Rowspace cut a CLO mock-portfolio build across 200-400 credit names from 2-3 days in Excel to minutes, about 80-90% complete, with the PM finishing the last 10%. The trust comes from staff encoding which of 20 sources wins, worked out with the client's finance team on site. That human-adjudicated rulebook is what the physics and grant-writing reads are missing.
AIMA's survey of $788bn in hedge fund assets found 95% AI adoption and under 5% using it for portfolio optimization. That gap is not a maturity curve; it is a fiduciary ceiling with no infrastructure underneath it. Sand Grove's Caplan says the judgment layer above AI is permanent even in the long run, and Anaconda and Pharo confirm the pattern independently: AI handles documents and back office, stops at security selection. What's gating deployment isn't model quality; it's the absence of a scoring layer that lets a CRO sign off on broader scope without carrying personal liability for the output. The same ceiling shows up in Anthropic's interpretability work: once cognition is auditable, alignment posture becomes a measurable input rather than a vendor claim, and procurement frameworks aren't built for either. The next decade of enterprise AI value capture sits in whoever builds that infrastructure, not in whoever ships the next model.
AIMA's $788bn hedge fund survey shows 95% AI adoption against under 5% using it for portfolio optimization; that gap is not a maturity curve, it is the verification ceiling in a fiduciary domain. Sand Grove's Caplan frames the judgment layer above AI as permanent, even in the long term, and Anaconda and Pharo confirm the same pattern: AI for documents and back office, never for security selection. The next decade of enterprise AI value capture sits in the scoring infrastructure that lets a CRO sign off on broader scope, not in a better model.
