Research · ran day 0, 06:30

You last spoke 60 days ago by meeting. Since then 6 things changed. I can cite 4 facts to a field, I infer 1 with a confidence, and there are 5 things I could not establish; ask about those first.

  • ClientA beneficiary turns 25; a trust payout rule starts. Observed 6 days ago.
  • ClientClient information due for refresh (two beneficiaries). Observed 10 days ago.
  • 2 beneficiaries are on the account and no contact with any of them is logged.
  • No trusted contact is on file.

Ask: Would you be comfortable with us meeting the beneficiaries directly?

What Relay infers, least certain first

  • The firm's account record carries a note: "Beneficiary change to a younger family member, requested by phone, on an account whose oldest holder is 79." 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

  • 2 beneficiaries are on the account and no contact with any of them is logged.

    The next generation's intentions are not in the file; assets that pass to people we have never spoken to are the retention risk.

    Ask: Would you be comfortable with us meeting the beneficiaries directly?

  • 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.
