How conflicts actually happen
in Technology & SaaS

These diagrams show the relationship patterns ConflictCheck is designed to detect — before they become legal or financial crises.

The Kickback Triangle
A manager routes contracts to a secretly owned vendor, who pays kickbacks back. The owner pays inflated prices and never knows.

The Dual Role Conflict
One individual serves two parties whose interests are directly opposed — a textbook undisclosed conflict of interest.

Systematic protection,
not one-time audits.

🗺️

Map Every Party

Import parties via spreadsheet, document upload, or manual entry. ConflictCheck deduplicates, maps beneficial ownership, and cross-references public records automatically.

🤖

AI Conflict Detection

Our engine finds the connections manual reviews miss — shared addresses, overlapping ownership, dual roles, and transaction patterns that indicate fraud.

📋

Annual Disclosures

Every party certifies annually. Overdue disclosures escalate automatically. Everything stored immutably — timestamped, signed, legally defensible.
