Technology · The Harness, DWG 003

The question decides.

A lookup goes straight to the data. A hard question gets the agents it needs, numbers computed in code, a check before you see it, and receipts you can trace.

Sheet 2 of 6·The desk

A full research desk.

Eight agents, each with its own tools and a written brief of the ground it owns. The Harness reads those briefs to decide who works on a question, and every agent works to a budget.

The brief the Harness routes on, verbatim:

Fundamentals, valuation, financial health, EPS history, guidance, beat rates, earnings-call transcripts (summary or full text), and cash dividend/distribution history (ex-dates, cash and split-adjusted amounts) for income analysis and total-return construction.

When a question reaches the wrong agent, this is the line that gets rewritten.

A persona changes how the desk works: its voice and format, worldview, priorities, and what it must leave out. Built in, your firm's, your own, or shared.

Sheet 3 of 6·Evidence

Most AI retrieves. The Harness computes.

Numbers are computed in code first, then explained. A separate check reads every analytical answer before you do. Each cited figure links back through its receipts to the source row, or to the script that produced it.

Sheet 4 of 6·Decision

Nothing changes until you say so.

Agents read and propose. A change to your book waits for your approval, and you can have five agents argue it first. There is no order path to a broker: a trade ticket is written for a person to place.

QQQ · Dec 18 · 480/450 put spread

Thesis

Duration risk in long-dated tech outruns the book's rate hedges.

Timing
December expiry covers the year's last FOMC; theta costs 0.4% a week.
Levels
480 is 25 delta, 450 is 10 delta; IV rank 31.
Structure
A spread, not a put: the skew is rich and the risk is defined.
Sizing
1.2% of book caps the loss at 0.6%.
Invalidation

The 10Y closes below 3.90% two sessions running.

A good run becomes a method.

Save a run as a card and it keeps the plan the run actually followed, then replays it on fresh data. Cards live on desks, run on a schedule, and can be shared with your team.

    Why institutions run the Harness

    Right-sized

    A lookup skips the committee. A hard question gets the agents it needs.

    Receipts all the way down

    Cited figures trace through every layer of summary to the filing, the wire, or the script that computed them.

    Cards you build

    Save a good run as a card, add it to a desk, put it on a schedule.

    Dissent on the record

    Put a proposed change to five agents. Each takes a side and says why, and every challenge is shown with the verdict.

    Sheet 6 of 6·Perimeter

    Your walls. Your entitlements.

    Run the Harness in our cloud or inside your own data center. Entitlements are set per deployment and enforced where tools are bound, so a tool a user isn't entitled to is never offered to the model. The same Harness answers in the app, over the API, from the command line, and inside other agents through MCP.
