The wedge
What we automate
- Document chase, verification prep, evidence assembly.
- Exception routing with policy gates.
What we do not do
- Replace AML programs or compliance officers.
- Make irreversible adverse actions without human approval.
Market & buyer
ICP: PayFac and embedded payments onboarding ops leads and compliance owners.
- Reduce doc chase time and improve conversion.
- Meet audit expectations with standardized evidence packets.
Why now
- Agentic workflows make long-running ops automation viable.
- Labor constraints and audit pressure are rising.
- Vendors verify identity, but ops loops remain manual.
Business model & unit economics
- Target ACV: $30k-$120k mid-market, $150k+ enterprise (hypothetical).
- Expansion via UBO KYC, adverse media, and refresh workflows.
GTM plan
