Establish the operating perimeter

List the regulated entities, products, customer types, assets, networks, origin and destination jurisdictions, and counterparties that the configuration must support. Do not begin with a single threshold field before the perimeter is understood.

Map requirements to controls

For each corridor, record the requirement source, effective date, interpretation owner, threshold treatment, data requirements, counterparty conditions, and evidence retained.

DecisionConfiguration object
Is information exchange required?Applicability and threshold rule
Which party data is required?Required and conditional fields
Can the counterparty receive it?Capability and protocol profile
What if information is unavailable?Hold, review, reject, or fallback route
What proves the rule was applied?Configuration and transaction evidence

Test the configuration

Include tests at, above, and below each threshold; missing fields; contradictory jurisdiction data; unsupported counterparties; unhosted wallets; duplicate requests; delayed acknowledgements; and configuration version changes.

Expected outcomes should be approved before test execution. A test that only records what the system happened to do does not prove the intended control.

Approve and publish

The approval package should include:

  • Requirement and interpretation references.
  • Configuration export and version.
  • Test cases, expected outcomes, and actual results.
  • Known limitations and manual controls.
  • Effective date and rollback owner.
  • Impacted corridors, systems, and counterparties.

Monitor change

Trigger reassessment when regulations, regulator guidance, entity scope, products, corridors, counterparties, protocols, or internal risk policy change. Use the knowledge graph to identify which documents, controls, and configurations depend on the changed entity.
