Human oversight for AI-generated advice
Route every piece of AI-generated financial advice to a qualified human reviewer before it reaches your clients. Enforce SLAs, track decisions, and prove oversight at every step.
What is Bedrock Principal?
Bedrock Principal is the review workflow layer between your AI and your clients. When your AI system generates financial advice, Principal automatically routes it to your firm's FCA-authorised reviewers — compliance officers, CF30 holders, or other qualified individuals — before it can be delivered.
The reviewer reads the full document, works through a structured checklist, and makes a decision: approve, modify, or reject. Every step is tracked, timed, and recorded on the Bedrock Ledger. The result is a provable, auditable chain of human oversight that satisfies regulatory requirements and protects your clients.
How a review works
Document submitted
Your firm submits AI-generated advice to the Bedrock API. The document, client reference, and metadata are captured automatically.
Queued for review
The job enters a priority queue with an SLA countdown. Deadlines are enforced from the moment of submission, not when a reviewer picks it up.
Reviewer assigned
One of your firm’s FCA-authorised reviewers is automatically assigned based on availability and configurable routing rules. No manual triage required.
Review in progress
The reviewer reads the full document, completes a structured checklist, and adds notes. Scroll tracking and time-on-page ensure thorough review.
Decision made
The reviewer approves, requests modifications, or rejects the advice. Every decision includes full reasoning and is recorded immutably on the ledger.
Certificate issued
A tamper-proof certificate is generated with cryptographic proof and added to the Bedrock Ledger. It can be verified by anyone, at any time.
Why human review matters
AI can draft financial advice at scale, but it cannot take responsibility for it. Under the FCA's Principles for Business and Consumer Duty, firms remain accountable for the suitability of advice — which in practice means a qualified human from your team must assess it before it reaches the client. Principal gives your reviewers the structured workflow, and Ledger gives you the proof it happened.
Bedrock Principal does not replace the reviewer. It gives them a structured, enforceable workflow that ensures every document is read, every checklist is completed, and every decision is recorded with full reasoning. The AI drafts. The human decides. The ledger proves it.
