## Proof Points

- **Signal:** Trust, risk, relationship
- **Entity types:** Addresses, domains, vendors
- **Use:** Approve, flag, block

## Capabilities

### Trust scoring

Score counterparties from observed payment behavior, verification context, and relationship history.

### Risk alerts

Surface suspicious recipients, blocked entities, and risky payment patterns before they spread.

### Relationship maps

See how agents, wallets, vendors, and organizations connect through payment activity.

### Policy inputs

Use network signals as policy conditions for approvals, blocks, or trusted fast lanes.

## Workflow

### 1. Observe the recipient

Conto resolves the address, domain, or vendor behind a proposed payment request.

### 2. Evaluate trust context

The platform checks local relationships and network signals before the request settles.

### 3. Apply the right outcome

Trusted entities can clear, unknown ones can pause, and risky recipients can be blocked.

## Outcomes

- Agents can discover counterparties without treating every new recipient as safe.
- Security teams get earlier warning on bad actors and recipient drift.
- Trust decisions become part of the payment record.
