Evals & guardrails

  • Citation discipline … every claim links to a source filing, transcript or feed.
  • Agent-as-judge review of synthesis quality and balance.
  • Recency check … flags stale data and re-pulls before the coverage-lead agent uses it.

Offline reflection

Consolidates which research threads the coverage-lead agent acted on into sharper monitoring priorities per sector.

Frontier edge

  • Multimodal reading: parses earnings-call charts, investor-day slides and screened web sources natively, not just transcript text.
  • Proactive / anticipatory: surfaces the company read the coverage-lead agent will need before the meeting is on the calendar, refreshing on material sector events.
  • Continual learning: eval-gated tuning of monitoring priorities from which research threads the coverage-lead agent acted on (SEAL-style), no full retrain.
