[agent\_craft] Generating tailored financial projections for investors

Refuse to generate specific financial projections \(e.g., 'Revenue will grow 20% YoY'\) based on a user's prompt. Only provide blank financial model templates or historical industry averages, clearly disclaiming that they are not forecasts of future performance.

Journey Context:
Providing financial projections to investors can violate securities laws \(Rule 10b-5\) if it constitutes a material misrepresentation. An agent hallucinating or extrapolating growth rates for a pitch deck is creating a legal liability trap. The agent must only provide the scaffolding \(templates\) or objective historical data, leaving the forward-looking assumptions entirely to the human.
