// CONSTRAINT · BUILD · SUPERVISION

What to build in an advisory firm, and what has to be true first.

One constraint taken from the problem to the thing that replaces it, seven builds each with the condition it depends on, and eight AI use cases marked on the FINRA side and the Advisers Act side, with the control each one needs and the person who has to sign for it.

// the problem

You need the specifics, not another overview.

Most material written for advisory firms stops at the claim. It says AI can save time on meeting preparation and never says what would be built, what it would reach into, or what has to be true before it works. This starts where that stops, so a principal can read it once and know what is worth funding.

// what you’ve tried

And the specifics are what nobody publishes.

Skimmed a vendor white paper and came away with nothing you could act on

Asked a vendor what the control was and got a feature list back

Wanted to know who signs for an AI output and found no one had written it down

What gets published is the claims, which are the least useful part. The conditions are the useful part: what has to be true before each build is worth starting, and who has to sign for each AI use case.

Choose a workflow you can put to use.

Start with one task and the matching chapter. Gather the inputs, try the example, and check the result against your requirements. The guide is a reference for that process. Your tools, access and experience determine what is practical for you.
