The Buyer Is Your Risk Team

Banks already buy third-party scores every day.

Credit scores. ESG scores. Country risk scores. A dispute-readiness score on a cross-border contract fits directly into that workflow. They evaluate the methodology — not the age of the institution. KBRA was founded in 2010 and rates billions in structured finance.

The CIS™ methodology is DPC Standard v1.0 — six checkpoints, published weightings, auditable. Revenue is decoupled from disputes: a bank buys a CIS™ on every counterparty contract regardless of whether anything goes wrong.

Trade Finance Teams
CIS™ on every counterparty contract as part of facility due diligence. Scores feed into credit committee approval.
Private Equity & M&A
Dispute risk in the acquisition target portfolio identified before close. Same format as every other third-party score they already buy.
Trade Credit Insurers
CIS™ as an underwriting input — dispute-readiness scored alongside payment risk at the same stage.
General Counsel
Third-party institutional assessment demonstrating dispute preparedness to the board.
Six Checkpoints · DPC Standard v1.0

Published methodology. No black box.

The CIS™ derives directly from DPC Standard v1.0. Six checkpoints, scored 0–100 with published weightings. Freely available at theunione.org/dpc-standard. No black box.
