1. LifeARC Platform Unveiled
Abacus introduced LifeARC, an AI-driven lifespan modeling engine leveraging two decades of proprietary client health and financial data.

4. Competitive Moat and Future Outlook
With a proprietary dataset that grows more accurate with each new profile, LifeARC establishes a defensible technology moat. Abacus plans further alliances with major private wealth firms, aiming to become the intelligence layer underpinning retirement planning and driving long-term revenue growth.
