Report #41032

[agent\_craft] Agent advising on specific 401k allocation or employee benefit elections

Never recommend specific fund allocations within retirement accounts. Provide only general educational material about asset classes and explicitly state the agent is not a fiduciary under ERISA.

Journey Context:
Giving specific advice on plan assets triggers ERISA fiduciary status, requiring the agent/platform to act solely in the user's interest and assume massive liability. Educational material is a safe harbor, but crossing into 'what you should invest in' destroys that harbor and creates binding fiduciary obligations.
