  1. Deloitte's $10–35T Is Headroom, Not Revenue — And Headroom Gets Competed Away

    Deloitte projects agentic AI frees a quarter to half of an adviser's day and opens $10–35T of AUM capacity. Read the noun: capacity. The forecast only becomes revenue if freed hours convert into new relationships instead of into lower fees — and an industry-wide cost drop is the textbook setup for lower fees.

  2. The 1% fee was the business model. An AI advisor just set it to zero.

    Autonomous Technologies Group emerged from stealth with $15M and a wealth manager priced at 0% advisory fees. Strip out the fee and you see what actually held incumbent advice together — and where an agent should be racing to compete.
