Reference

Frameworks and tools in active practice.

A working register of the agentic, predictive, retrieval, market-data, and execution surface this practice deploys and supervises against. Inclusion is not endorsement; depth is annotated. Updated as the stack moves.

Agentic orchestration and frameworks

The orchestration layer — multi-agent topologies, IDE integrations, decision-log scaffolding, and the Model Context Protocol that connects agents to their tool surface.

Foundation models

Frontier and open-weight LLMs used as the underlying intelligence in agentic stacks. Selection is a supervisory variable; harness-monoculture risk lives at this layer.

Fine-tuned and predictive models for finance

Domain-specific language models, time-series foundation models, and sentiment classifiers — the predictive layer that analyst agents reach for when general-purpose reasoning is not enough.

Trading-specific agentic frameworks

Opinionated, trading-shaped topologies — analyst trinities, RL-based execution, backtesting, and quant research platforms. Where the agentic stack meets a market microstructure assumption.

Market data and alternative data

Institutional terminals, programmatic market-data APIs, on-chain analytics, and the MCP servers that make these feeds agent-readable. The agent-buyer market for data is real and growing.

Regulatory and supervisory frameworks.

Bodies, instruments, and standards-setting institutions across the jurisdictions the practice covers. The depth column tracks how closely a given authority’s drafts and rules are read; Reading means current consultation materials are followed without an active engagement having drawn on them yet.
