A worked example of an AI-generated advisory answer reviewed by model vendors separate from the source, then dispositioned and decided by a human reviewer.
Prepare a general response for an advisor considering whether to use a 70/30 allocation template for a hypothetical household approaching retirement.
A 70/30 allocation is appropriate because equities have historically produced stronger long-term returns, and the 30% bond allocation should provide sufficient stability. The advisor can implement the allocation and review it annually.
“A 70/30 allocation is appropriate because equities have historically produced stronger long-term returns.”
The answer gives no cited return series, period, inflation treatment, or household-specific evidence supporting the stated allocation. Historical-return evidence can inform analysis but does not establish that an allocation fits a particular investor. This flags an evidence gap for human review; it does not determine that the recommendation is wrong or noncompliant.
Written basis. Remove the conclusion until the supporting evidence, assumptions, and household facts are documented.
“The advisor can implement the allocation.”
The answer contains no facts about compensation, product selection, account type, rollover context, or other conflicts that could affect the recommendation. Advisers generally evaluate and disclose material conflicts in the context of their fiduciary obligations. This flags missing conflict context for the reviewer; it does not determine a fiduciary breach or disclosure violation.
Written basis. Obtain and document the account, product, compensation, and conflict facts before the answer is considered for use.
“The 30% bond allocation should provide sufficient stability.”
The answer does not state the household's time horizon, withdrawal needs, liquidity reserve, tax circumstances, loss capacity, or the composition and duration risk of the bond allocation. Those facts are relevant to a human assessment of risk and fit. This flags missing risk context; it does not determine suitability or establish that the allocation is inappropriate.
Written basis. Do not use the allocation statement until the missing household and portfolio-risk facts are obtained and evaluated.
“The advisor can implement the allocation and review it annually.”
The answer does not compare alternative allocations, phased implementation, cash-reserve choices, rebalancing triggers, or a different review cadence. A reasoned human review can consider material alternatives and their tradeoffs before selecting a course. This flags an omitted comparison; it does not determine that any particular alternative is required.
Written basis. Add at least two plausible alternatives and document why the selected approach better fits the established facts.
The illustrative reviewer does not approve the source answer for use. The answer may be reconsidered only after the evidence, conflict, household-risk, and alternatives gaps above are addressed and a qualified person completes the firm's required review.
