What do you want to find out?

Natural language is mapped to bounded SEC/IARD and Form ADV research. Registration is not endorsement, and missing evidence is not a clean history.

We interpreted your question as

Research task: firm discovery
Firm class: RIA + ERA (separate classes)
office state: MD — APPLIED

Natural-language parsing and regulatory execution stay separate. Change the question and resubmit.
