Abstract
Delivery of apt financial advice to the public has become a high priority in developed countries due to the increased complexity of personal finance. Using the theory of professionalisation and qualitative interviews, we investigate the common barriers that three apex financial planning professional bodies encounter as they create a jurisdiction for Certified Financial Planners ® (CFP). We show that a sales orientation, commission-based remuneration, membership entrenchment with financial product providers and other stakeholder lobbying impede the professional bodies’ progress. However, governmental willingness to regulate financial advice, coupled with technological advances, may enable professionalisation. Our article adds to research on the professionalisation of financial planning and offers practical insights into how other bodies around the world can progress CFP’s jurisdiction. Our research differs from the published work on other professions because it is happening even as we write. JEL Classification: J44, L84, K23

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
