Most n8n agent builds are a sales bot wearing a finance costume. Scrape, draft, book. Useful for a pipeline. Useless for a thesis.
An analyst does not need an agent that talks. They need one that watches sources, tells them when an assumption is drifting, and stays quiet until something actually crosses a line.
Here is the version that earns its place. n8n watches, you judge:
1. Monitor: one trigger per trusted source. Filings, 8-Ks, transcripts, the specific data series your thesis depends on. Deduped and timestamped. 2. Track drift: write your assumptions down, map each live input to one, set the threshold that would actually matter, and flag the assumption when an input crosses it. 3. Flag exceptions: it surfaces only what crossed a line you set. Each flag carries the source, the assumption it hits, and the date. Silence is information too.
Why it matters: the moment you ask the agent "is the thesis still good," you have handed it the one job it should never have. It will write a confident verdict, you will trust the sentence, and the judgment that is supposed to be yours quietly leaves the room.
So the workflow ends at a routed exception, never a recommendation. You read the flag. You decide.
n8n builds the watch. You own the thesis.
Save this and map it to your own thesis before you wire a single node.
