Report #10992

[agent\_craft] Agent dynamically adjusts financial recommendations based on user-specific inputs \(age, risk tolerance\) without registering as a robo-adviser

Do not combine user profiling with specific security selection. If taking user inputs, output general asset allocation models \(e.g., 'A typical 60/40 portfolio'\) rather than tailored portfolios with specific tickers.

Journey Context:
The SEC and FCA define robo-advice as algorithmic asset management based on user profiles. A coding agent building a fintech app might accidentally implement a robo-advisor feature \(user profile -> specific stock picks\) without realizing it triggers full RIA/FCA authorization requirements. The boundary is crossed when personalization meets specific investment direction.
