What it evaluates
A pre-assessment uses information available early in the pipeline rather than waiting for a complete onboarding file.
- Geography and operating markets
- Industry, MCC or NAICS classification
- Internal risk categories and optional external signals
What the result should contain
A usable result combines a simple outcome with an explanation. A score without a reason creates a black box; a reason without a next step does not help sales prioritize.
What it does not replace
Pre-assessment does not replace legal advice, customer due diligence, KYC, KYB, sanctions match review, ongoing monitoring or a final decision by the responsible compliance team.
