Manual Review

Manual review is the human-in-the-loop safety net. When a verification is too ambiguous to accept or reject automatically, it lands in the Review state and waits for an operator to decide — rather than being auto-rejected and losing a genuine customer.

What reaches review​

  • A Trust Factor result in the "review" band (e.g. a borderline liveness or match score).
  • A duplicity check hit that needs judgement — a possible twin, name change, or concurrent onboarding.

Review cases surface in the dashboard queue and are worked from the Digital Identity detail.

Resolving a review​

DecisionWhoResult
AcceptOperator, SupervisorThe verification passes; records are created/updated per the workflow.
RejectOperator, SupervisorThe verification fails and is recorded as a failed attempt.

Reviews that are never actioned are auto-rejected after a configurable number of days, so nothing sits unresolved indefinitely.

Resolving duplicates​

When a verification has duplicity check hits, the operator resolves them in the Duplicates tab:

ActionMeaning
Resolve as UniqueConfirm this is a distinct, new person — create a new Customer.
Merge with CustomerThis is an existing Customer — link the attempt to them.
Put as new on BlocklistThis creates a blocked person — reject and associate accordingly.

When the hit is a concurrent in-flight verification, resolving one case also settles the other so two records are never created for the same person.

Supervisor escalations​

Some actions are Supervisor-only and require confirmation because they are consequential or irreversible:

  • Reset to Review — reopen an already Accepted or Rejected verification.
  • Put on Blocklist — block a person so future matches auto-reject.
  • Anonymize — irreversibly erase a person's data (GDPR).

Auditing​

Every review decision is recorded in the audit log with actor, timestamp, reason, and a before/after diff, and can be delivered to the Company's backend as a record-action webhook.
