Trust workflow

1. Run this checker on raw input before user-facing action.

4. Run related tools when the request includes payment, identity, or urgency pressure.

FAQ

Does this validate government registries directly?

No. It checks trust consistency signals and helps decide when formal registry verification is required.

When should AP escalate a mismatch?

Immediately for beneficiary changes, legal-entity drift, or PO reference inconsistencies.
