What gets scored
Only observed operational indicators: identity mismatch, borrowed documents, remote-control tooling, impossible location patterns, shipping-route conflicts, payout anomalies, repository access behavior, and official public records.
Methodology
Evidence first. No nationality shortcuts.
Kimchi Canary is a risk triage desk for hiring, vendor review, and incident response. It helps teams preserve records and slow down access when independently verifiable fraud indicators appear.
What does not get scored
Nationality, ethnicity, fashion, accent, political speech, or discomfort on camera do not create a finding. Accent, dialect, or South Korea-specific details can only support a claim-consistency review when the candidate made that claim.
Public watchlist policy
Public entries are limited to official or equivalently reliable public records: FBI, DOJ, OFAC, sanctions notices, wanted pages, indictments, pleas, or sentencings. Allegations remain allegations unless a court or authority has resolved them.
Community reports
Reports are private by default. Approval requires a moderator review, a source or evidence summary, and enough detail for an employer to verify internally. Weak reports stay private or are rejected.
Corrections and removals
People or companies can request correction, extra context, or removal review by emailing dev.koriel@gmail.com. Include the case URL and the record you want corrected.
Operational caution
This is not legal advice and not an automated hiring decision system. Use it to guide due diligence, preserve evidence, and consult counsel for sanctions and employment-law decisions.
