A Mutual Funds or UCITS firm that accepts the AI's characterisation of quantification as encouraged — rather than explicitly not expected — risks building that standard into its fair value assessment methodology, its product oversight and governance (POG) framework, and the supporting documentation provided to the board or to an independent director with Consumer Duty oversight responsibility. If the FCA reviews that documentation and finds the firm has imposed on itself a higher standard than the rule requires, the immediate operational problem is remediation cost; but where the methodology has also been communicated to distribution partners or reflected in pre-contractual disclosures, the scope of correction widens materially. The FCA's powers under the Consumer Duty include requiring a firm to undertake past business reviews and, where client detriment is identified, to pay redress — consequences that would not arise if the firm had simply read the rule as written.
