# peer-bank-tech-intel
The "what are peers actually doing?" skill. Banks rarely share details publicly, but enough information leaks through engineering blogs, conference talks, public open-source contributions, and named-analyst case studies to triangulate posture.
## When to use
- Exec or board question: "what are JPMorgan / Goldman / etc. doing on AI coding?"
- Posture review: is the bank ahead, on pace, or behind peers on a specific capability?
- Vendor selection: which peers have publicly adopted vendor X — and what did they say afterward?
- Annual peer-bank posture summary.
## When NOT to use
- Specific vendor evaluation → `vendor-security-eval`.
- Specific Copilot question → `copilot-faq-answerer`.
- Confidential / non-public peer intelligence — out of scope, do not source from non-public material.
## Obsidian-first workflow (mandatory)
1. **Query the vault first** via `vault-querier`:
- Full-text search the peer's name and the capability's key terms across `vault/research/peer-bank/**`, relevant `vault/facts/**` entities (per-bank entities where they exist), `vault/insights/**` (conference-talk notes often carry peer-bank signals), and recent `vault/digests/**` (last 90 days).
- Backlink check on the peer-bank entity (e.g. `[[jpmorgan]]`, `[[capital-one]]`) and the capability's entities.
2. **Triage findings**:
- If the vault answers the question fully → return the existing answer with source citations (vault path + original source URLs). No new write.
