Facts are machine-assembled from cited public sources. Unless marked Verified, individual claims have not each been independently verified by a human reviewer. See [methodology](/methodology). ## Fourteen monitored domains Every cycle reviews all fourteen payments-integrity domains (W1a–W13). W11 AML/CFT intelligence is sourced from [Sentinel.gi](https://sentinel.gi/) via cross-monitor feed. Select any module for its standing briefs and live signals. W11 — AML/CFT & Financial Crime intelligence is sourced from [Sentinel.gi](https://sentinel.gi/), the sister financial-crime monitor. FATF mutual-evaluation updates, sanctions-evasion architecture, travel-rule enforcement and the bank vs non-bank PSP AML supervision gap are published at Sentinel.gi and cross-linked into the WPM corridor (W5) and licensing (W1a) modules where operationally relevant. ## Expert-reviewed & in-review jurisdictions (3 reviewed · 0 in review) Computed automatically at build time from the monitor’s expert-reviewer registry. Any AI-collected update added after an expert’s review cutoff is flagged inline as Pending expert review until next counsel sign-off.

See [full methodology](/methodology) and [public benchmark](https://a-i.gi/benchmark). ### 1. Multi-LLM division of labour Distinct frontier model families handle specialized stages: search-grounded primary-source discovery, independent cross-model extraction & critique (eliminating single-model hallucination bias), and bounded synthesis strictly over verified atoms. Routing weights and prompt chains remain proprietary IP. ### 2. Deterministic code gates Non-AI software enforces schema conformance, HTTP source reachability, verbatim quote-span grounding, and Tri-Date clocks ( last_checked , last_published , last_changed ). Unverified claims are quarantined into explicit gap states ( not_yet_assessed , stale , confirmed_absent ). ### 3. Three-layer human-in-the-loop (i) Lawyers & engineers design schemas and hard rejection gates; (ii) operators monitor weekly canary sweeps and the public Corrections Ledger; (iii) named local practitioners review and sign Verified records (≤12% per firm, zero pay-to-influence), with machine-reviewed records explicitly labelled. ### 4. Enterprise privacy & audit Customer Co-Pilot queries, watchlists, and generated reports are isolated per firm and never used to train models. Corpus ingests only public legal/regulatory instruments under Gibraltar/UK/EU GDPR ([Privacy](/legal/#privacy) · [Licensing](/pricing)). Every claim links to its primary source. Not legal or compliance advice. World Payments Monitor provides structured intelligence and decision support. It is not legal advice, not a regulated financial promotion, and not a substitute for formal KYC/AML, sanctions screening, transaction monitoring or regulatory reporting. W11 AML/CFT intelligence is provided by Sentinel.gi under a cross-monitor linkage arrangement; the same not-advice boundary applies.
