| 19 | +# London Stock Exchange Group Powers Market Surveillance with Instructor |

| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Production Impact at Scale |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +LSEG processes over £1 trillion of securities annually from 400 members, requiring sophisticated market abuse detection systems. Their new AI-powered "Surveillance Guide" uses Instructor to integrate with Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.5 model through Amazon Bedrock. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +## Remarkable Results |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +The system achieved exceptional performance metrics: |
| 32 | +- **100% precision** in identifying non-sensitive news |
| 33 | +- **100% recall** for detecting price-sensitive content |
| 34 | +- Automated analysis of 250,000+ regulatory news articles |
| 35 | +- Significant reduction in manual analyst workload |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +## Technical Architecture |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +LSEG's implementation leverages Instructor's structured output capabilities in their technical stack: |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +- **Instructor library**: Seamless integration with Claude Sonnet 3.5 |
| 42 | +- **Amazon Bedrock**: Scalable foundation model infrastructure |
| 43 | +- **Custom Python pipelines**: Data processing and analysis |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +The system processes regulatory news through a two-step classification approach, using Instructor to ensure reliable, structured responses from the LLM for downstream analysis. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Why This Matters |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +This production deployment showcases Instructor being used where accuracy and reliability are paramount - financial regulatory compliance. The system helps analysts efficiently review trades flagged for potential market abuse by automatically analyzing news sensitivity and market impact. |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +As Charles Kellaway from LSEG noted, the solution transforms market surveillance operations by reducing manual review time while improving consistency in price-sensitivity assessment. |
