Feed an agent slop, and it will quietly turn noise into conviction One of the most broken items in financial and research workflows is entity resolution. And it often fails in cases that should be easy. Take a simple query: News for “Lemonade (LMND)” - a public company with a ticker, SEC filings, and clear market identifiers. We ran this through a widely used news API provider. The results were surprisingly poor: 20 out of 100 results were off-target. Not subtle misses. Completely unrelated results, including a K-pop song called “LEMONADE,” a vacation Bible school flyer, a drug recall notice from Vietnam, and a summer festival in Reading. This is supposed to be an easy case for a public company with a ticker, unlike a private company with no ticker, limited public footprint, and names that overlap with products, places, songs, events, and other businesses. That is where most agentic data pipelines quietly degrade. We ran the same query through akta.pro and got 100% on-topic results. The difference is our patent-pending agentic entity resolution system, which understands companies, topics, parents, subsidiaries, and namesakes based on what they actually are. Entity resolution that holds across 20M+ private companies. In agentic finance workflows, retrieval quality is not a UX issue. It is the foundation for every decision that follows. We are publishing our news API benchmarks shortly. Stay tuned.
