Fraud & Risk Detection

Ceertia cross-checks each file against official external sources and scores its confidence out of 100. Proven inconsistencies lower the score. Points no source could confirm are gray zones to verify, never counted as risks. And every level is sourced, never a black box.

What it checks

What it checks, in practice.

What it checks
  • Cross-checks against official registries and public sources
  • Documents already used in another of your files
  • Same address, contact or signature across an abnormal volume of files
  • Sourced risk level with the analysis coverage displayed
A real rule

One rule, as it runs.

Example rule

Flag any document already used in another of your files, citing both file references as evidence; a missing source is reported as coverage, not as fraud.

Verdict stored with sourced evidence
How it works

From submission to arbitration.

1Automatic cross-checking

On submission, checks across five categories — beneficiary, address, building, contractor, consistency — run against official sources.

2Confidence score / 100

Proven inconsistencies lower the score. Points no source confirmed are gray zones — never counted as risks. Same case, same rules, same score.

3Clearing doubts

Each item can be cleared manually — logged under your name, never altering the computed score — or automatically via the deepening.

4Human arbitration

Your team confirms or dismisses the signals. The final decision stays yours — the engine never blocks a file on its own.

The score

A score you can recompute.

Deterministic by design
  • Same file, same rules, same score — every time
  • Recomputable and auditable from the stored checks and ruleset
  • Proven inconsistencies lower it; unconfirmed points never do
  • Manual resolutions annotate the file — they never alter the computed score
By category

Illustrative record. Coverage shows how much of the category a source could actually cross-check — a low score points at the exact category to review.

Two kinds of findings

An inconsistency is not a doubt.

Most fraud tools blur them into one score. Ceertia keeps them apart: what is proven wrong lowers confidence; what simply could not be confirmed is a gray zone your team clears — automatically or by hand.

To treatlowers confidence

Proven inconsistencies — between documents in the file, or against an official source. Each one lowers the confidence score until it is resolved.

Amount consistency

✓ Resolved · traced by name and timestamp, reversible — the computed score never changes
To verifynot a risk

Points no source could confirm — a public registry returned no result. Gray zones, not risks: they never penalize the file the way a contradiction does.

Full transparency

Every check, on the record.

For each check: the data in the file, the source consulted, the result, and its impact on the score. Contradictions surface first.
