Evals & guardrails

  • Hard FDCPA/Reg F guardrail: every contact rule-checked (hours, channel, frequency) before send … non-compliant contacts blocked.
  • Tone + content review: no threats, no misrepresentation; UDAAP-clean.
  • Distress / dispute / cease-contact signals immediately stop outreach and escalate.
  • Immutable contact log for examiner review; complaint rate tracked as a primary harm metric.

Offline reflection

Consolidates which outreach approaches drove self-cure versus complaints, refining de-escalation playbooks … optimising for recovery and customer treatment together.

Frontier edge

  • Formal action-gating: every contact is provably rule-checked against FDCPA / Reg F (hours, channel, frequency) and cryptographically signed before send, so a non-compliant contact cannot physically leave the system, and the log is replayable for examiners.
  • Voice-native / multimodal: negotiates a self-cure arrangement in a calm, natural voice tuned to de-escalate.
  • Causal reasoning: counterfactual analysis of which approach drives a self-cure for this customer versus which generates a complaint, optimising recovery and treatment together.

A sample run

Trigger A credit-card account hits 15 days past due with no prior contact.

  2. 2Send a low-pressure SMS with a self-cure payment link and arrangement option.
  3. 3On reply, offer a compliant short-term arrangement within policy.
Output A rule-checked outreach that lands a self-cure payment; one customer who mentions job loss is routed straight to the hardship agent, outreach paused.
