How conflicts actually happen
in Retail & E-Commerce

🚨

The Co-op Coercion

A retailer requires vendors to fund co-op marketing budgets that primarily drive traffic to the retailer's own site, enriching the retailer at vendor expense.

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.
