Teranode Review · for RIA compliance
Self-review is not a separate control.
Teranode reviews an AI-generated recommendation using models from other vendors, flags what a CCO should examine, and produces the reviewer-attested, timestamped record of the human decision.
Teranode is software, not an investment adviser, law firm, or compliance authority, and using it creates no advisory relationship. It presents findings for human review and does not make the firm's legal, compliance, or best-interest determination or final decision.

The control gap
An AI answer should not be the evidence that the answer was reviewed.
An adviser may use an AI-generated analysis and still own the recommendation. The missing layer is a separate review that shows what was examined, what was flagged, how a person resolved each issue, and who made the final decision.
Teranode Review keeps those functions separate. Models from other vendors surface exceptions. They do not vote, synthesize a verdict, or dismiss one another's findings. A person resolves the record.
THE SYSTEM
A review is a moment. A firm needs the memory of it.
Teranode Review checks an AI answer through separate, cross-vendor reviewers and leaves a reviewer-attested record. Teranode Continuity is the memory layer we are building with our first design partners. It is designed to turn those records into a lasting account of what was reviewed, decided, and why, so the reasoning behind a decision does not leave when a person does.
What we are building it to do:
- keep every review as part of the firm's own record
- let a firm ask why a past decision was made and open the underlying record, not an AI summary
- show what was known at the time, who reviewed it, and what they decided
- re-run a review against the same historical context
From AI answer to human decision record.
Three deliberate stages. The responsibility never leaves the reviewer.
- 01
Identify the source
Select the model vendor and supply the original question, answer, and relevant facts.
- 02
Inspect the exceptions
Other model vendors run four review lenses. Findings remain attributed and in flag form.
- 03
Record the human decision
A qualified reviewer dispositions every finding and attests to the final review record.
Four review lenses. No model gets the final word.
Each lens has a narrow assignment. Findings state the factual gap, supporting evidence, and applicable rule or policy only as context for the reviewer.
Fiduciary & conflicts
Surfaces costs, conflicts, disclosures, and gaps in the stated client-first rationale.
Risk & best-interest fit
Examines downside cases, liquidity, time horizon, concentration, and missing decision facts.
Alternatives & tradeoffs
Checks whether reasonable alternatives and material tradeoffs were addressed.
Cross-vendor diversity does not eliminate correlated model failure. Teranode discloses the participating vendors and requires human review rather than presenting vendor diversity as proof of correctness.
The retained artifact
The review ends with a person on the record.
Every finding receives a human disposition. Any outcome other than Action required requires a reviewer-written reason. When Action required is selected, the system records a standard concurrence automatically. The final record preserves the source, reviewer provenance, findings, limitations, human decision, timestamp, and content fingerprint. The SHA-256 fingerprint is a comparison value, not a digital signature.

Clear about what the system does and does not do.
Teranode Review does
- Exclude the source model vendor from the review panel.
- Preserve attributed, flag-form findings and limitations.
- Require a human disposition before the record is attested.
- Produce a timestamped record with a comparison fingerprint.
Teranode Review does not
- Determine whether advice is compliant or in the client's best interest.
- Verify every fact, source, calculation, or legal conclusion.
- Replace a firm's supervision, policies, or recordkeeping system.
- Provide investment, legal, tax, or compliance advice, or create an advisory relationship.
- Guarantee that independent vendors will fail independently.
