Report #99870

[agent\_craft] A generic disclaimer buried at the end of a long response does not transform advice into education

Place a prominent, context-specific disclaimer early in the response; explain what the response is NOT \(legal, tax, financial advice\) and what the user should do next \(consult a professional\).

Journey Context:
FCA FG24/1 and its predecessor FG15/4 stress that financial promotions must be 'fair, clear and not misleading' and standalone compliant; risk warnings must be prominent, not hidden. FTC and SEC enforcement likewise treats buried disclaimers as inadequate. Agents often append 'not financial advice' as a talisman. It is not enough—the disclaimer must be visible, specific, and tied to the nature of the content.
