Last-Mile Delivery
Problem

GET /v2/lookupGET /v2/nearbyKYC, Collections & Portfolio Risk
Problem
Banks need to verify customer addresses for compliance, then actually find borrowers again for collections — and see where risk is concentrated across a loan book.
Solution
Customer's location + consent token → fraud-checked KYC verification with a confidence score → home/work zones registered for collections, with move detection → loan book bucketed by hex zone for portfolio risk.
Impact
1 in 3 KYC applications stall on address alone
