How it works

80+ intelligent agents coordinate across 20 waves through 8 protocols: connect your data, run deterministic tests, apply evidence-sealed corrections, file with deadline tracking, and seal every action for posterity.

  1. ConnectCensus agents pull payroll via Finch and 30+ integrations. One source of truth, automatically reconciled.
  2. Test12 compliance agents run ADP/ACP, top-heavy, coverage, 415, and 401(a)(4). Deterministic and replayable.
  3. CorrectEPCRS agents evaluate SCP, VCP, and Audit CAP paths. Corrections include lost earnings. Evidence-sealed.
  4. FileFiling agents assemble 5500, 1099-R, 8955-SSA, and 5330. EFAST2 submission with deadline tracking.
  5. EvidenceEvery action sealed with cryptographic hash. Complete chain of custody. Defensible years later.

An Agent Network, Not a Feature List

Every service is powered by specialized agents that discover, coordinate, and execute through standardized protocols. One data mesh, one audit trail, complete autonomy.

The difference is clear

See how ARCNAT transforms retirement plan administration from stressful to seamless.

Manual spreadsheet testing

One formula error = plan disqualification risk. Hours of manual ADP/ACP calculations.

40+ hours per plan year

Filing calendar in Excel

$250/day late penalty for Form 5500. One missed PBGC premium = personal liability.

15% missed deadline rate

Email chains and CSV files

3-week collection cycle

Manual RMD tracking

25% excise tax on missed distributions. Participant lawsuits for late or incorrect RMDs.

25% excise tax risk

Failures discovered at year-end

VCP submission = $3,500+ user fee + 6-month IRS queue. Missed self-correction window.

$3,500+ per VCP submission

Monthly reconciliation lag

Late contribution exposure. DOL penalty risk. No visibility until statement arrives.

30-day blind spot

Sound familiar? There's a better way.

One source of truth via MCP data mesh — every agent accesses the same dataDeterministic compliance via 12 specialized testing agentsReal-time agent streaming via AG-UI — see every calculation as it happensNatural language orchestration via AGORA — ask the system anything in plain EnglishEvidence-sealed audit trail with cryptographic chain of custody
  1. Census agents ingest data from recordkeepers, payroll systems, and plan sponsors via the MCP data mesh. Eclipse LMOS handles transport variance — REST, SFTP, SOAP — same agent logic, different adapter. Single source of truth, automatically reconciled.
  2. 12 compliance agents execute in dependency order: HCE Determination first, then ADP/ACP, coverage, top-heavy, 415, 401(a)(4). Results stream to your screen via AG-UI. Test Projection Agent runs mid-year simulations using live payroll data.
  3. Failure Detection Agent flags errors in real-time. EPCRS Strategy Agent evaluates SCP, VCP, and Audit CAP paths. Correction Calculation Agent computes QNEC, lost earnings, and refund amounts. Self-correct within 9.5 months for zero cost.
  4. 5500 Assembly Agent pre-populates from evidence-sealed data. 1099-R Agent captures distributions year-round. Filing Calendar Agent tracks every deadline. EFAST2 submission, IRS FIRE filing, and state filings — coordinated by the Filing Orchestrator.
  5. Evidence Sealing Agent cryptographically seals every compliance test, correction, and filing. SHA-256 hash, time-stamped, tamper-evident. Complete chain of custody defensible in IRS or DOL examination years later.
  6. System Health Agent monitors all 80+ agents across 5 tiers. Plan Health Score Agent synthesizes data quality, compliance posture, and filing status. AGORA answers questions in plain English: 'Which plans are at risk of failing ADP?'

ANP

Agent registry, discovery, and health monitoring

AG-UI

Real-time agent streaming to every user interface

AGORA

OASF

Agent capability publication and marketplace

Our Vision

To build the operating standard for autonomous retirement plan administration — where every compliance test is deterministic, every correction is evidence-sealed, every filing is deadline-guaranteed, and every fiduciary action is defensible in perpetuity.

Deterministic Precision

Every calculation is replayable. Every result is verifiable. No approximations, no manual overrides, no ambiguity.

Fiduciary-Grade Trust

Every agent action is bounded by plan document authority, sealed with cryptographic evidence, and auditable by any examiner.

Autonomous Excellence

80+ intelligent agents across 20 waves that never miss a deadline, never forget a SECURE 2.0 provision, and never stop watching your plan book.

Why it matters

Every plan is someone's retirement

Behind every ADP test is a person counting on that 401(k). Our agents treat every calculation as if a family's security depends on it — because it does.

Compliance failures have real consequences

A missed RMD is a 25% excise tax. A late 5500 is $250/day. An operational failure can mean plan disqualification. Our agents prevent failures before they occur.

Your expertise should drive growth, not administration

The average TPA spends 60% of staff time on routine administration. ARCNAT's agent network handles the routine, so your team handles the complex, high-value work that builds client relationships.

SECURE 2.0 deadlines don't wait

50+ provisions with staggered effective dates through 2029. Auto-enrollment mandates. Roth catch-up changes. LTPT eligibility tracking. Every quarter brings new requirements. ARCNAT's Compliance Agent tracks every provision across every plan — so nothing falls through the cracks while your team focuses on client service.

Agent-Powered Services

Every service is powered by specialized agents that coordinate through standardized protocols.

Plan Administration

Eligibility, vesting, enrollment, and contribution management — powered by Eligibility, Vesting, Match, and Profit Sharing agents that execute continuously.

Compliance Testing

ADP/ACP, top-heavy, coverage, 415, 401(a)(4), and DB testing — 12 specialized compliance agents with the Test Projection Agent for mid-year risk assessment.

See flow
  1. Test
  2. Correct
  3. Audit

Document Management

Plan documents, amendments, restatements, notices — Document and Amendment agents track every SECURE 2.0 provision and every remedial amendment cycle.

Reporting & Analytics

AGORA-powered natural language queries. Ask questions in English, receive charts and narratives. 50+ standard reports plus ad hoc query builder.

Participant Services

Distributions, loans, QDROs, RMDs, force-outs — the Transaction Orchestrator coordinates 8+ agents for every participant transaction.

Deadline Management

Filing Calendar Agent maintains real-time master deadline calendar. Auto-escalation. Zero missed filings across your entire plan book.

Workflow Automation

Event-driven triggers, intelligent task assignment, SLA monitoring — autonomous work orchestration that launches, assigns, and tracks without staff intervention.

Integration Services

30+ integrations via Eclipse LMOS transport-agnostic adapters. Add a new recordkeeper with one adapter — zero changes to business logic.

Consulting & Support

Knowledge Q&A Agent with curated ERISA/IRC knowledge base. Immediate, well-cited answers. Escalation to human experts when needed.

SECURE 2.0: 50+ Provisions, One Compliance Agent

SECURE 2.0 introduced the most significant retirement plan legislation since PPA 2006. Over 50 provisions with staggered effective dates through 2029. Most TPA firms are tracking these in spreadsheets. ARCNAT tracks them autonomously.

Real-Time Compliance Matrix

The SECURE 2.0 Compliance Agent maintains a live compliance matrix for every plan in your book. Every provision, every effective date, every required action — tracked and surfaced automatically.

Automatic Amendment Routing

When a provision reaches its effective date, the Amendment Agent identifies affected plans, drafts the amendment language, creates projects with deadlines, and routes to the Document Orchestrator — before you even check.

Operational Gap Detection

Plans that haven't implemented required provisions (auto-enrollment mandates, Roth catch-up for HCEs earning $145K+, LTPT tracking) are flagged and routed to the Failure Detection Agent for correction case creation.

What you can expect

Compliance Certainty

Every test is deterministic. Every correction is evidence-sealed. When the DOL examiner arrives, your audit trail is a cryptographically-verified, time-stamped record of every action.

80% Administrative Time Reduction

Census collection in 3 days instead of 3 weeks. Compliance testing in 2 hours instead of 40. Form 5500 assembly is 90% complete before plan year ends.

Proactive Risk Prevention

The Failure Detection Agent catches operational errors within the payroll period. Self-correct within 9.5 months for zero cost — versus a $3,500+ VCP submission.

Scale Without Proportional Headcount

Add 50 plans to your book without adding staff. Agents handle the routine volume; your team handles the relationships and complex cases.

Institutional Knowledge That Never Leaves

The Knowledge Q&A Agent has your firm's accumulated expertise. Staff turnover doesn't mean knowledge loss.

Real-Time Visibility via AG-UI

Sponsors see agent work streaming live. Staff see every agent's action in real time. Auditors see a sealed, tamper-evident timeline.

Who we serve

TPA Firms Managing 25–500+ Plans

Whether you're a 5-person shop or a 200-person firm, ARCNAT's agent network scales to your book. 3(16) fiduciary services tier available for firms that need autonomous fiduciary execution.

RIAs and Broker-Dealers

Offer your advisory clients a compliance-first administration platform that complements your investment capabilities and strengthens your value proposition.

Employers with Fiduciary Obligations

See your plan's compliance status, census data quality, and filing deadlines in real-time through the sponsor portal. AGORA-powered assistant surfaces what matters now.

Firms Under Regulatory Scrutiny

DOL investigations, IRS audits, and PBGC examinations require defensible records. ARCNAT's evidence-sealed audit trail is the strongest defensible record in the industry.

Plan Document Firms & Bundled Providers

Firms that provide documents and administration as a combined service need seamless version lineage, amendment tracking, and restatement cycle management. ARCNAT's Document Intelligence agents handle adoption agreements, SPDs, and SECURE 2.0 amendments with full provenance — so your documents are always in sync with your operations.

Built for firms that carry real responsibility

Every TPA firm is different. We map the agent topology to your specific plan book, your compliance complexity, and your service model.

Zero-Risk Migration

Switching platforms is not abandoning software — it's risking years of regulatory history. We built four safeguards so you never have to choose between moving forward and protecting what you've built.

Historical Data Vault

Bring your entire regulatory history — 5, 10, 20 years of prior filings, test results, corrections, and distributions. Imported from PensionPro, ftwilliam, ASC, Relius, or manual records. Every record validated, sealed, and available for audit response.

Parallel Run Mode

Run ARCNAT alongside your current system for a full plan cycle. Compare every compliance test result, every 5500 draft, every calculation. Promote to live only when you're satisfied — with a sealed Zero-Loss Validation Report as proof.

Migration Continuity Proof

The system automatically generates a sealed evidence bundle proving zero data loss between your prior system and ARCNAT. Last vault snapshot compared to first active snapshot — every participant, every dollar accounted for.

Full Data Portability

Export your complete plan data at any time in open, non-proprietary formats (CSV, JSON, PDF). Automated periodic escrow to your own storage. If you ever decide to leave, you leave with everything. No lock-in, ever.

Why Static TPA Software Falls Short

Traditional TPA software was built for a world with 5 compliance tests and 1 filing deadline. Today you face 50+ SECURE 2.0 provisions, 12+ compliance tests per plan, a regulatory environment that changes quarterly, and filing seasons that require 50 concurrent filings converging on the same deadline window.

Static software requires staff to remember what to do and when. An autonomous operating system does the remembering, the testing, the correcting, and the filing — while your team does the thinking. It handles 50-plan filing seasons with batch orchestration, SLA heatmaps, and automatic capacity planning. It monitors every integration connector for silent failures. It calculates PBGC premiums and IRC §430 funding obligations for your DB plans.

The question is not which TPA software to buy. The question is whether your firm operates with software or with an operating system.

Built on trust

Zero-Trust Architecture

Multi-tenant isolation. AES-256-GCM encryption. RBAC/ABAC policy engine. Every agent request permissioned through the MCP layer.

Cryptographic Evidence Sealing

Every compliance test, every distribution, every filing — cryptographically sealed with SHA-256 hash, time-stamped, and stored in tamper-evident ledger.

Agent Health Monitoring

System Health Agent monitors all 80+ agents across 5 tiers. Auto-recovery. Degraded service detection. Post-incident review.

AGORA Natural Language Intelligence

Ask any question about your plan book in plain English. Receive charts, tables, and narratives synthesized from real-time agent data.

Fiduciary Boundary Enforcement

Every agent action that constitutes a fiduciary act is pre-authorized against the plan's fiduciary authority matrix. No agent exceeds its authority.

Protocol-Native Architecture

8 interoperability protocols (MCP, A2A, ANP, AG-UI, AGORA, Eclipse LMOS, AP2, OASF) — not features bolted onto a legacy system.

Your Plan Book Deserves an Operating System

Every filing season, your team manually coordinates 50+ concurrent filings against the same deadline window. Every SECURE 2.0 provision adds another spreadsheet row to track. Every staff departure takes institutional knowledge with it. Every audit request triggers weeks of document assembly. This is the cost of operating with static software in a 2026 regulatory environment.

ARCNAT replaces PensionPro + ftwilliam + ASC/Relius with a single operating system — and it brings your entire regulatory history with it through the Historical Data Vault. No data left behind. No parallel systems to maintain. No lock-in.

We provide architecture briefs, not sales pitches. We'll walk you through the agent topology, protocol stack, and how it maps to your specific plan book — including a migration assessment for your current systems.
