Frequently Asked Questions & Actuarial Standards

What is the AKI AI Adoption Ladder (A1 to A5) for hedge funds and brokers?
The AKI AI Adoption Ladder classifies financial institutions from Tier A1 (AI-Native: autonomous neural execution driving 100% of signals) through A2 (AI-Intensive), A3 (AI-Enabled), A4 (AI-Assisted), to A5 (AI-Claim Only / AI Washing flagged where linear models are rebranded without substantial GPU compute).
How is the AKI AI Broker Score (ABS) calculated?
The AKI AI Broker Score (ABS) is a 6-factor actuarial composite measuring Sub-Millisecond Execution Latency (25%), Rule 605 Effective-to-Quoted Spread Improvement (20%), Algorithmic Dark Pool Routing (20%), FIX/WebSocket API Reliability (15%), Smart Margin Efficiency (10%), and AI Research Integration (10%).
What is the Systemic Margin Transmission Chain?
The Systemic Margin Transmission Chain models how localized liquidity shocks in highly crowded algorithmic trades (such as semiconductor baskets) propagate through prime brokers, triggering automated collateral calls, forced de-grossing, and multi-asset liquidation cascades.
How does AKI detect AI Washing among asset managers?
AKI cross-references Form ADV filings, engineering job requisition ratios (AI/ML PhDs vs discretionary portfolio managers), direct GPU compute cluster ownership disclosures, and git commit frequencies to detect firms rebranding simple statistical factor tilts as deep learning or generative AI.
Can developers query AKI Capital telemetry programmatically?
Yes. All telemetry is served via the zero-latency Cloudflare Edge Worker gateway at https://api.aki1k.com/v1/capital/* with full JSON schemas and raw markdown streams at https://aki1k.com/capital.md.
