The Problem

Artificial intelligence has made impersonation and phishing attempts polished, personalized, and difficult to identify through spelling, appearance, caller identity, or local phone numbers. Employees currently improvise verification by inspecting addresses, searching numbers, consulting general-purpose AI, or calling organizations back, creating inconsistent decisions and preventable exposure.

Potential Solution

Provide small businesses with a managed verification desk reachable by forwarded email, screenshot, text, or phone transfer. An analyst checks sender infrastructure, claimed identities, known scam patterns, and trusted contact details, then returns a concise act, reject, or independently verify recommendation. Begin as a human-operated service with documented procedures and gradually productize repeatable checks.

Why Now?

Generative AI is removing familiar warning signs while enabling scammers to sustain convincing conversations at scale. Businesses need a simple escalation workflow that does not expect every employee to become a fraud investigator.
