Complaint Handling Agent
Captures, classifies and assembles regulated complaints.
Recognizes a complaint the moment it surfaces (customers rarely say 'I'm complaining'), captures it to the regulated standard, classifies it for root-cause and CFPB reporting, and assembles the response packet within the response clock. An oversight agent re-derives the resolution and any redress as a check, and the accountable complaints officer approves them before release.
