All 7 agent slots run on every pipeline. Two slots adapt their specialist role to the scenario type: Slot 1 = Fundamental (equity) / Credit (HY/SC03) / same slot; Slot 4 = Macro (equity) / Sector (credit/SC03) / Rates (macro/SC07). The other 5 slots — Valuation, Sentiment, Risk, Compliance, Portfolio — are constant across all 13 scenarios (in Scenario 11 all seven slots halt at the restricted-list interdiction — the halt itself is the demonstration). Total distinct named agents across scenario library: 12.

| Gate | Type | What the Analyst Does |
|---|---|---|
| AUTO Clearance | AUTO | Earnings flash notes on beats where Reg FD cleared and no rating change. SC01 VYRA is the demo example. No analyst touch required — compliance gate must clear first. |
| Reg AC Certification + Principal Release | REQUIRED | The analyst attests the statutory Reg AC certification (17 C.F.R. §242.501) by name; the Supervisory Analyst then records the principal release. Research is never auto-distributed — 7 of 13 scenarios, including the rated note in the flash lane (the no-rating data flash releases automatically). |
| IC Committee | REQUIRED | Coverage initiations, credit distress and SELL/short theses require analyst certification plus 3 committee signatures (Research Compliance, Supervisory Analyst, Head of Research) — 3 of 13 scenarios. |
| Restricted-List Hard Block | STRUCTURAL | Restricted names are interdicted at TTL-zero BEFORE any analysis runs (Scenario 11). No override exists in the console — only a wall-crossing request to Research Compliance. Fully ledgered. |
| Analyst Override (SC12) | Full | Sealed AI candidate overridden by the analyst — substantive rationale required and hash-chained beside the unmodified candidate; Reg AC certification attaches to the human’s published view; override telemetry feeds the evaluation corpus. |
| Evidence-Conflict Abstention (SC13) | Full | Conflicting primary sources → dual-basis computation preserved, averaging refused as fabrication, no rating and no price target published; conflict quantified, ledgered, and routed to the analyst. |
| Deterministic Valuation Engine | Full | IRVAL v1.0 derives upside / downside / recovery / arb-spread and conviction composites at runtime from declared inputs; an independent oracle reimplements every formula and gates each release. |
| Fingerprinted Policy Pack | Full | IR-2026.07 · SHA-256 fingerprint stamps every ledger row and drives authority lanes; ⚖ Sandbox permits non-persistent what-if while statutory-class controls (restricted-list block) remain locked. |
| Hash-Chained Ledger + Research Binder | Full | Every event, calculation, and human action chained from GENESIS; exportable as a binder containing the policy pack, derivations, and reconstruction procedure. |
| In-Browser Binder Verifier | Full | ⛊ Verify recomputes every SHA-256 link and independently reproduces every valuation from the exported file alone — client-side, no server involved. |
| Two-Clock Runtime Disclosure | Full | Measured demo runtime and projected production runtime are displayed together on every run; demo speed is never presented as production speed. |
| Compliance Pre-Clearance | REQUIRED | Reg FD, MNPI, restricted list clearance. MiFID II research unbundling log filed automatically. |
| Position Limit Override | ADVISORY | If recommendation exceeds position limits, flag raised. PM decides on override. |
