Operating Thesis
A.

Regulatory pressure is accelerating. Clients are arriving armed with data the advisor didn't provide. Fee structures are compressing. Most operating models weren't built for convergence at this pace.

B.

AI is the most powerful tool available and the most ungoverned. Most firms have no enterprise AI strategy and no framework for what their people are already using. Technology compounds whatever the operating model already is.

Operations. Impact. Value.
