Price and Value Under Consumer Duty: Building a Defensible Charging and Service Evidence Framework
A board-ready framework that links charging models to delivered service evidence and remediation governance.

Why this matters for advisory firms
This paper is designed for firms that need recommendations to be commercially viable, operationally repeatable and defensible under regulatory scrutiny. It focuses on how evidence quality, process discipline and decision transparency combine to improve both client outcomes and supervisory confidence.
The objective is practical execution rather than theory alone: you can use the framework to tighten suitability consistency, reduce remediation overhead and improve how technical decisions are explained to clients, compliance teams and senior management.
