Payment Intelligence
Every payment tells a story. Know what it says before a reviewer does.
Classifi analyzes your outside payroll payments the way an experienced reviewer would — looking for concentration risk, missing documentation, and near-threshold payees without W-9 coverage.
- ✓Concentration signals: large single payees, repeat-payment patterns
- ✓Threshold proximity alerts with W-9 coverage status per payee
- ✓Missing proof surfaced by payment volume — highest exposure first
Proof Center
Proof organized by payee, not buried in email.
Attach W-9s, certificates of insurance, scopes of work, invoices, and approvals directly to each contractor record. Track what's missing, what's expiring, and what's been requested.
- ✓Every proof type attached to the right payee record
- ✓Expiring and missing documents flagged automatically
- ✓Request tracking so follow-through doesn't die in email
Also included
Everything else you need. Nothing you don't.

I spent years sitting across the table from employers during misclassification audits. I saw what destroyed their defense — and what saved it. I built Classifi because that knowledge shouldn't only exist in a government office.
