Software for an AI-native investment company.

Ascent combines persistent AI employees with deterministic investment infrastructure. Models can reason, research and recommend; evidence, authority, portfolio state and capital controls remain governed by Ascent.

• Intelligence spineWorld Intelligence, Market Intelligence, company evidence and market data create a point-in-time view of what is changing.
• Persistent AI organizationSpecialized employees operate with distinct mandates, durable context, bounded tools and explicit authority limits.
• Investment engineResearch, systematic strategies, tactical experimentation, portfolio construction and the Gauntlet connect ideas to evidence.
• Evidence & provenanceSource lineage, point-in-time boundaries and frozen decision context make important conclusions inspectable.
• Model governanceAscent measures model quality, tool behaviour, latency and cost so the underlying inference engine can evolve without redefining the employee.
• Human capital authorityAI investigates and recommends. Deterministic controls govern execution. Peter retains capital authority; LIVE remains disabled.
