Compliance Decision Intelligence

One decision, several kinds of evidence — how the pieces actually fit together

Sanctions screening, export-control classification, and entity intelligence aren't separate tools bolted together after the fact — they're evaluated together against one document, into one evidenced decision.

The problem with siloed tools

A common failure mode in compliance tooling is a stack of separate point solutions — one for sanctions screening, another for HS classification, another for entity/ownership lookups — that a compliance officer has to run independently and reconcile by hand. Each tool's output is internally consistent, but nothing forces the overall picture to add up, and the reconciliation work is exactly the slow, error-prone step automation was supposed to remove.

Veredis's approach: one document, one evidenced decision

Veredis evaluates a trade document's extracted facts against sanctions, export-control, and entity/ownership intelligence together, as inputs to a single deterministic decision — not as separate reports a reviewer has to cross-reference themselves. Entity resolution (who is this counterparty, who owns it, is it the same entity a sanctions list actually names) underpins both the sanctions and the export-control checks, rather than being run as a disconnected fourth tool.

Entity and registry intelligence — legal entity identifiers, corporate ownership structure, official company-registry data — is sourced from a governed intelligence layer with its own versioning and provenance, separate from the live, transaction-time signals Veredis queries directly. See Intelligence Sourcing & Data Boundary for exactly where that line sits.

The evidence model

  • A single decision record referencing every signal that contributed to it — sanctions, classification, entity resolution — not separate unreconciled reports
  • Source versions and provenance recorded per signal, so it's clear which came from governed registry intelligence versus a live, transaction-time query
  • An explicit overall decision state, plus the per-check states that composed it
  • A cryptographically signed dossier covering the whole decision, not just one component of it

Where the limitations are

Combining signals into one decision is only as good as the weakest signal feeding it — if entity resolution is uncertain, that uncertainty propagates honestly into the overall decision state rather than being smoothed over by a confident-looking downstream verdict. Veredis is built to surface that propagation explicitly, not to hide it behind a single score.
