Vendor Risk KYC Screening

Workflow

Use search and extract for source-grounded vendor, merchant, supplier, counterparty, and KYC research; use map or crawl only for known official directories or registries. Treat this as research support, not a final compliance determination. Execution mechanics should come from companion endpoint skills.

Treat the guidance below as base guidance; adapt it to the user's request when appropriate.

• Identify the entity, aliases, parent/subsidiaries, executives, jurisdictions, products, and risk categories.
• Break the screen into short subqueries under 400 characters for each alias and risk type: sanctions, enforcement, litigation, regulatory warning, recall, adverse media, cybersecurity incident, supplier risk, and jurisdiction.
• Use exact-match style queries for legal names, people, product names, and phrases that must appear verbatim.
• Search first, then filter by domain trust and source type before extracting. Prioritize official regulators, sanctions lists, court records, recall databases, company disclosures, and credible news.
• Extract selected sources that can support or rule out specific findings.
• Use site navigation only when a known regulator, registry, or company site needs URL discovery.
• Collect multiple pages only for scoped official directories, recalls/advisories, policy pages, or supplier/product pages.
