FAQs
How monthly is often enough?
For suppliers with active contracts, monthly is a practical baseline, while critical partners may need weekly checks.
Do we need alerts if data doesn’t change?
Yes. A zero-change monitor is still useful because it confirms continuity across a full period.
What should be reviewed manually?
Anything with status changes, missing filings, late filings, or director turnover spikes.
Can we reuse this for customers?
Absolutely. The same framework works for both supplier onboarding and customer verification.
