    This is a critical point. Many are finding that traditional KYB frameworks fall short for the opacity inherent in some international structures, especially when tracing UBOs for private companies that might be layered across jurisdictions. I'm seeing more adoption of AI-driven tools that can better parse and cross-reference global corporate registries and adverse media, but it's still a significant challenge.
