Independent research and advisory on agentic systems in financial markets.
For builders standing up agentic execution, incumbents reading the competitive map, and regulators and institutions assessing systemic impact. Senior buyers only. One written artifact at a time.
Audiences
FOR BUILDERS
Putting agentic systems into production without losing the audit trail.
Architecture review, MCP and orchestration design, evaluations, decision-log schema, and incident response — for prop desks, market makers, family offices, and the agentic-hedge-fund teams now standing up Sentiment, Fundamentals, Quant, and Risk agents in parallel.
FOR INCUMBENTS
Reading the competitive map, before it reads you.
Strategic landscape, vendor and framework due diligence, board briefings — for banks, asset managers, and execution venues whose business models are being rearranged by agentic trading and the agent-buyer market for data, infrastructure, and analytics.
FOR REGULATORS AND INSTITUTIONS
Frameworks for assessing systemic risk in agent-mediated markets.
Working papers, supervisory guidance review, and sandbox advisory — for central banks, securities regulators, exchanges, and policy institutions tracking herding, monoculture, and coordinated-flash-crash risk in agentic markets.
The architecture
One picture of the surface this practice works on.
Agentic trading systems are an architecture, a control layer, and a supervisory frame, in that order. Most of the interesting failures live at the boundaries.

How I work
Frame
Two-week sprint. Read the regulator filings, the codebase, or the internal memo. Disagree on paper. The output of this step is the question that the engagement is actually being asked.
Build the artifact
A working paper, an architecture, an evaluation harness, or a comment letter. One thing, written down, in a form a senior reader can act on without a second meeting.
Hand it off
Walk it through with the people who need to act on it. Stay available for the questions that arrive in week six. Six weeks of follow-up Q&A is included in every engagement.
Engagements begin with a conversation.
