Frequently Asked Questions
How is the readiness score calculated?+
The score is an average of five dimensions: KYC completeness, tax compliance, banking validity, payment method compatibility, and sanctions risk.
Can I customize the scoring logic?+
This version uses a standard readiness model so your AP or finance ops team spots blockers quickly. Use the score as a starting point, then layer in your internal policies.
Does this replace formal sanctions screening?+
No. Flag onboarding gaps early here, then run your formal sanctions and compliance controls before release.
What if my vendor uses multiple payout methods?+
Run the scorecard for each payout method to identify compatibility risks.
How should I use this readiness score?+
Treat it as an operational scorecard for reducing payout delays, not a replacement for your compliance program.
