Resources

Whitepapers, regulatory guides, and references.

Documentation for foundation counsel, compliance officers, and grantee operations leads. Six deep pieces are public; the full six-document specification set is shared with foundations and fiduciaries on engagement.

In plain English

What is this?

The actual writing under the platform. Six deep references covering: how big the charitable-fraud problem is, how the IRS equivalency rule works, how the bad-actor registry's due process functions, how we map to FATF Recommendation 24, the five-jurisdiction comparison, and the full 148-check decomposition.

How does it affect me?

If your general counsel is evaluating us, this is the page they'll spend an hour on. If you're a compliance officer, the FATF and ED documents map directly to your bank-letter requirements. If you're just curious how the platform actually thinks, start with the loss-rate whitepaper.

Does it help me?

We publish the methodology so it's auditable, not so it's copyable. A foundation evaluating us shouldn't have to take our marketing claims on faith. Read the whitepaper, push back on the assumptions, then talk to us. That's the right order.
