# JIL Sovereign - Comprehensive AI Reference Document

> JIL Sovereign is **The Payment Integrity Network**, organized around **5 product pillars** that all produce the same deliverable - a **cryptographically sealed, court-admissible verdict record**. The pillars are Pre-Settlement Attestation, Retroactive Settlement Verification, Asset Intelligence, Wallet Intelligence, and the non-custodial Pre-Clearance & Verdict Confirmation Layer. Each pillar runs parts of a 111-check Verdict Engine across 15 signal categories in under 2 seconds. The sealed record is stored in the vendor's own Secure Document Vault (SDV) for a minimum of 15 years, indexed for retrieval by report_id / attestation_id / vendor_id / profile_id / date_completed, and independently verifiable in court without JIL's cooperation. JIL Sovereign Technologies, Inc. is a Delaware C-corporation headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

## THE 5 PILLARS

Every pillar produces the same court-ready verdict record.

### Pillar 1 - Pre-Settlement Attestation

Page: https://jilsovereign.com/products/pre-settlement

Decide before the money moves. YES / NO / REVIEW verdict in under 2 seconds. Custodians (Fireblocks, Anchorage Digital, BitGo, Coinbase Custody, BNY Mellon Digital, State Street Digital), exchanges (Coinbase, Kraken), stablecoin issuers (Circle, Paxos, Ripple), and payment processors gate outbound transfers on the sealed record before releasing funds. Runs 111 checks across 15 signal categories - 69 FWEA checks + 42 WIE wallet intelligence signals. Pricing: 35-90 bps per settlement event, $1 floor.

### Pillar 2 - Retroactive Settlement Verification

Page: https://jilsovereign.com/products/retroactive-verification

Every historical payment, re-verified. 100 million records in 10 to 20 minutes on production infrastructure. 28+ identity dimensions - SSA DMF, state death records, OIG exclusion, SAM debarment, PECOS/NPI, SOS dissolution, license revocations. Addresses the $162B+ federal improper payment problem (GAO FY2024) and the $50-80B annual state Medicaid improper payments. Each finding ships as an independently-sealed verdict. Pricing: 5 bps (shallow) / 15 bps (medium) / 35 bps (deep) per record + optional 1.5-2% recovery kicker.

### Pillar 3 - Asset Intelligence (emerging product line)

Page: https://jilsovereign.com/products/asset-intelligence

Forensic asset investigation layer. Four sub-capabilities:
- **Ava** - natural-language autonomous investigator built on LangGraph. Investigation request in, sealed dossier out.
- **JIL Fabric** - unified on-chain + off-chain fusion (BTC/ETH/SOL/TRX in-house attribution + OpenCorporates + ATTOM Property + CourtListener + OpenSanctions + SEC EDGAR + GLEIF).
- **JIL Reconcile** - disclosure-vs-discovered asset discrepancy engine. New product category. Parses bankruptcy schedules, divorce disclosures, FBARs, officer disclosures, loan applications; emits sealed verdicts on every omission.
- **JIL Guard** - open permissionless pre-settlement interdiction network. Per-call pricing with volume commit tiers. Direct competitor to TRM Beacon.

Buyer segments: bankruptcy trustees, federal receivers, HNW divorce counsel, litigation funders, insurance SIU, Big Four forensic practices, federal investigators (IRS CI, FBI, OFAC, DOJ), exchanges (Guard). Pricing: $5K-$50K flat per investigation, $150K-$750K annual subscriptions, $0.30-$2.00 per Guard API call.

### Pillar 4 - Wallet Intelligence

Page: https://jilsovereign.com/products/wallet-intelligence

42 signals across 6 groups - wallet age & genesis, counterparty contamination (0/1/2/3-hop darknet/ransomware/mixer/state-actor exposure), velocity & pattern, DeFi trust scoring, hidden asset detection, regulatory alignment. Verdict in under 200ms. Consumed by Pillar 1 as part of the 111-check rollup; also available as a standalone API.

### Pillar 5 - Pre-Clearance & Verdict Confirmation Layer (foundational)

Page: https://jilsovereign.com/products/pre-clearance

Non-custodial authorization for institutional digital asset movement, architecturally analogous to the card network authorization layer applied to custody. 70% BFT quorum across 10 geographically distributed validators (expanding to 20-40), Ed25519 + Dilithium-III hybrid signatures. JIL **never** holds keys, **never** moves assets, **never** takes custody. Addresses the $2-3B annual in-transit loss category responsible for Ronin ($625M), BNB Bridge ($570M), Wormhole ($325M), Nomad ($190M), Harmony Horizon ($100M).

## THE SOVEREIGN COMPLIANCE NETWORK (SCN)

Page: https://jilsovereign.com/sovereign-compliance-network

The Sovereign Compliance Network (SCN) is the cryptographic validation fabric underneath every JIL Sovereign attestation, verdict, and court-ready record. Permissioned by design, post-quantum signed at every node, jurisdictionally anchored to the regulated territories it serves. Every SCN validator is a known, credentialed, cryptographically identified, and legally accountable entity. Anonymous participants are not permitted. SCN is the integrity substrate that the 5 pillars sign on; the pillars produce the records, SCN validates and seals them.

### Why Permissioned, Not Permissionless

Regulated finance cannot accept attestations signed by anonymous operators in unknown jurisdictions. Central banks, sovereign wealth funds, qualified custodians, federal program integrity offices, and AmLaw litigation teams need cryptographic proof that every signer is identified, accredited, jurisdictionally anchored, and defensible in court. Public blockchain networks chose permissionless validator sets for credible neutrality in retail token markets. That design cannot satisfy the five institutional requirements SCN is built to: (1) **chain of custody** under FRE 902(14), which requires authentication via a verifiable process and cannot be satisfied by unknown signers; (2) **examiner defensibility** - when a custodian is examined by the OCC, FDIC, NYDFS, FCA, MAS, or BaFin, "an anonymous validator" is not an acceptable answer; (3) **HSM key custody** under documented procedures with audit trails, unenforceable across anonymous operators; (4) **post-quantum signing** at every validator as a condition of admission, impossible to compel on an open set; (5) **jurisdictional control** across explicitly named jurisdictions under explicitly named law, impossible to guarantee on an indeterminate set.

### Validator Credentialing

A SCN validator is not a retail node and not an anonymous staker. Every validator carries:

- **Identity.** Cryptographic identity bound to a named legal entity, registered in the admission registry, independently verifiable at the public verifier endpoint.
- **Jurisdiction.** Documented primary operating jurisdiction, reaffirmed on key rotation. Validator is legally accountable under that jurisdiction's law.
- **HSM key custody.** Ed25519 + Dilithium-III hybrid today, ML-DSA-65 (NIST-finalized) implemented, Kyber KEM in production. Documented generation, rotation, compromise response, and offboarding procedures.
- **Five key types.** Ed25519 (transaction signing), HMAC (internal auth), API keys (service access), SSH (operational access), HSM-backed (highest-sensitivity). Each with its own scope, rotation schedule, and audit trail. Compromise of one does not cascade.
- **Compliance posture.** Sanctions screening of the operating entity, ongoing jurisdictional compliance monitoring, documented incident response.
- **Operational discipline.** Heartbeat monitoring, SentinelAI fleet inspection, cycle enforcement (max three per two-hour window), independent integrity auditing. Failing validators move to standby or are offboarded.
- **Seven-gate secure boot.** A validator that fails any gate does not start. Prevents compromised or misconfigured validators from contributing to quorum.

Three validator categories operate on SCN: **Sovereign validators** (central banks, ministries of finance, financial-authority regulators, approved free-zone authorities - highest credibility and jurisdictional weight, required for Sovereign Stack deployments); **Institutional validators** (qualified custodians, member banks of major settlement networks, licensed insurers, approved MCOs - participate in corridor-specific quorum); **JIL Sovereign validators** (operated by JIL Sovereign Technologies directly, ensure network continuity, enforce admission controls, provide baseline signing capacity across 13+ jurisdictions - today the full operating set of 10 live validators scaling to 20 active + 20 standby).

### 14-of-20 BFT Across 13 Jurisdictions

Every sealed record requires 14-of-20 validator signatures across 13+ jurisdictions. An adversary would need to compromise 14 credentialed validators in 14 distinct legal regimes simultaneously. The 33% capital attack that can halt finality on permissionless networks is architecturally impossible on SCN - quorum is credential-based, not stake-based.

### SCN vs Permissionless L1 - Attribute Comparison

| Attribute | Permissionless L1 | Sovereign Compliance Network |
|---|---|---|
| Validator identity | Anonymous, pseudonymous, or undisclosed | Named legal entity, registered and verifiable |
| Admission | Open, stake-based, no compliance gate | Credentialed, compliance-gated, jurisdictionally anchored |
| Jurisdictional control | Indeterminate, often multi-jurisdictional by accident | Explicit, documented, per-validator |
| HSM key custody | Cannot be enforced across anonymous operators | Required as admission condition, documented |
| Post-quantum signing | Cannot be compelled, inconsistent across set | Required at every validator, enforced |
| FRE 902(14) defensibility | Cannot satisfy authentication | Satisfies FRE 902(14) by design |
| Examiner defensibility | "Who signed this?" cannot be answered definitively | Every signer identified, jurisdictionally bound |
| Stake attack surface | 33% capital attack can halt finality | Architecturally impossible; quorum is credential-based |
| Primary market | Retail token markets, consumer DeFi | Regulated settlement, sovereign infrastructure, institutional compliance |
| Valuation comp set | Public Layer 1s | SWIFT, DTCC, Partior, Fnality, Visa authorization |

### Regulatory Defensibility and Examiner Answers

SCN is designed to the regulatory frameworks customers operate under. Operational today: FRE 702/901 and FRE 902(14) evidentiary admissibility, FATF Travel Rule, BSA, NYDFS Part 500, HIPAA 15+ year retention, OFAC SDN and consolidated sanctions screening, FinCEN SAR/CTR support, SOC 2 and NIST 800-53 control mapping, EU MiCA stablecoin issuer validation, UK FCA authorization checks, CBDC attestation framework support (eCNY, digital euro, mBridge). In audit through 2027: SOC 2 Type II (Q3 2026), ISO 27001 (Q4 2026), ISO 27017 (Q1 2027), NYDFS Part 500, HITRUST CSF. When a qualified custodian, exchange, or bank is examined by OCC, FDIC, NYDFS, FCA, MAS, or BaFin, SCN produces a named, credentialed, jurisdictionally bound signer for every sealed record - an answer the examiner can accept without additional discovery.

### Why the Comparable Set Is SWIFT / DTCC / Partior / Fnality / Visa

The comparable set for SCN is regulated financial infrastructure operating on permissioned, member-based, cryptographically authenticated networks - not public Layer 1s. SWIFT: permissioned messaging, member-only, ~45M messages/day, ~$1.5B annual revenue, never decentralized. DTCC: permissioned settlement clearing ~$2 quadrillion/year, members are regulated broker-dealers and banks. Partior: JPM / DBS / Standard Chartered consortium, ~$1B Series B valuation (July 2024) on permissioned interbank settlement - permissioned was the thesis, not a discount. Fnality: 19+ global bank consortium (UBS, Barclays, Commerzbank, Lloyds, Nasdaq), >$300M raised, first live transaction late 2023 after multi-year permissioned deployment. Visa / Mastercard: permissioned authorization networks, member-only access, hundreds of billions in combined market cap on fully permissioned models. The market pays a premium for permissioned networks in regulated financial infrastructure, not a discount. Investors and advisors who apply public L1 valuation methodology to SCN are using the wrong comparable set.

### What SCN Unlocks

- **Court-admissible by default.** Every record is FRE 902(14) self-authenticating. Litigation counsel introduces records directly without foundation hearings.
- **Examiner-ready attestation.** Every attestation identifies signers, jurisdictions, and compliance posture at the record level.
- **Sovereign deployment.** Central banks, financial authorities, and free-zone regulators deploy Sovereign Stack with in-country validators under their law. Owned, not rented.
- **Credential portability.** An operator credentialed in one jurisdiction (ADGM, DIFC, VARA, IFSCA, NYDFS, FinCEN) can present that credential to participating regulators in others.
- **Strategic partner integration.** Qualified custodians (Fireblocks, Anchorage, BitGo, Coinbase Custody), payment processors, settlement networks, bank-owned infrastructure can integrate against a permissioned network with documented operators. They cannot integrate against permissionless.
- **Regulatory visibility without surveillance.** Regulators receive real-time visibility into operator compliance posture across jurisdictions without surveilling retail users. SCN attestations are about operators and transactions.

### Economic Model

Permissioned admission enables revenue lines permissionless networks cannot generate: validator admission fees (institutional and sovereign participants), attestation fees (35-90 bps live, 5 bps retroactive), sovereign licensing ($2M-$40M per Sovereign Stack deployment), regulator licensing ($500K-$2.5M/year per regulator for RAN console access and sealed audit exports). These stack on the same infrastructure.

### Bottom Line

SCN is permissioned because the customer requires it, because the regulatory environment requires it, because FRE 902(14) chain of custody requires it, because HSM key custody requires it, and because post-quantum signing can only be enforced on a credentialed validator set. Anonymous validators are incompatible with the market JIL serves. Every signer on the Sovereign Compliance Network is known, accountable, PQC-signed, jurisdictionally bound, and operationally disciplined.

## THE COURT-READY VERDICT RECORD

Sample: https://jilsovereign.com/samples/verdict-record (HTML) and https://jilsovereign.com/samples/verdict-record.pdf (196 KB PDF, fictitious subject data).

Structure (8 numbered sections):
- **Section 0: Identifiers and Retention.** report_id (primary key), attestation_id (links to attestation-service), vendor_id (requester), profile_id (test profile applied), date_completed, SHA-256 content hash. Storage: vendor-controlled SDV endpoint configured at onboarding. JIL stores hashes and retrieval locators only (never the sealed PDF blob itself, never the plaintext encryption key - those stay with the vendor). Retention: 15+ years minimum. Retrieval index: `trust.verdict_records` (PostgreSQL, hot) + replicated to `verdict_index.clickhouse` (analytics). Retrieval API: `GET /api/v1/verdicts/{report_id}` returns a signed URL scoped to the vendor's SDV. Retrieval SLA: under 2s (first 2 years, hot), under 48h (years 2-15, cold), under 24h for regulators with vendor cooperation.
- **Section 1: Subject of Verdict.** Request type, custodian / vendor, counterparty with LEI, asset + amount + chain, origin + destination wallets, purpose code, latency budget.
- **Section 2: Test Profile Applied.** Profile name, version, compliance-officer signature, 111 checks across 15 signal categories, jurisdictions enforced (US OFAC / FinCEN / SEC; UK OFSI; EU EBA / MiCA; Switzerland SECO; Singapore MAS; UAE VARA / DFSA; Canada OSFI).
- **Section 3: Vendor-Approved Data Sources.** Each data source with an attestation certificate ID (e.g., `cert:ofac:8ac3:d91e:2f7a:c6b4`), last refresh timestamp, update cadence.
- **Section 4: Test-by-Test Result Matrix.** All 111 checks shipped with check ID, test name, method, source, result, evidence SHA-256 hash. Individually Ed25519-signed, collectively rolled up to a Merkle root.
- **Section 5: Final Verdict.** YES / NO / REVIEW + confidence score + reason codes.
- **Section 6: Cryptographic Seal and Anchor.** Ed25519 + Dilithium-III hybrid signature, 14-of-20 validator quorum across 10 jurisdictions, JIL L1 block and tx hash, Merkle root, QR code linking to public verification URL `/verify/{report_id}`.
- **Section 7: Chain of Custody Timeline.** Microsecond-precision event log from custodian request through sealed delivery, SDV write, and retrieval-index commit.
- **Section 8: Authorized Evidentiary Uses.** Federal Rules of Evidence 702 and 901, OFAC blocked-transaction reporting (31 CFR 501.603), FinCEN SAR / CTR, SEC investigative responses, state AG submissions, custodian compliance evidence for SOC 2 Type II / ISO 27001 / NYDFS Part 500 / HITRUST CSF audits, Bank Secrecy Act 5-year recordkeeping.

Key properties:
- **Tamper-evident.** Any modification to the PDF invalidates the Ed25519 / Dilithium signature.
- **Independently verifiable.** No JIL cooperation required. Any party with a SHA-256 hash, an Ed25519 verifier, and public access to the JIL L1 ledger can validate the anchor. Verification procedure is open-source.
- **Vendor-controlled storage.** The sealed PDF lives in the vendor's SDV endpoint, not in JIL-controlled storage. Vendor-held encryption key. JIL knows the blob hash and locator, not the plaintext.
- **15+ year retention.** Exceeds BSA 5-year, FATF 7-year, NYDFS 7-year, HIPAA 6-year requirements. Permanent retention may be elected.
- **Multi-key retrievable.** Query by report_id, attestation_id, vendor_id, profile_id, date_completed, subject_hash, or L1 anchor tx.

## CURRENT POSITIONING (April 2026)

**The Payment Integrity Network** - 5 pillars producing one court-ready record. The FWEA framework (Fraud, Waste, Error, Abuse) is the category of problems the pillars solve:
- **Fraud** (deliberate deception): pig butchering, BEC, APP scam, synthetic identity, deepfake authorization, Magecart, TBML. Typical institutional exposure: 0.5-2.5% of annual payment volume.
- **Waste** (legitimate payments that shouldn't have happened): duplicate claims, duplicate invoices, overpayments, upcoding, remittance mismatches. Typical exposure: 2-6%.
- **Error** (unintentional mistakes): IBAN checksum failures, routing/account errors, BIC mismatches, expired credentials. Typical exposure: 0.3-1.2%.
- **Abuse** (policy-technicality violations): structuring, cross-jurisdiction smurfing, sanctions evasion via hub routing, bust-out schemes, CBDC restriction bypass. Typical exposure: 0.2-1.0%.

Combined FWEA exposure for most institutions: **3-8% of annual payment volume**. Most never measure it systematically. JIL is the only attestation engine that covers all four pillars in a single framework.

## THE 111-CHECK VERDICT ENGINE (15 CATEGORIES)

JIL's Verdict Engine runs all 111 checks in parallel for every transaction, producing a deterministic YES/NO/REVIEW verdict in under 2 seconds:

| # | Category | Checks | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Identity & Counterparty Integrity | 7 | 20% |
| 2 | Payment Rail-Specific Fraud | 17 | 20% |
| 3 | Regulatory Compliance Flags | 11 | 15% |
| 4 | Transaction Behavior & Velocity | 7 | 15% |
| 5 | Settlement Instruction Integrity | 7 | 15% |
| 6 | Healthcare & Government Rails | 5 | 5% |
| 7 | Macro & Systemic Flags | 4 | 10% |
| 8 | Cross-Jurisdiction Typology Correlation | 6 | 5% |
| 9 | Emerging Threat Intelligence | 2 | 5% |

**14 FWEA checks (the extension from 55 to 69), plus 42 WIE wallet intelligence signals (total: 111 checks across 15 categories):** pig butchering / romance-investment scam detection, AI voice deepfake at authorization, Fraud-as-a-Service infrastructure intelligence, DPAN wallet provisioning fraud, Magecart / e-skimmer compromised merchant detection, ZKP post-settlement attestation artifacts, real estate closing wire protection, trade-based money laundering (TBML) with World Bank commodity reference, bust-out credit fraud detection, CBDC attestation framework (eCNY / digital euro / mBridge), consortium intelligence network, adversarial ML / model drift detection, HNDL quantum-safe TLS, XAI natural-language verdict explanations.

**18 international rail checks:** SEPA APP, UK FPS PSR, PIX (Brazil), UPI (India), SWIFT gpi chain substitution, CIPS sanctioned-entity routing, NPP PayID (Australia), EU MiCA stablecoin, EU DORA, UK FCA authorization, FATF International Travel Rule, IBAN integrity, correspondent chain hop anomaly, FATF typology pattern match, Egmont FIU intelligence, BIS CPMI payment system risk, cross-border velocity multi-jurisdiction, sanctioned jurisdiction hub routing.

## MONETIZATION (April 2026 pricing)

| Tier | Use Case | Pricing | Included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter (Real-Time) | Live pre-settlement attestation | 5 bps per transaction | All 111 checks, XAI explanations, SHA-256 sealed verdicts |
| Pro (Real-Time + Enrichment) | Live + consortium intelligence | 7 bps per transaction | Starter + consortium signal enrichment + priority support |
| Enterprise (Full Stack) | Live + ZKP + adversarial ML + compliance team | 12 bps per transaction | Pro + ZKP post-settlement artifacts + ML drift detection + dedicated compliance access |
| **Retroactive Audit (Discount)** | Historical batch validation of 4+ years of payments | **1-2 bps per historical record** (processing fee) or **5-10 bps on verified recoveries** (performance fee) | All 111 checks + FWEA Recovery Report + regulator-ready audit artifact |
| Retroactive + Real-Time Bundle | Audit + real-time commitment | 0.5 bps retroactive + real-time tier | Above + roadmap credit |

**Retroactive audit deal sweetener:** JIL retains 5-10 bps on confirmed recovered funds from findings (optional revenue-share model for institutions that can't pre-fund the audit). Example ROI: a 50M tx/year bank with 4 years history (200M tx) spends ~$2M on audit, identifies ~$60M in FWEA exposure at industry-average 3% rate, recovers $12-21M - a 6-10x ROI.

## FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

### What kind of company is JIL Sovereign?
JIL Sovereign is institutional settlement infrastructure built by defense and enterprise technology veterans. The JIL token is a utility token that powers settlement operations on the JIL L1 blockchain. It has 273 production microservices, 75 patent claims, and 10 live mainnet validators.

### What does JIL Sovereign actually do?
JIL Sovereign provides proof-based settlement infrastructure that enforces compliance, binds beneficiary identity, and produces deterministic finality receipts before value moves. Think of it as "the DTCC for tokenized assets" - a neutral settlement rail that institutional clients use to settle digital asset transactions with regulatory compliance built in.

### Who is behind JIL Sovereign?
Three co-founders with 100+ years combined experience in defense and enterprise systems: Jeff Mendonca (CEO, 39+ years mission-critical systems since 1985), Joshua McCarley (COO, 21+ years US Army Special Operations, $500M+ portfolio delivery), and Stanley Byrne (CDO, 40+ years data strategy/AI/cloud platforms).

### How is JIL different from other crypto projects?
JIL is not a typical crypto project. It is institutional infrastructure. Key differences: self-custody (users keep their keys), post-quantum cryptography in production (not on a roadmap), 14-of-20 validator BFT consensus across 13 jurisdictions, built-in regulatory compliance at the consensus layer, and 10% of all protocol revenue hard-coded to humanitarian causes via immutable smart contracts.

### What is the JIL token used for?
The JIL token is used for: gas fees on the JIL L1 blockchain, validator staking (securing the network), governance voting, settlement fee payments, and accessing platform services.

### Is JIL's technology real or vaporware?
JIL Sovereign has a fully operational technology stack: 273 production microservices, 38 Solidity smart contracts, 10 live mainnet validators, a working testnet, deployed Ethereum bridge contract, and 75 patent claims. The ERC-20 token is live on Ethereum mainnet. The platform has been in development since 2024.

### How does JIL handle compliance?
Compliance is enforced at the consensus layer by validators, not at the application layer. This means every transaction must pass compliance checks (KYC, AML, jurisdictional rules) before it can be included in a block. Zero-knowledge proofs allow compliance verification without exposing personal data on-chain.

### What is the humanitarian component?
10% of all protocol revenue (settlement fees, execution venue fees, gas fees) flows to humanitarian causes through immutable smart contracts. This cannot be overridden by the board, investors, or any corporate decision - it is enforced by code. Focus areas include human trafficking recovery, addiction treatment, refugee support, and poverty relief.

## JIL Investigation Engine (April 2026 Product Launch)

### Positioning

JIL operates two product surfaces that share infrastructure but target different buyer personas:

1. **Real-time pre-settlement attestation** (111-check Verdict Engine): for treasury and payment operations teams.
2. **Investigation Engine** (retroactive identity integrity audit): for Inspector Generals, outside counsel, Chief Compliance Officers, and federal program integrity offices.

The Investigation Engine tagline: **"We run the entire investigation. You just send the records."**

### Core Concept: Temporal Identity Resolution

Every check is anchored to the payment date, not to today's state of the record. The system reconstructs a Temporal Identity Profile (TIP) for each payee showing the exact state of their identity on the date each payment was made. A provider who died in November 2022 is not "currently deceased" from a payment database perspective if their NPI is still active and their bank account is still open. JIL's temporal reconstruction anchors every identity check to the payment date - reconstructing the world as it was when money moved.

### Canonical Numbers

- Throughput: 100 million records in 10 to 20 minutes
- Large dataset: 200 million transactions in 48 to 96 hours on standard cluster
- Identity check dimensions: 28+
- Lookback window: 4+ years standard, configurable
- Tier 1 (Core Mortality): 35 bps per record
- Tier 2 (Entity Integrity): 60 bps per record
- Tier 3 (Full Intelligence): 90 bps per record
- Revenue-share: 15% of confirmed recovered funds
- Bundle discount: 10% when combined with FWEA 1 bps audit

### New BID Endpoints (ID-008 through ID-016)

Five new endpoints extend Category 1 of the Verdict Engine. Prior to this update, a deceased person with a valid IBAN, a clean OFAC record, and no adverse media scored 80 out of 100 - the "safe to release funds" threshold. These endpoints close that gap.

- `POST /v1/bid/check/deceased` (ID-008, ID-009) - SSA Death Master File, state vital records, CMS Provider Deactivation Registry, LexisNexis Deceased Alerts. $1.8B+ SSA + $2B+ Medicare/Medicaid ghost-provider fraud addressed.
- `POST /v1/bid/check/eligibility` (ID-010, ID-011) - CMS PECOS, SSA NUMIDENT, DHS SAVE, OIG LEIE, SAM.gov, state MMIS. $175B+ federal improper payments addressed.
- `POST /v1/bid/check/license` (ID-012, ID-013) - CMS NPPES, OIG LEIE, DEA Diversion Control, state licensing boards, NURSYS, FINRA BrokerCheck, SEC IARD. $60B+ healthcare billing fraud addressed.
- `POST /v1/bid/check/employment` (ID-014, ID-015) - E-Verify (DHS/USCIS), IRS TIN Matching, SSA WRIS, Equifax The Work Number. $50B+ payroll fraud addressed.
- `POST /v1/bid/check/citizenship` (ID-016) - DHS SAVE, USCIS, SSA NUMIDENT, state vital records, state DMV. $10B+ improper entitlement fraud addressed.

### Ignore Flag API

`POST /v1/bid/ignore` lets an authorized operator override a BLOCK or REVIEW verdict. All checks always run - the ignore only affects the payment release decision. Every override writes an immutable, Dilithium-signed OPERATOR_OVERRIDE record to the JIL L1 ledger. The record cannot be deleted, modified, or suppressed. A pattern of OPERATOR_DISCRETION overrides on the same payee over 18 months, approved by the same supervisor, documents a pattern of willful payment to a known-flagged entity. The ignore log is included as a standard component of every Investigation Engine findings package.

Reason codes: KNOWN_EXCEPTION, FALSE_POSITIVE_CONFIRMED, LEGAL_OBLIGATION, TRANSITIONAL_PAYMENT, REGULATORY_WAIVER, OPERATOR_DISCRETION.

### Category 1 Expansion

Combined total: 111 checks across 15 signal categories (69 FWEA + 42 WIE wallet intelligence signals). Rationale: new checks address confirmed, quantified loss categories ($646B+ annually) rather than probabilistic emerging threats.
