Evals & guardrails

  • Spread computations reconciled against source secondary levels.
  • Concession read sanity-checked against recent comparable new issues.
  • The desk agent re-derives and owns the pricing recommendation to the client.

Offline reflection

Replays printed deals vs. its concession reads to calibrate new-issue premium assumptions per rating tier and market regime.

Frontier edge

  • On-device / edge inference: a local low-latency model on the real-time secondary feed so spread reads track the curve without round-tripping.
  • World-model simulation: simulates likely new-issue concession and demand at each spread level before the desk lands on guidance.
  • Continual learning: eval-gated calibration of premium assumptions per rating tier from printed vs. predicted (SEAL-style), no full retrain.
