Trade Execution Readiness Agent

Validates trade approvals and policy compliance using LLM intelligence, and sends real-time email alerts when a trade is ready or requires action.

Manual pre-execution checks often require teams to verify approvals, confirm policy compliance, and ensure all trade prerequisites are met. These steps are typically scattered across emails, spreadsheets, and multiple internal systems, creating delays, errors, and inconsistent decision-making—especially as trade volume increases.

The Trade Execution Readiness Agent streamlines this process by using retrieval-augmented LLM reasoning to validate that all approvals, policy requirements, and compliance checks are complete and aligned. The agent interprets contextual policy rules, cross-checks approval evidence, identifies gaps or inconsistencies, and confirms whether a trade is genuinely ready for execution. If any issues are found, the agent generates a clear, actionable explanation for the responsible team.

Once readiness is confirmed or gaps are detected, the agent automatically notifies the appropriate stakeholders through real-time email alerts. These notifications provide concise summaries of what is complete, what is pending, and the specific actions required. By centralizing validation and communication, the agent reduces manual effort, strengthens process integrity, and accelerates execution cycles—while ensuring that final trade execution remains fully under human or system-of-record control.
