MeshQu turns your EDD requirements into explicit rules: what must be established, what evidence shows it and who may decide. People ratify the rules before use. Each recorded assessment is tied to the policy version in force. The rules remain your organisation’s: MeshQu does not interpret regulation for you or replace your screening, KYC or data providers.","explanation":"EDD requirements arrive as regulation, internal risk policy and jurisdiction-specific rules, and analysts apply them case by case. Your own agent can draft the rules from the source material; people review and ratify them before they are used on a case. Screening, registry, document and customer data stay with the providers and systems you use, and MeshQu links what each check needs by reference and digital fingerprint. System checks, agents and manual checks can run against the same rules. Where a finding needs interpretation, the analyst’s rationale and the role they acted in are recorded with the case, as your systems record them. Authority is whoever your policy assigns, such as an analyst, a senior reviewer, the MLRO or a delegated approver, and the outcome can be to approve, reject, escalate or request further evidence. Each recorded assessment has a signed Decision Receipt. The receipt stays tied to the state at decision time, and a later periodic review is its own linked record, so the history shows what was decided then and what has changed since.","applications":[{"value":"Make what must be established for a higher-risk customer, the evidence that shows it and who may decide explicit before cases are worked."},{"value":"Keep analyst judgement, escalations and the final approval as linked records beside each assessment."},{"value":"Answer a periodic review or a regulator’s question from the policy version and evidence references used at decision time."}],"limitations":[{"value":"Screening, registry, document and customer data stay with your providers.
