Determine when a product, platform, or communication crosses the regulatory line from education into investment advice requiring investment adviser registration. Use when the user asks about the definition of investment advice under Advisers Act Section 202(a)(11), whether a fintech feature or AI chatbot constitutes advice, the publisher's exclusion for newsletters or model portfolios, the broker-dealer solely incidental exclusion, adviser registration thresholds and exemptions, or DOL education vs advice safe harbors. Also trigger when users ask 'do I need to register as an investment adviser', 'does this app give investment advice', 'is this tool just education or advice', 'robo-adviser registration', or 'disclaimer language for financial content'. (For what triggers a 'recommendation' under Reg BI, use reg-bi.)
