What an embedded diligence API actually returns
Last reviewed: 1 September 2026
Structured findings rather than prose. Each finding carries the claim, the document and location it came from, and the tier on which that source was established: self-reported, verified or triangulated. The partner decides how much of that surfaces in its own interface.
Key takeaways
- /The partner keeps the client, the brand and the pricing relationship.
- /Mandate, evidence and records are held per tenant and never pooled.
- /Reuben AI is software and does not hold client money or settle transactions.
The difference between a summarisation endpoint and a diligence endpoint is the contract. A summarisation endpoint returns text and leaves the reader to trust it. A diligence endpoint returns findings that can be checked, each one bound to the place it came from.
That structure is what makes the output usable by a committee, an auditor or a regulator, and it is what allows the partner to build its own interface on top without inventing a provenance model.
Reuben AI is software. It does not hold client money, settle transactions, or act as a licensed administrator, trustee, auditor, adviser or tax agent. Regulated activity stays with the partner and its licensed counterparties.

Questions to put to any embedded intelligence provider
- 01Can each tenant hold its own mandate?
- 02Does every claim carry a source and an attribution tier?
- 03Whose brand does the end user see?
- 04Who chooses residency and retention?
- 05What does export look like if the partnership ends?
Frequently asked questions
Can the partner render findings in its own interface?
Yes. The API returns structure, not layout. Partners either render it themselves or embed the prepared components.
Are findings retained?
Yes, inside the tenant boundary, under retention rules the partner sets to match its own obligations.
