Due Diligence & Screening · CounterpartyDD Brief
Build a comprehensive counterparty due diligence brief

What this is not
4S8 works with public sources, your case material, and source-linked analysis to support human review — not to replace legal, compliance, or investigative judgment.
- A structured brief, not a verdict on the counterparty
- Not KYC approval or AML / sanctions clearance
- Not legal advice or a legal determination
- Works on provided material and public-safe sources — no access to your systems
- Gaps and confidence are explicit; unresolved questions stay unresolved
- Human review required before any decision
Frequently asked questions
What does the brief include?
Known facts with source references, categorized risk indicators, open questions, inconsistencies, evidence gaps, and suggested next checks — each with a confidence note.
Is this a compliance or legal clearance?
No. It structures facts and indicators to support human due diligence. It does not provide KYC approval, AML or sanctions clearance, or any legal conclusion.
Can I use my own screening material?
Yes. The brief is built from what you provide — notes, documents, links — combined with public-safe references, with provenance kept visible.
Can I run it on a schedule?
It can be run on demand or set up as a recurring review for counterparties you want to revisit, delivering a refreshed brief for human review each time.
