Corporate comms & IRPattern: evaluator-optimizer

    Corporate communications consistency agent

    We design, build and deploy an agent that takes one approved corporate message — an earnings statement, a press release, an internal memo — and produces the English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese versions that hold your brand voice, keep every material figure and claim identical, flag anything that drifts, and route to your comms or IR lead for sign-off — so your team stops reconciling versions and starts trusting them.

    At a glance

    Business valueHigh

    For a listed or multi-region company, one off-brand translation or one inconsistent figure across languages is a real disclosure and reputation risk — this removes both while cutting the reconciliation grind.

    Build complexityMedium

    An evaluator-optimizer loop — a drafter plus a consistency checker — over a single approved message; the real work is the brand-voice rubric, the figure/claim diff, and the human sign-off, not exotic infrastructure.

    Time to live~a few weeks
    Best fitListed companies, multi-region groups, and any brand publishing the same message in several languages

    What changes when it works

    One approved message → on-brand versions in every language, not generic machine translation
    Every material figure and claim stays identical across languages — no accidental new disclosure
    Brand voice holds in each language, not just the source
    Your comms/IR lead reviews the flags and signs off — nothing publishes on its own

    Time per application

    Localising + reconciling one announcement by hand

    ~half a day–a day

    With the agent

    ~15–30 min review

    Time saved

    ≈ hours saved on every announcement that goes out in more than one language — but the bigger win is the risk it removes: a figure that reads differently in the Chinese version, or a dividend called 'special' in one language and 'final' in another, caught before release rather than after.

    Indicative; actual time depends on message length and how many languages and channels you publish to.

    Our agentic development process

    Every use case follows the same seven stages — from framing the problem to production.

    Stage 1 · Frame

    The business problem

    A listed group or multi-region company issues the same message — quarterly results, a price change, a policy update — and it has to go out in English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese, to the exchange, the press and staff, often on the same day. Today that's hand-translated or run through generic machine translation, then reconciled by whoever is free. The brand voice drifts between languages, a figure or a claim gets phrased differently in one version, and for anything price-sensitive that inconsistency is a disclosure risk. The comms team spends its time proving the versions match instead of communicating.

    Stage 2 · Map

    The manual workflow today

    1. 01Approve the source message in one language
    2. 02Hand it to translators or run generic machine translation
    3. 03Read each version back for tone and accuracy
    4. 04Cross-check that every figure and claim matches the source
    5. 05Chase down and fix the drifts, under deadline
    6. 06Release across channels — hoping nothing slipped

    Where it breaks: The bottleneck is reconciliation — proving that three language versions say exactly the same material thing, in the right voice, before a hard deadline.

    Stage 3 · Design

    The agentic workflow

    We build it as an evaluator-optimizer loop: the agent drafts each localized version against your brand-voice guide, then a checker compares it back to the approved source — every figure, every material claim, the tone — and the drafter revises until it passes. Anything it can't resolve is flagged for a human, and nothing publishes without sign-off.

    An approved message + your brand guide
    1Take the approved source + your brand guide + key facts
    2Draft the localized version in each language
    3Check it back against the source — figures, claims, tone

    Re-drafts until every figure, claim and the brand voice pass the consistency check — otherwise it flags a human.

    4Revise until every material point matches and the voice holds
    5Route to your comms/IR lead with drift flags for sign-off
    Your comms/IR lead reviews the flags and signs off

    Watch a case flow through the agent — it does the reading and matching; a human still makes the decision.

    Source (English, approved)

    The Group recorded revenue of RM 1.42 billion for FY2025, up 11% year-on-year, and declared a final dividend of 3.5 sen per share.

    Localised — checked & flagged

    • BM + Chinese drafted in your brand voice
    • ✓ RM 1.42b · +11% YoY · 3.5 sen — identical across all three
    • ⚠ BM draft called the dividend 'istimewa' (special) — source says 'final' · flagged for a human
    3 language versions · every figure matched · 1 wording flag

    Nothing publishes until your IR lead signs off · every figure checked back against the approved source · ~RM 2–8 in AI cost.

    Step by step

    1. 1

      Take the approved source

      The agent starts only from the message you've already approved — plus your brand-voice guide, your approved glossary, and the key facts. It never invents the source; it localizes what's signed off.

    2. 2

      Draft in each language

      It writes the English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese versions in your house voice — not a literal word-for-word translation, but the same message said the way your brand says it in that language.

    3. 3

      Check every figure and claim back to source

      A separate checker extracts every number, date and material claim from the source and from each draft, and diffs them. A figure that reads differently, a claim that's softened or added, a dividend labelled differently — all surfaced, not buried.

    4. 4

      Revise until it passes

      Where the check fails, the drafter revises and re-checks. It loops until every material point matches the source and the brand voice holds — or, if it can't resolve something, it stops and flags it.

    5. 5

      Route for human sign-off

      It hands your comms or IR lead the set of versions with any drift flags called out — so review is minutes on the exceptions, not a full re-read of every language.

    6. 6

      Release, logged

      Once signed off, the versions go out through your channels — and every draft, check and flag is logged, so any released version can be reconstructed and audited later.

    How we build it with Claude

    Gather contextthe approved source + your brand guide & glossary
    Take actiondraft each language version (MCP tools)
    Verify workcheck every figure, claim & the voice back to source

    Because it drafts against your brand-voice guide and checks every version back to the approved source, it can't quietly introduce a new claim or a different number — and because a human signs off on the flags, the agent never releases anything on its own. Every version, every check and every flag is logged for audit.

    Integrations

    • Your brand-voice / tone-of-voice guide + approved glossary
    • Your CMS, IR portal or newswire (exchange filing, press)
    • Internal channels (email, intranet, Slack / Teams)
    • Optional: your translation memory

    Under the hood

    • Pattern: an evaluator-optimizer loop on the Claude Agent SDK — a drafter and a checker, each tool exposed via an in-process MCP server.
    • Context: your brand-voice guide, approved glossary and the source message are loaded each turn and prompt-cached, so drafts stay on-voice and on-terminology.
    • Tools: read-only source + glossary lookups, a per-language drafter, and a consistency-checker that extracts every figure and material claim from source and draft and diffs them.
    • Guardrails: it can't mark a version 'ready' until every figure and material claim matches the source; it never publishes — it routes to a human sign-off queue; least-privilege access to your CMS/newswire.
    • Untrusted input: any external copy pulled in (analyst text, prior coverage) is treated as untrusted and prompt-injection resistant; personal data in staff comms handled PDPA/PDPC-aligned.
    • Recovery: on an unresolved drift it stops and flags for a human — never a silent mis-statement or a version released unchecked.
    • Observability: every draft, check and flag is logged and traceable, so any released version can be reconstructed and audited.
    • Eval harness: a golden set of your past announcements — including the tricky, price-sensitive ones — regression-tested on every change before it touches a live release.

    Stage 5 · Architect

    Single model or multi-agent?

    Two roles, one loopOur pick here

    Drafting on-voice and checking for consistency are different jobs, so we split them into a drafter and a checker — but it's still one tight loop over a single approved message, not a sprawling multi-agent system.

    We reserve heavy multi-agent designs (≈15× the tokens) for genuinely parallel work — a single announcement is a focused draft-and-check loop.

    Which model does what

    Draft the localized version on-voice

    Reliable, on-brand writing across languages — not literal translation.

    Stage 6 · Evaluate

    How we measure success

    • Deterministic checks first — every figure in the source appears, identical, in each version
    • Self-verification — the checker diffs each draft's material claims against the source before it's marked ready
    • Business KPIs — reconciliation time saved, drifts caught before release, and zero inconsistent disclosures

    We score the agent with the Agent GPA framework — Goal, Plan, Action, a current standard for agent reliability — on top of your human review baseline. (reference)

    Setting the baseline

    First we measure your current process on a sample of past announcements — how long localization and reconciliation take, and how many drifts (a figure, a claim, a tone slip) reach a human late. That baseline is what every agent metric is measured against, so the lift is provable rather than assumed.

    The go-live gate

    The agent doesn't mark a version ready for sign-off until it matches the source on every figure and material claim and clears these GPA targets on a golden set of your past announcements. A human always signs off before release.

    Stage 7 · Deliver

    How we'd deliver it

    We start with a proof-of-concept on your real past announcements, pilot it on one message type — say internal comms — with your comms lead reviewing every version, then extend to IR and press. A focused rollout is a matter of weeks.

    Frequently asked questions

    Does it replace our translators or comms team?
    No. It does the first draft and the consistency check, and it flags what needs a human eye — your team reviews and signs off. It removes the reconciliation grind, not the judgment.
    How does it keep our brand voice?
    We load your tone-of-voice guide and a set of past approved messages, and the agent both drafts and self-checks against them. Voice is scored on every version before a human sees it — so it reads like your brand in each language, not like a translation.
    Is it safe for price-sensitive or disclosure material?
    It's built for exactly that: every figure and material claim is checked back to the approved source, nothing publishes on its own, and every version is logged for audit. It supports your disclosure process as a control — it doesn't replace your advisers' or board's judgment on what to disclose.
    Which languages does it handle?
    English, Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese out of the box, and we can add others. It also holds your approved glossary, so regulated and brand terms are translated consistently every time.
