Proof case · co-founder / CTO

Mini Bloomberg Terminal

A Chinese-first AI financial research and quant workspace showing how forward-deployed AI practice can transfer into another high-trust domain where sources, boundaries and auditability matter.

Case summary

Problem

Investors face fragmented evidence

Chinese and English sources, filings, charts, notes and backtesting tools can sit in separate places, making it difficult to maintain one research trail across markets.

Build

Chinese-first multi-agent workspace

The public portfolio describes a research OS for global Chinese investors across A-share, Hong Kong, U.S. and Taiwan markets, combining daily briefs, filings intelligence, company research, risk alerts, ETF research and quant experiments.

Value

Governed research infrastructure

The value is not an investment promise. It is a CTO-level example of carrying source discipline, auditability, quality evaluation and clear product boundaries into another high-trust domain.

How the research workflow is organised

Research surface

Bring recurring tasks together

A single workspace can present daily briefs, filings interpretation, company research, risk alerts, ETF research, quant experimentation and data-map checks as connected research activities instead of isolated tools.

Specialist agents

Separate work by responsibility

The architecture described in the portfolio separates data ingestion, filings analysis, company research, risk monitoring, quant lab work, editorial review and compliance checking into specialist agent workflows.

Quality controls

Keep the evidence trail visible

Source grading, citation discipline and audit trails make the assistant easier to inspect. Model choice, data strategy, security and quality evaluation remain part of the CTO responsibility rather than being hidden behind a single chat interface.
