+# 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
+
+```

+
+## How Strale tools work
+
+`crewai-strale` exposes 250+ capabilities as CrewAI tools. The agents discover and call the right tools automatically based on their task descriptions. Each result includes a quality score (SQS) and data provenance.
+
+Free capabilities (no API key needed): `iban-validate`, `email-validate`, `dns-lookup`, `json-repair`, `url-to-markdown`.
