Solution Overview

Problem

The generation of investment commentary is time-consuming and research-intensive, often requiring significant manual effort to locate and review relevant information, and is disproportionately time-consuming due to regulatory requirements, particularly at specific intervals, diverting employee focus from higher-level responsibilities.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing generative artificial intelligence techniques to automate the commentary generation process by extracting data from electronic documents, performing queries, summarizing results, and generating text documents based on user selections and performance data, with customizable emphasis on key topics.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual processes are used to generate commentary, then employees can provide personalized and accurate commentary, but it requires significant time and effort for locating and reviewing research

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of commentaryVSAvoidtime required for commentary generation

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system comprising AI language models and processing modules that act as a mediator between raw data sources and the final commentary output. This intermediary automatically extracts relevant information, performs analysis, and drafts commentary, significantly reducing the time employees spend on manual research while maintaining accuracy through multiple processing stages and human review checkpoints.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The commentary generation process is segmented into distinct automated modules: data extraction module, analysis module, draft generation module, and review module. Each module handles specific tasks independently, allowing parallel processing and reducing overall generation time while maintaining quality through specialized processing at each stage.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If manual commentary generation is used, then regulatory requirements can be met, but employee focus is diverted from higher-level responsibilities

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveregulatory complianceVSAvoidemployee productivity

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service automated commentary generation that handles routine regulatory reporting tasks independently. Employees initiate the process by providing basic parameters, and the system automatically completes research, analysis, and draft generation, allowing employees to focus on higher-level strategic responsibilities while the system handles compliance requirements.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback loops where generated commentary is automatically reviewed against regulatory requirements and performance metrics. Employee feedback on generated drafts further refines the system, ensuring ongoing regulatory compliance while improving efficiency over time.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If automated systems are used to generate commentary, then time consumption is reduced, but accuracy and consistency may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecommentary generation speedVSAvoidaccuracy of commentary

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary automated actions including data extraction, verification against multiple sources, and preliminary analysis before presenting drafts to employees. This preliminary processing ensures accuracy is established early in the workflow, allowing employees to focus on refinement rather than fundamental research, thus maintaining accuracy while improving speed.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

4Measurement precision

If comprehensive research is conducted manually, then accurate conclusions can be drawn, but the process becomes complicated and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveaccuracy of conclusionsVSAvoidcomplexity of research process

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal automated research platform that handles multiple data sources, analysis types, and commentary formats through a single integrated system. This multi-functional system consolidates what would otherwise require multiple separate manual processes, reducing complexity while maintaining comprehensive research capabilities through centralized data access and standardized analysis protocols.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

There is provided a system for generating commentary documents. The system may accept attribution data as an input, and process the attribution data to display summarized attribution data in a user interface. The user may select a plurality of sectors and/or companies from said user interface. The system may execute news search queries on a benchmark and the sectors and/or companies. Topics of emphasis may be selected from the news search results. A large language model may be used to generate a commentary document based on the attribution data, the search news results, the sectors and/or companies, and the topics of emphasis.
