This guide helps scope an onchain monitoring workflow. It is an engineering review framework, not a market survey or assessment of an institution's regulatory compliance.
Define the review task
Identify the activity being monitored and the person who will review a result. Document what the system can establish from chain records and what requires other evidence.
Inventory the sources
For each source, record the supplier, licence, update frequency and known limits. Identify how a correction or withdrawal reaches the product.
Keep identity assertions separate from transaction facts. An address match should carry its source and confidence rather than appearing as an unqualified conclusion.
Follow an alert through review
Use a representative example to test the full journey: data ingestion, matching, alert creation, human review and disposition.
Include a false match and a case with missing information. Check whether the reviewer can explain the result using the evidence available in the product.
Record the decision
Keep the rule version, relevant source records, reviewer action and next step. Apply access and retention rules to the investigation record.
An audit trail should help reconstruct an action. It should not require unrestricted access to every person's data.
Agree the operating boundary
Document which decisions the system supports and which remain with the institution. Confirm source availability, deployment requirements and support before integration.
