Ask Consult
Consult reads this help center as well as your book. Ask it in your own words, like “why didn’t it trade today?” or “where do I raise the approval threshold?”. It answers from these articles with numbered citations you can open. It cannot trade or change a setting; anything it suggests becomes a card you confirm.
