Live AI: paste sk-ant-… API key

Static mode (default) runs all 13 scripted scenarios with pre-written research notes — no API key needed (Scenario 11 is the ORBX restricted-list interdiction, a governance negative demo). Scenario 12 (Live Custom) requires a Claude API key for real-time note generation on any ticker, with grounding check and forced not-investment-research disclaimer.

Suite V4.0 · What Changed

Verifiable, Not Just Fast

Four capabilities separate this from a research copilot. All four are demonstrable in the room.

Valuation Engine (IRVAL v1.0)

Every displayed upside, downside, recovery, and arb spread is COMPUTED at runtime from declared inputs — not typed. An independent oracle test reimplements each formula and asserts the outputs on every release.

Fingerprinted Policy Pack

IR-2026.07 with a real SHA-256 fingerprint drives authority lanes (principal / committee / block) and stamps every ledger row. The ⚖ Sandbox shows a rule change moving the fingerprint — while the restricted-list block stays locked as statutory-class.

Research Binder + ⛊ Verifier

Export the session as a hash-chained binder, then drop it back on the Verifier: the browser recomputes every SHA-256 and independently reproduces every valuation. No server involved. Don’t trust us — verify us.

Two-Clock Honesty

Every runtime is shown twice: the watched demo time (measured, compressed) and the projected production time for that workflow. We never present demo speed as production speed.

Demo Walkthrough

20-Minute Demo Flow

Designed for a PM, CIO, Head of Research, or COO audience. Adjust depth for quant vs fundamental groups.

0–2 min

Open & Orient

Log in. Point to the pipeline bar (7 agents). Show the asset class filters (Equity / Fixed Income / Macro). Introduce the ROI bar.

"This is the research command center. Every market event — earnings, Fed decisions, 13D filings — triggers the pipeline automatically."

2–6 min

Run Earnings Flash

Select Scenario 01 (CLSP Earnings Flash). Run pipeline. Show the note generating in the output panel. Point to Reg FD clearance badge.

"From data to formatted research note in under 4 seconds. Auto-publish eligible — no analyst touch required for standard beats."

Run Coverage Initiation

Select Scenario 02 (Coverage Initiation). Show the 7 agents building in parallel: 10-K extraction, 3-statement model, DCF, peer comps, compliance screen. Show IC Committee routing.

"An initiation note that used to take a senior analyst a full day — fully drafted, formatted, compliance-cleared in under 9 seconds. Analyst conviction and price target judgment still required."

12–15 min

Run Activist Alert

Select Scenario 08 (13D Activist). Show the activist playbook analysis, target vulnerability scoring, response strategy section.

"When Meridian files a 13D at 4pm, your response strategy is ready by 4:01."

ROI Section

Open Brief Section 05. Walk through the $120/hr analyst rate and per-note costs. Let them enter their weekly note volume.

"How many notes does your team produce per week? What does that cost in analyst hours?"

18–20 min

Show the perpetual monitoring concept — SC05 Rating Watch triggers automatically.

"Which research event creates the most time pressure for your desk right now — earnings season, macro events, or corporate actions?"

ROI Justification

What the Agent Replaces — Honestly

The agent automates the analytical work phase of each case. It does not replace regulatory submission, account action execution, or human judgment at HITL gates.

✓ Agent Handles (in pipeline runtime)

✓ EDGAR 10-K / 10-Q data extraction
✓ Financial model update (key line items)
✓ Peer comp and valuation analysis
✓ Reg FD / MiFID II compliance check
✓ Research note and brief drafting
✓ Perpetual monitoring and conviction drift detection

✗ Remains Human (not replaced)

✗ Management meetings and non-deal roadshows
✗ Investment conviction and price target judgment
✗ IC committee deliberation
✗ Legal / compliance review and sign-off
✗ Trade execution decisions
✗ Client relationship management

Analyst rate ~$120/hr blended · Buyside research analyst · Analytical work phase only (data extraction + model update + note drafting) · Excludes management meetings, IC committee, client communication

Methodology: Analyst time covers EDGAR extraction, model updates, comparable analysis, and note drafting only. Excludes: management meetings, non-deal roadshows, IC committee time, legal/compliance review, trade execution, and client communication. Manual cost = analyst time × $120/hr buyside research analyst rate. Actual time varies significantly by firm type (buyside vs sellside) and analyst seniority. Not a performance guarantee.

Audience Customization

Tailoring by Stakeholder

Lead with what each stakeholder cares about. The same demo — different opening 60 seconds.

CIO / Head of Research

Lead with the initiation note (8hr → 9s). Show IC committee routing — analyst conviction still required. Emphasize Reg FD / MiFID II clearance on every note.

Portfolio Manager

Show ad hoc request flow (Scenario 04) and perpetual monitoring (Scenario 05). "Earnings at 4pm, model updated and note on your desk by 4:03."

COO / CFO

Lead with the cost model. $960 per initiation note → $0.14–$0.90 AI cost. Show the ROI calculator with their weekly note volume and team size.

Compliance / Legal

Show the compliance agent (CA) running Reg FD and MiFID II on every note automatically. Show the IC committee path for SELL initiations and short theses.

Efficiency Benchmarks

Numbers That Move a Decision

Use these in the close. Conservative figures — defensible in a CFO or COO meeting.

Metric	Before	After	Reduction	What changes
Earnings Flash Note Time	2–3 hours (data pull + model + note)	<5 seconds agent time	99%+	Flash note auto-generated on earnings release — analyst reviews, does not draft
Coverage Initiation Note	8–12 hours (full analyst day+)	<9 seconds agent time	99%+	Analyst still provides conviction, price target, and IC committee sign-off
Reg FD / MiFID II Compliance	Manual check per note (variable)	Automated on every note	100%	Zero compliance misses — same rules applied every time
PM Ad Hoc Response Time	2–4 hours (analyst queue)	<6 seconds agent time	99%+	PM gets analysis in real time, not next morning
Perpetual Monitoring Coverage	Batch review (weekly/monthly)	Continuous — every data update	100%	Conviction drift detected in real time, not at quarterly review

Troubleshooting

Common Issues & Fixes

Username: cai or caibots · Password: Demo. Clear sessionStorage if cached.

Research note not appearing

In static mode, notes appear after a 2–3s animation. In Live AI mode, the note streams over ~15–20s. Wait for the streaming cursor to stop.

Live Custom (AD HOC) not working

Live Custom requires a Claude API key. Enter via the ⚙ gear icon in the AI ENGINE bar. All other scenarios work in static mode.

Pipeline shows ERROR

Refresh page and retry the scenario. Static scenarios 01–13 are fully self-contained and do not require any external connection.

HITL sign-off buttons greyed

Wait for full pipeline completion. IC Committee / Analyst Sign-Off buttons activate only after all 7 agents complete and the workbench populates.

ROI bar shows dashes

Run a scenario first. ROI bar populates per-scenario — shows analyst time, manual cost, and AI cost for the specific scenario just run.
