Financial institutions in Southeast Asia spend enormous amounts of manual labour on KYC, specifically verifying customer identities, reviewing documents, and screening against sanctions lists. It's slow, expensive, and error-prone, but regulators mandate it regardless. Existing solutions were built for Western markets and don't map cleanly onto SEA's regulatory environment.

I'm exploring whether there's a specific step in this workflow broken enough to build a focused AI solution around. I will have opportunities to talk to people in the industry, to try and better identify this broken step.
