Research Framework

Introduction

The GAB/BAG Integrated Model is a research-driven framework designed to address governance, accountability, and decision traceability challenges in private banking environments.

This page outlines the current research status of the model, its deliberate scope, and the planned trajectory for empirical validation and future extensions.

Research Status

All contribuThe GAB/BAG Integrated Model is currently developed as a conceptual and architectural research framework.

Its primary objective is to formalize how operational decisions can be structured, documented, and rendered traceable through the combined use of artificial intelligence and blockchain-based governance mechanisms.tions follow a consistent analytical structure and are released periodically.

Scope Delimitation

The current scope of the research deliberately focuses on internal operational decision-making processes, governance accountability, and auditability within private banking institutions.

Client-facing applications, commercial product development, and direct financial performance optimization are intentionally excluded at this stage in order to preserve analytical clarity and methodological rigor.

Validation Trajectory

Empirical validation, applied case studies, and institutional partnerships are positioned as subsequent phases of the research agenda.

These future stages aim to evaluate the model through controlled pilots, regulatory-aligned environments, and selected operational use cases once the conceptual foundations are fully stabilized.

Research Roadmap

  • Phase 1 — Conceptual design and governance framework (current phase)
  • Phase 2 — Decision traceability artefacts and applied pilots
  • Phase 3 — Institutional validation and regulatory dialogue
  • Phase 4 — Extended applications (client-facing and financial layers)
