ExplainVest helps regulated advisors research, explain, and document investment decisions with transparent, evidence-backed outputs — ready for clients, committees, and audits.
Deterministic means the same inputs produce the same outputs, so results are repeatable and audit-friendly.

Illustrative timings only — effort varies by firm, ticker, and how you document advice.
Example thread — UK-listed equity research
Same inputs produce the same outputs in core Research flows — so you can reconcile numbers and attach exports to your suitability process. Not investment advice; advisor remains decision-maker.
ExplainVest is focused on IFAs who need evidence-backed research they can explain to clients and defend in reviews.
Create defensible investment rationales clients can understand and regulators can review. Every verdict output includes traceable data and reasoning.
Deterministic research views, portfolios, watchlists, and alerts—documentation-first, not alpha promises
Analyze FTSE equities using deterministic, Excel-replicable engines (validated verdicts, validated portfolios, and multi-horizon backtested portfolios at 6M, 1Y, 2Y, 5Y, and 10Y) with clear, auditable inputs and logic.
Track portfolio holdings and watchlists alongside validated research signals. Ongoing monitoring with deterministic alerts — not market timing or auto-trading.
Every verdict output is logged with full evidence traceability. Exportable audit records for compliance reviews and regulatory submissions.
Auto-generate client-facing PDFs (on-demand export) that explain rationale, risk, and key evidence in plain language — ready for meetings, emails, and compliance files.
Turn deterministic research outputs into repeatable documentation and governance — without promising alpha or timing the market.
A single place to see how each verdict output was produced: inputs, rules, outputs, and documentation. Built for oversight and regulator-friendly file notes.
Evidence-grounded verdict outputs with complete traceability to verifiable data sources — no black boxes, no hallucinations, and no alpha marketing.
Seamlessly integrate documentation into your existing research and client workflows — decision support only, with human judgment always in control.
Monitor portfolios against deterministic rules and thresholds. Highlight where documentation or review is needed — no auto-trading, no market timing.
Automated alerts based on price moves and validated verdict changes. Configure triggers that support your documentation process rather than drive trades.
Connect your internal systems so research signals and documentation can flow into your existing CRM, reporting, or document management tools.
Build repeatable workflows that take you from research views to proposals, compliance documentation, and client reports in one place.
Tailor workflows to your firm's processes — from research review to portfolio proposal, internal approval, and archived documentation.
Enterprise API Integrations: Connect your internal data, CRM, or document management systems so research and documentation fit naturally into your existing stack.
