W-9 and W-8 Validation demo
Every vendor paid on a valid form, every treaty rate signed before the money leaves. 1:31
What the demo shows
Validates vendor W-9/W-8 forms, TINs and treaty claims before the first payment
Each W-9 or W-8 is drawn field by field, and every field runs a row of checkpoints: read and signed, our records, IRS and registry, treaty and rate, how we pay, expiry. Seven agents own one kind of evidence each, check each other and explain in a thread with citations; the payment control agent turns a failed checkpoint into an exact hold, and the outreach agent drafts the request to the vendor. A tax analyst approves, edits or rejects with a reason code and signs each treaty rate. B-notices, W-8 renewals, backup withholding and year-end readiness run on the same evidence.
