ago by meeting. Since then 5 things changed. I can cite 4 facts to a field, I infer 2 with a confidence, and there are 2 things I could not establish; ask about those first.

  • Client$4.9M in cash and short bonds, nearly five times the family's own target. Observed 2 days ago.
  • ClientClient service associate noted 6 days ago: "E. Castellanos called: the builder wants a $250K deposit wired to a new account by Friday."
  • The Legacy goal has a target but nothing funding it, and the file records intent only.
  • 3 channels the advisor uses are not captured at all: calendar, voice, social. Anything the client said there is not in this briefing. 2 more (meeting, crm) are captured without a retained copy.

What Relay infers, least certain first

  • Reading the client service associate's note, the client may intend: "E. Castellanos called: the builder wants a $250K deposit wired to a new account by Friday." This is a colleague's account, not the client's words.

    Inferred, 70 percentAsk: Confirm what was meant, and whether it has a budget and a date.

    Team note, 6 days agodata/clients/hh-castellanos.json#notes[0]
  • The firm's account record carries a note: "A $250K wire to a payee first seen this week, requested by phone through the spouse." Its meaning has not been confirmed with the client.

    Inferred, 70 percentAsk: Confirm the request came from the client and was understood.

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

  • The Legacy goal has a target but nothing funding it, and the file records intent only.

    A target with no funding plan is a conversation that has not happened yet, or one nobody wrote down.

    Ask: Is the legacy target still what you want, and when would you like to start funding it?

  • 3 channels the advisor uses are not captured at all: calendar, voice, 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.
