Industry agent in preparation: Professional services
Run the firm on governed AI.MeshFirm is ASG™, the Arrochar Superintelligence Guardrails, packaged for professional services.
The suite packaged for the operations of a professional services firm: client intake and conflicts, engagements and matters, time, billing and trust money, documents and records, knowledge, risk and professional obligations, people and the reporting a professional regulator and the firm's partners expect, as governed AI agents that never give the advice or sign the opinion.
For law firms, accounting and advisory firms, engineering and architecture consultancies, and the professional bodies and regulators they answer to.
What exists today, and what does not
This package is named and its scope is written. The service catalogue, the service pages, the agents, the gates and the evidence records are not yet built, and nothing runs for a customer. The rails it will run on, AIG Sentinel and Meshbone, exist today and are the same rails MeshGov runs on. When the first service is built we will say which one, and until then the status on this page stays as it is.
What the MeshFirm catalogue is being written to cover
The operations of professional services, as governed AI services. Each line below will become one or more services in the catalogue, with its own page naming the agents, the decisions that stay with a person, the records it keeps and the standards it is mapped to. Until then this is scope, not a product.
- Client intake, identity and conflicts: the checks run before a matter opens, the anti-money-laundering obligations where they apply, and the clearance given by a person
- Engagements and matters: the letter, the scope, the budget, the team and every change to them recorded
- Time, billing, disbursements and write-offs, with every write-off and every bill approved under a delegation
- Trust and client money: receipts, payments and the reconciliation, with every movement authorised by a person as the professional rules require
- Documents, records and legal holds: filed, versioned, retained and produced, with privilege and confidentiality preserved
- Knowledge and precedents: drafted and found by agents, approved into the firm's library by a person
- Risk, complaints and professional obligations: conflicts, insurance notifications, complaints and the continuing professional development record
- Reporting to the partners, the professional regulator and the clients, from one evidence chain
The baseline we expect to align to
Professional services have no single reference architecture the way banking has BIAN. We expect to align electronic billing to the LEDES standards where clients require them, information security to ISO/IEC 27001 as the standard clients audit against, and to take each jurisdiction's professional conduct rules, trust account rules, anti-money-laundering obligations and privacy law as the policy source. Arrochar Labs is not an ISO member, and neither ISO nor the LEDES Oversight Committee has reviewed anything here. MeshFirm is an operations package. It will not give legal, accounting or engineering advice, sign an opinion or take a professional judgement, and no service in the catalogue will be written to. The choice of baseline is not final and will be stated on the service pages when the catalogue is published.
The same way as MeshGov and MeshFin
Every industry agent follows one formula. AIG Sentinel defines the policy, Meshbone enforces it at run time, Nanolitte carries the controls into reusable service templates, Databallast controls what data the agents may access, agentVIKING™ guards every agent, and the evidence chain records what happened. The catalogue for this industry will name its services, the decisions that stay with a person, and the standards it is mapped to, service by service, exactly as the MeshFin catalogue does for banking. Once the catalogue is published, MeshAgentDesigner shapes the pack to one organisation: by watching the work, by reading a drawing, or by configuration.
How it fits together
A complete suite of AI governance agents. An architecture that makes them accountable.
Each part of ASG™ does one job, in order, and hands the next part something it can check. That is the difference between building AI agents and running them so an auditor, a regulator or a minister can see what happened.
Before the first build, Orbit Roadmaps finds where AI creates value and profiles the risk.
After it, Execdive turns what the chain recorded into plain-language insight for executives.
Policy, enforcement, templates, data, controls, evidence. Then services.
This describes the architecture, not what every deployment runs today: 5 of the 27 agentVIKING™ controls are still in development.
- AIG Sentineldefines policy
- Meshboneenforces policy at run time
- Nanolittecarries the controls into reusable service templates
- Databallastcontrols what data the agent may access
- agentVIKING™is the control set across every agentAcross every step
- Evidence chainrecords what happened
- MeshGovuses the whole thing for government services
- MeshFinuses the whole thing for banking and financial services
