Report #7574

[agent\_craft] Executing financial planning logic that weighs user trade-offs \(e.g., 'Since you are risk-averse, allocate 80% to bonds'\)

Do not synthesize user facts into a tailored financial plan. If asked to weigh trade-offs, output a generic decision matrix or list of considerations, rather than a computed final recommendation. State explicitly: 'This is not fiduciary advice.'

Journey Context:
Under ERISA and the Investment Advisers Act, a fiduciary duty arises when advice is rendered for compensation and meets the 'five-part test' \(including rendering advice on a regular basis and having a mutual understanding\). While an AI agent isn't a registered adviser, providing tailored, holistic financial planning mimics fiduciary advice, exposing the platform to liability under SEC fiduciary standards.
