Evidence first. Resolution second. Action with clarity.
The process is designed to keep facts, inferences, unknowns, and decisions separate.
Identify
Locate a specific government financial event in an official source and preserve the record, URL, retrieval date, and method.
Resolve
Compare the payee to current and historical corporate identity evidence, recording relationships only when supported by a source.
Map custody
Document what the source says about status and custody, then separate a process reference from record-level proof of recoverability.
Deliver
Produce a scoped dossier with evidence, contradictions, open questions, estimated effort, and the next appropriate decision.
Every finding carries a confidence label.
VERIFIED
Directly supported by a captured source or reviewed record.
INFERRED
A reasoned connection that requires confirmation before reliance.
UNKNOWN
Not established by available evidence.
NEEDS REVIEW
Blocked by a legal, custody, identity, privacy, or scope question.
