KYC Identity Volade
Why marketplaces still juggle Forms + Drive + Sheets for KYC
Onfido/Jumio bill per check; Forms+Drive scatters evidence; Sheets has no audit.
The platform KYC problem
You need a workflow — not necessarily a biometric vendor on day one.
Onfido bills. Forms+Drive scatters. Sheets has no audit. Persona stays off WP.
- Onfido / Jumio: cost per check, off WP
- Forms + Drive: scattered evidence
- Sheets + email: zero structured audit
- No case status shortcode
- No unified doc checklist
- No CLI / REST for agency fleets
