Safekeeping
Custody and asset servicing
External changes can affect settlement, asset servicing, connectivity, messaging, control and client-service teams.
Global research hypotheses
Where the accountability problem may appear.
The organisations below share a dependency on external operational communications and coordinated implementation. They are potential research settings—not customers, users or current deployments.
Potential use cases · No customer logos · No deployment or endorsement claim
01 · Organisations
A cross-border problem with different operating contexts.
The research question is consistent: when an external infrastructure changes, can the firm prove it assessed relevance, placed accountability, completed the response and preserved evidence?
Oversight
Depositary and trustee operations
Independent oversight and verification depend on evidence, escalation and clearly attributable decisions.
Administration
Fund administration
Valuation, records, reporting and transfer activity rely on multiple services and delegated operating relationships.
Management
Management companies and AIFMs
Oversight of delegates and service providers creates a need to connect external change to accountable internal review.
Markets
Broker-dealers and trading firms
Venue, clearing, settlement, reference-data and connectivity Notices can span front, middle and back office.
Infrastructure
Market-infrastructure participants
Members and users of exchanges, CCPs, CSDs, payment systems and data services must interpret broad Notices against private dependencies.
02 · Roles
Useful to the people who act—and the people who must oversee.
Likely perspectives sit across operations, change, technology, risk, control, compliance and service management. Intelplexis is testing how these roles share authority without losing attribution.
Operations
Understands the operational effect
Technology
Understands systems and dependencies
Change
Coordinates implementation
Risk & control
Challenges and oversees handling
Approvers
Exercise formal decision authority
03 · Shared questions
The same five questions travel well.
01
What changed?
Separate source fact from recipient interpretation.
02
Does it apply?
Test the Notice against actual firm dependencies.
03
Who owns it?
Record an authorised human allocation.
04
Who approves?
Keep decision authority distinct from task participation.
05
Where is the evidence?
Connect completion and confirmation back to the Notice.
Boundary
What remains uncertain?
Make unresolved facts visible instead of silently inferring them.
Research participation
Recognise the problem in your operating model?
A short practitioner conversation can help distinguish a real control gap from a neat-looking product theory.
