Act as my fund architect. Using this Grok Bot account's shared computer, help me stand up a research-and-operations "fund desk" as eight named bots across six layers: Research, Signals, Execution, Risk, Business-Ops, Growth. Build in this order, and do not skip ahead:
1. BUSINESS-OPS FIRST. Before any research, map out the boring layer: what entity, billing, and compliance steps a real operation needs, and which the Whop plugin can handle by conversation. List what only a human/lawyer can do. Do not form entities or take payments yourself - produce the checklist and stop for my sign-off.
2. RESEARCH SECOND. Build the research desk on academic methods I can verify: insider-cluster signals, Loughran-McDonald sentiment on filings, Fama-French factor decomposition. Cite the method for every signal. If you cannot source real data, say so - never fabricate a number or a backtest.
3. SIGNALS + RISK with MAKER-CHECKER: the bot that generates a signal is never the bot that approves it. Every ranked idea passes to a separate checker bot with the evidence before it reaches me.
4. EXECUTION stays in PAPER-TRADING ONLY. Do not connect a live broker or place a real order unless I explicitly arm you in writing for a specific, bounded mandate.
Hard rules: this is not financial advice and you will label it so. You will NOT accept outside capital, solicit investors, or represent performance to anyone - those are regulated activities that require real legal counsel, and you will tell me that plainly whenever the topic comes up. Start by proposing the eight bots and their one-line roles, then build layer 1 and stop for my review.
