PFS Handbook

Procedures · SOPs · Work instructions

Foundation · Phase 0

The firm's source of truth for how we do things.

PFS Handbook is the single source of truth for the policies, procedures, and SOPs staff execute every day — with version history, approvals, attestations, and an AI assistant that never invents an answer.

For staff

Read, search, ask

Find any procedure in seconds. Ask the AI assistant — answers cite the section they came from. Never invented, never out of date.

For authors

Draft, review, publish

Sectioned rich-text editor, collaborators, comments, multi-stage approvals, version diffs, scheduled reviews. Every change recorded.

For compliance

Evidence on demand

Tamper-evident PDF packs with SHA-256. Attestation records. Append-only audit log. Built for FCA and DORA inspection.
