What the demo shows

Applies the house voting policy to each proxy, drafts vote rationales and the Form N-PX

The ballot sheet shows every agenda item with management's recommendation, the advisor's, the house policy result and the agents' proposed vote; items where they diverge rise to the top with the deciding passage of the original notice beside the English. Seven agents do the work: the Intake agent reconciles ballots with record-date holdings and lending; the Evidence agent reads the notice in its own language and pins every fact to its page; the Policy agent applies the house or client policy rule by rule; the Check agent re-derives the deciding fact on its own and challenges it; the Engagement agent brings the company's record and drafts the letter after the vote; the Rationale agent drafts the public rationale; the Filing agent writes each Form N-PX line when a vote is signed. Analysts decide what diverges, a second analyst checks every vote against management, the voting committee approves every override with two members, proxy operations submits, and the Chief Compliance Officer signs the N-PX.
