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

  • Expiring and missing documents flagged automatically

Outside payroll as a service offering
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.
