Vendor Onboarding.
Days, not weeks.
Leah runs the full onboarding flow: KYC, sanctions, ESG, contract generation, approval routing. Then keeps watching the supplier base for emerging risk after the relationship begins.
Onboarding takes weeks. Risk shows up after the contract is signed.
Onboarding takes weeks, blocking the business
Procurement collects forms, legal reviews documents, risk runs screenings, and compliance signs off. Each handoff sits in a queue. By the time the vendor is live, the project that needed them has already slipped.
KYC and sanctions checks are one-time gates
Identity verification and sanctions screening happen once at intake, then never again. Sanctions lists update constantly, ownership structures shift, and yet most TPRM programs treat the initial check as the final word.
ESG commitments captured then forgotten
Vendors attest to ESG frameworks at onboarding. Certifications are uploaded into a shared drive. After contract signature, no system tracks expiry, renewal, or whether the commitments are being honored in practice.
Risk surfaces after the contract is signed
The riskiest period for any supplier relationship is the years after onboarding, not the week of intake. Most programs invert the effort, spending heavily up-front and almost nothing on continuous monitoring.
Adverse media never triggers a re-screen
A supplier is named in an enforcement action, a regulatory filing, or a news report. Nobody on the buyer side notices for months. The trigger to re-screen depends on a human happening to read the right article.
No portfolio view of supplier risk
Risk lives in scattered spreadsheets, point tools, and email threads. There is no single answer to which suppliers are highest risk today, which require renewed diligence, or which exposures concentrate across categories.
Beneficial ownership traversed, documents validated
Leah verifies vendor identity end-to-end. Corporate registries are queried, beneficial ownership is traced through layered structures, and submitted documents are validated for authenticity. Where ownership chains terminate in opaque jurisdictions, Leah flags the path explicitly with the evidence trail attached.
“We used to take three weeks to clear KYC on a complex multi-jurisdictional supplier. Leah closes the same case in an afternoon, with a stronger evidence trail than we ever produced manually.”

From new vendor request to active supplier, then continuous watch
Leah works on top of your existing TPRM, ERP, and CLM stack. No rip and replace. Value from the first new supplier request.
Receive Vendor Request
A new supplier request arrives from procurement, legal, or the business. Leah captures the requested scope, category, and urgency, and opens the onboarding case with the right diligence depth attached.
Run Onboarding Workflow
KYC, beneficial ownership, sanctions, PEP, ESG, and compliance checks all run in parallel. Vendors are guided through the document collection that is actually required, not the maximalist form your template defaults to.
Generate Contract
When diligence passes, Leah selects the right template, applies negotiated terms, and produces a clean draft. Legal review is targeted at exceptions, not boilerplate.
Approve and Activate
Approval routes through the matrix you defined, with full context at every step. Signed contracts feed back into the supplier record, and the vendor is activated in downstream systems.
Monitor Continuously
Adverse media, financial health, sanctions updates, and certification expiry are all watched in the background. Material changes route to the right reviewer within hours, with the prior diligence attached.

Leah screens against OFAC SDN, UK HM Treasury consolidated, EU consolidated, UN Security Council, and the major regional lists relevant to your jurisdictions. PEP coverage uses commercial PEP databases with adverse media as a complementary signal. New list updates are pulled within hours and trigger automatic re-screening of the active supplier portfolio.
Not necessarily. Leah operates as the orchestration and intelligence layer on top of the systems you have. If you run a dedicated TPRM platform, Leah integrates with it for the structured risk records and adds the autonomous diligence, contract generation, and continuous monitoring on top. Where existing tools are limited to a single check (sanctions only, or KYC only), Leah expands the program without forcing a rip and replace.
Global news feeds, regulatory enforcement publications, court and litigation databases, and sector-specific watchdog sources. Hits are classified by severity and proximity to the supplier entity, and de-duplicated across feeds so the reviewer sees one signal per event, not the same article from every aggregator. Configurable severity thresholds keep the queue focused on what actually matters.
Leah traverses ownership chains until the ultimate beneficial owners are identified or the chain terminates in an opaque structure. Where a jurisdiction does not publish ownership data, the path is flagged explicitly with the evidence trail attached, so the compliance reviewer sees exactly where confidence drops. Most chains resolve fully; the ones that do not are surfaced with their reasons, not silently approximated.
Most customers deploy on the existing supplier portfolio first, running a baseline screen against the full active base. The first portfolio-wide pass typically completes inside two weeks and surfaces a meaningful set of unflagged risk signals. Forward onboarding speedup begins at the first new supplier request, with end-to-end cycle time dropping immediately as parallel workflows replace sequential handoffs.
Leah is deployed by financial services groups, pharmaceutical companies, and global manufacturers with strict data residency and security requirements. Customer data is encrypted in transit and at rest, supplier records do not train Leah's underlying models, and private-instance deployment is available where regulatory or contractual requirements demand isolation. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and ISO 27001 aligned.
