Indicative figures. We measure your own baseline in the first fortnight so the numbers you see are yours.
Consistent FICA due diligence
Your RMCP expects every investor to be screened the same way. The agent applies the same checks, sources and report format to each one, so nothing depends on who picked up the file.
Faster fund closes
Hours of manual research per investor slow down onboarding at exactly the moment you want commitments secured. The agent delivers a complete first draft in minutes.
Defensible records
Every finding links back to its source, giving you an auditable file for FIC and FSCA reviews and for record keeping under FICA and POPIA.

The same agent and the same cited output, delivered three ways: through the AI assistant you have rolled out, on a model you host yourself, or inside your own software.
In the frontier assistant you already pay for
We publish the agent as an MCP server. Add it as a connector and your team calls it from the chat they use every day, with no new tool to learn.
