What the demo shows
Validates investor W-8, W-9 and CRS self-certifications against each other and the KYC file
The contradiction map sets three documents side by side: the W-8BEN-E, the CRS self-certification and the KYC file. Lines join the fields that must agree (entity status, tax residence, address, controlling persons, signer); agreements are gray and contradictions red, each with a one-line reason and its source. Seven agents do the work: the Intake agent matches every form to its account, the Form reader reads each one in its own language with a second independent read, the Form rules agent checks it against its own rules, the Cross-check agent compares the forms with each other and the KYC file and explains each contradiction, the Indicia agent re-checks every KYC change, the Cure agent drafts one letter per investor in two languages and runs its 90-day clock, and the Reporting agent rehearses every FATCA and CRS report. An analyst prepares each resolution, a checker approves every letter, and the head of fund tax signs every reclassification.
Transcript
- FATCA/CRS Self-Certification checks every investor's tax forms against each other in the KYC file.
- Tax teams need it, a regulator find a firm whose clients' forms disagreed.
- Kestrel Ridge, three documents side by side, joined where they must agree.
- The W-8BEN-E says sponsored FFI, GI and confirmed.
- The Spanish CRS form says passive NFE.
- The KYC file adds a Madrid address, a Spain indicium.
- A second read agreed.
- Every red line cites its source.
- One cure letter covers all three, in English and Spanish, on a 90-day clock.
- Marcus, the checker, approves it with a reason code.
- Agents also watch every KYC change and rehearse next year's reports.
- every value cited, every decision signed, every step logged.
- The result, no conflicting classification on file, one letter per investor.
- Built on Botminds: agents, data, screens, and governance on one platform.
