Signal

An AI-based financial recommendation stacks several layers: model, configuration, personalisation, information and optimisation. Each can be documented.

Paradox

Transparency of each component says nothing about their sum. The “best for you” emerges from the stack.

Implication

The decision must be tested end to end, not just brick by brick. The suitability duty applies to the final outcome.
