Use cases
What it looks like on a working day.
Seven situations a small licensed firm runs into, step by step: who does what, what Carina does, and what you have at the end. In every one, your people make the decisions.
Apply
Your first license application
A founder, a compliance officer, outside counsel and three directors
- 01The founder starts a workspace and picks the regulator's checklist. Every requirement appears in the regulator's order, with its reference and a default owner.
- 02Counsel joins as an adviser: they comment on drafts and review documents, and the firm's own people close each item.
- 03Each director gets a private link to their fit-and-proper pack. They answer the questionnaire, upload their documents and sign with a code sent to their email.
- 04The compliance officer uploads the AML policy. The AI review flags gaps against the requirement, quoting the policy; the team fixes some and dismisses others with a reason.
- 05With every item closed, the compliance officer freezes the application. The pack has every file in the regulator's order, an index and checksums.
- 06The regulator's questions come back. Each gets an owner and a due date, and a draft answer that cites the documents the team picked. A person edits and approves each one.
At the end: A submission that can't change after the fact, every answer approved by a named person, and the approval letter with each condition tracked to a date.
Apply
An adviser with several clients applying at once
A consultant supporting four firms
- 01Each client invites the consultant as an adviser. Their home page lists every client's applications at a glance, and each application's dashboard shows what's overdue and who it's waiting on.
- 02They move items along, comment and draft regulator answers in each workspace, seeing only what an adviser's role allows.
- 03The clients' own people close items, approve answers and freeze submissions.
At the end: One place to see every client's progress, with a clear line between the adviser's work and the firm's decisions.

Onboarding a business customer and its owners
A licensed payments firm, its compliance officer and a new corporate customer
- 01Staff add the business and send its private onboarding link. The business answers your form, uploads its documents and lists who owns and controls it.
- 02Your rules mark which of those people must be onboarded in their own right; staff send each of them a link to the individual form.
- 03Staff ask the business to verify itself through the identity verification provider's business form, and each required owner to verify their ID document with a selfie.
- 04Staff screen the business and its owners against the sanctions, PEP and adverse-media lists your owner chose.
- 05The compliance officer records a rating from your risk model and signs off enhanced due diligence where the model calls for it.
- 06The owner or compliance officer accepts or declines the business, with reasons. Any owner not yet accepted, or any result not yet reviewed, shows as a warning, never a block.
At the end: One customer file holding the business's signed submission, its owners' files, every check and screening with its review, the rating and the decision with its reasons.

A screening returns a possible match
A compliance officer and a customer whose name resembles a listed person
- 01A screening against your lists returns a profile with a similar name, its score and the lists it appears on, and lands on the compliance officer's to-do list.
- 02They compare it with what the customer gave: date of birth, nationality and the name on the verified ID document.
- 03They mark the profile not a match, with a note saying why. If it is a match, they mark it so, and record their decision on the customer with reasons.
- 04Anything the firm decides to report, it sends itself. The product records the review and the decision, not a filing.
At the end: A record an inspector can follow: what was screened, against which lists, what came back, who reviewed each result and why.

A data breach is discovered
A compliance officer and the case's owner
- 01The breach is recorded with its severity and the date it was discovered.
- 02Deadlines come from your own rulebook, counted from that date. The case's owner sees them, and they escalate to the compliance officer before they pass.
- 03A notification draft is filled in from the record. A person edits it, sends it and records when and how; the deadline is met on that record.
- 04The case closes only with its cause, the remedy and a reason.
At the end: Every deadline met, late or missed is on record, along with what was sent and when.

The regulator asks for a sample of customer files
An owner or compliance officer preparing for an inspection
- 01They choose the period and the customers the inspector asked for.
- 02The export brings together each customer's summary (decisions, ratings, identity checks and screenings), their signed submissions and files, the incident register and approved board reports, each with its audit trail.
- 03Every stored file is checked against its fingerprint before it goes in; a mismatch stops the export rather than slipping through.
- 04They download one ZIP with checksums anyone can verify, and decide who receives it.
At the end: The inspector's sample in one file, with the means to show nothing in it has changed since it was recorded.

Quarter end: the compliance report to the board
A compliance officer and two directors
- 01The compliance officer starts the quarter's report. The facts are drawn from the records: conditions, customers and ratings, cases and deadlines, retention.
- 02They write the commentary and circulate the report, which freezes its content with a fingerprint.
- 03Each director signs in the app. When everyone has signed, the report becomes a signed PDF.
At the end: A signed report built from the records it describes, with every signature and the exact content signed.
