We started from SEC filings, Federal Register rules and enforcement orders, all of them public, and turned them into a set of linked pages a team could read and question. In plain terms, it took four steps.
01 - Gather the sources
We collected the public rules, filings and enforcement orders that make up the US anti-money-laundering and customer-check regime.
02 - Read and organise
Each document was read once, carefully, and its facts were sorted into pages for each regulation, regulated firm, filing and enforcement action.
03 - Link and compare
A firm that appears in a filing and an enforcement order gets one page that brings both together, with each source cited.
04 - Check before saving
Every figure and date was checked against the primary rule or filing. Wherever something was uncertain, it was flagged and then checked by hand against the original.
How we kept it honest
All 18 points that were flagged as uncertain were checked against the primary sources before the sample was finished, so nothing doubtful is presented as settled.
The result: 98 pages: 16 regulations, 17 firms and agencies, 12 filings, 12 enforcement actions, 23 source summaries and 7 pages that pull themes together. Built in a few days.
