Neuro-Symbolic Financial Reasoning via Deterministic Fact Ledgers and Adversarial Low-Latency Hallucination Detector
Standard Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures fail in high-stakes financial domains due to two fundamental limitations: the inherent arithmetic incompetence of Large Language Models (LLMs) and the distributional semantic conflation of dense vector retrieval (e.g., mapping "Net Income" to "Net Sales" due to contextual proximity). In deterministic domains, a 99% accuracy rate yields 0% operational trust. To achieve zero-hallucination financial reasoning, we introduce the Verifiable Numerical Reasoning Agent (VeNRA). VeNRA shifts the RAG paradigm from retrieving probabilistic text to retrieving deterministic variables via a strictly typed Universal Fact Ledger (UFL). We mathematically bound this ledger using a novel Double-Lock Grounding algorithm. Coupled with deterministic Python execution, this neuro-symbolic routing compresses systemic hallucination rates to a near-zero 1.2%. Recognising that upstream parsing anomalies inevitably occur, we introduce the VeNRA Sentinel: a 3-billion parameter SLM trained to forensically audit candidate using a single-token inference budget with optional post-hoc reasoning. To train the Sentinel, we steer away from traditional hallucination datasets in favour of Adversarial Simulation, programmatically sabotaging financial records to simulate Ecological Errors. The compact Sentinel consequently outperforms 70B+ frontier models in error detection. Through Loss Dilution phenomenon in Reverse-CoT training, we present a novel Micro-Chunking loss algorithm to stabilise gradients under extreme verdict penalisation, yielding a 28x latency speedup without sacrificing forensic rigor.
