Trader Decision Intelligence & Agent Evaluation

Make market reasoning explicit and test how an agent handles uncertainty.

Choose a starting scope

Focus, Team or Extended.

Financial AI teams and agent developers who need realistic decision scenarios and traceable evaluation evidence.

Focus

$5,000 USD

Estimated 2 weeks

  • One workflow and up to 20 scenarios.
  • One frozen agent configuration.
  • One evaluation cycle.
Discuss Focus scope

Team

$10,000 USD

Estimated 3–4 weeks

  • One workflow and up to 50 scenarios.
  • Two frozen configurations and two evaluation cycles.
  • Remediation review.
Discuss Team scope

Extended

$18,000 USD

Estimated 5–6 weeks

  • Up to two related workflows and up to 100 scenarios.
  • Up to three frozen configurations and two evaluation cycles.
  • Lightweight evaluation runner for the agreed input/output format and handover.
Discuss Extended scope

Indicative fees in USD for the defined scope. Final scope, timing and commercial terms are confirmed in a statement of work. Estimated delivery periods begin after scope, usable inputs, authorized access and the kickoff payment are ready.

What you receive

Work your team can review and use.

  • Structured decision framework, including uncertainty, conflicting evidence and human escalation.
  • Scenario pack with inputs, expected behavior, scoring criteria and failure categories.
  • Traceable scored results and prioritized improvements.
  • Extended: a lightweight evaluation runner for the agreed input/output format.

Client inputs

What we need to begin.

  • The workflow, intended behavior and an agreed model-and-prompt or agent configuration.
  • Agreed public, synthetic or lawfully client-authorized materials.

Scope and limits

Keep the boundary clear.

  • A scenario is one documented situation with its inputs, expected behavior and judgment criteria.
  • A configuration is a frozen model and prompt or agent setup. Each evaluation cycle covers the agreed scenarios and configurations.
  • One consolidated document revision is included. Extensive labeling, additional data procurement and agent remediation development are separately scoped.
  • This service does not provide a comprehensive historical market database or a certified benchmark.

Commercial details

No surprises between scope and handover.

Fees exclude taxes and third-party costs such as data, model/API usage and cloud services. Providers and spending caps are agreed in advance. Changes to scope require written agreement.
