Notes

Financial services has the least developed domain-specific vocabulary for the sycophancy phenomenon. The sector uses general "model risk management" and "model validation" terminology. Treasury released an "AI Lexicon" to standardize terminology, but it focuses on governance terms not behavioral AI characteristics. No financial-services-specific equivalent of "sycophancy" was found.
