+# KYB Compliance Verification Crew
+
+A CrewAI crew that performs Know Your Business (KYB) verification using [Strale](https://strale.dev) for company data lookup, VAT validation, and compliance screening.
+
+## What it does
+
+Three agents work sequentially to verify a business entity:
+
+1. **Company Data Researcher** — Looks up official registry data and validates VAT numbers
+2. **Compliance Screening Analyst** — Screens against sanctions lists, PEP databases, and adverse media
+3. **KYB Report Writer** — Synthesizes findings into a structured verification report with risk assessment
+
+## Capabilities used
+
+This crew uses [crewai-strale](https://pypi.org/project/crewai-strale/) to access:
+
+- **Company registry data** across 27 countries (Nordic, EU, US, UK, AU)
+- **VAT validation** via EU VIES
+- **Sanctions screening** against OFAC, EU, UN, UK OFSI (120+ sources)
+- **PEP screening** — Politically Exposed Persons database
+- **Adverse media** — news coverage screening across 235,000+ sources
+
+## Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pip install crewai-strale
+
+# Set your API keys
+export STRALE_API_KEY=sk_live_...    # get at https://strale.dev/signup
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...         # for the LLM
+```
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+# Default: verifies Spotify AB (Swedish company)
+python -m kyb_compliance_crew.main
+
+# Or customize in main.py:
+inputs = {
+    "company_id": "08804411",        # UK company number
+    "company_name": "Revolut Ltd",
+    "country": "UK",
+}
+```
+
+## Example output
+
+```
+KYB VERIFICATION REPORT

+```
+
+## How Strale tools work
+
+`crewai-strale` wraps Strale’s capability catalog as CrewAI tools. The agents discover and call the right tools automatically based on their task descriptions. Each result includes provenance and an SQS field that the crew can query before relying on the data.
+
+Free capabilities (no API key needed): `iban-validate`, `email-validate`, `dns-lookup`, `json-repair`, `url-to-markdown`.
