What needs to be true?
Kenshiki sends the smallest possible evidence question.
Our approach
Kenshiki does not replace the lender's decision. It asks narrower questions, gathers bounded corroboration, and returns a record a reviewer can inspect.
Kenshiki sends the smallest possible evidence question.
The provider checks against consented data without sending a raw feed.
The answer can support, weaken, or contradict the file.
The reviewer sees what was checked and what Kenshiki did not take.
Proof without possession
How corroboration works
01
Each check is one narrow question: does the claimed person, place, and income hold together?
02
Providers compute on their side and return a verification result. Kenshiki never ingests more detail than the question requires.
03
The lender opens a record of evidence, reason codes, gates, and what Kenshiki deliberately did not take.
Evidence architecture
Each axis tests one slice of the file’s coherence; uncertainty stays visible.
Triangulation: no single signal settles whether a file is real — the intersection of several independent ones does.
Gate
Consent-based SSA match/no-match verification before corroboration.
A match is necessary but not sufficient; it is not proof of a coherent life.
Score-back presence verification
Asks a provider-side area-and-time question without acquiring raw location data.
Carrier attestation
Checks whether line tenure and device signals cohere with the claimed identity.
Identity and consumer data graph
Checks whether address and residency signals support the claimed life pattern.
Payroll verification
Checks whether income evidence can be verified at an authoritative source.
Open banking
Checks whether account history supports the rhythm of the requested obligation.
Identity resolution
Tests whether identity elements have a seasoned, continuous history.
Kenshiki-built signal
The SDK records a behavioral-biometrics session during the application flow and returns a token.
Raw biometric data stays on device; Kenshiki receives a session token, not the typed content.
The customer API returns the already-sealed evaluation; it does not re-decide the file.
Spatiotemporal presence, in detail
We need to know whether presence is consistent with the file in front of us. A signal can be accurate without being precise: confirming that presence fits a declared region is different from pinpointing a person on a street corner.
We send a region; the provider checks presence on their side. Raw location never enters our system.
Provider layer
The evidence layer
Kenshiki binds independent corroboration signals into the decision record. Named providers stay review-gated until the integration is real and public naming is approved.

We name a source only where the integration is real and the provider permits it. Where a relationship is in progress, we say so.
