AI in Markets Checklist

LLM for Finance Deployment Checklist

This checklist turns the deployment guide into a sign-off list. Work down it before going live and again after any model or prompt change. Items are tagged by priority: essential items gate the launch, recommended items prevent the most common production incidents, and nice-to-have items harden a working pipeline.

Checklist Sections

Work in focused batches instead of one long wall

Section 1

Phase 1: Scope and model selection

3 items
Use The ToolComparators

Model Selector for Finance

Input task, latency budget, cost budget, context size, and quality sensitivity; get ranked model recommendations with rationale — grounded in published.

ToolOpen ->
Use The ToolCalculators

Token-Cost Optimizer

Compute the dollar cost of a trading research loop across Claude, GPT, and Gemini. Prompt length × model × retry × call volume → cost per idea and per.

ToolOpen ->

Section 2

Phase 2: Grounding and retrieval

3 items
Use The ToolGenerators

SEC Filing Chunk Optimizer

Pick a filing archetype, tune chunk size and overlap, and see chunk count, embedding cost, and structural-boundary warnings across three chunking strategies.

ToolOpen ->
Use The ToolPlaygrounds

Hallucination Detector

Paste a source document + an LLM's extraction. Every numeric claim in the output is checked against the source. Client-side. Catches silent fabrication.

ToolOpen ->

Section 3

Phase 3: Security and numerical integrity

3 items
Use The ToolPlaygrounds

Prompt Injection Tester

Red-team a finance agent against 24 documented prompt-injection attacks — direct override, role confusion, indirect injection via retrieved content.

ToolOpen ->

Section 4

Phase 4: Regression and monitoring

5 items
Use The ToolPlaygrounds

Prompt Regression Tester

Run the same prompt against multiple models (Claude 4.5/4.6/4.7, GPT-5, Gemini 2.5) with your own keys. Diff outputs, score drift, catch regressions.

Pro Tips

Small moves that make the checklist easier to finish

Pin the model version explicitly. Providers change behavior between versions, and an unpinned deployment can degrade overnight without a single line of your code changing.
Sample production outputs for human review continuously, not just at launch. Drift shows up in the tails first, where aggregate metrics are slowest to move.
Treat the prompt and the verification engine as the real product. The model is a swappable component; the checks around it are the asset that makes the pipeline trustworthy.
