KYC automation vs. manual review for edge cases

For platforms handling a high volume of global users, what's the general consensus on striking the right balance between robust automated KYC and the necessity of manual review for truly ambiguous or high-risk profiles? Specifically, when does a complex corporate structure or a non-standard ID flag for human intervention without creating a massive backlog?

Ah, the eternal question: how to automate enough to scale, but not so much you end up with a compliance team perpetually glued to screens, untangling a Gordian knot of shell companies and blurry passport photos. My gut says if you're asking, you've already found your answer is somewhere between 'not enough' and 'too much' manual review.

Good question. I've found that defining clear, escalating thresholds for "high-risk" is key. It's not just about what flags it, but how many flags, and the severity of each. A single non-standard ID might pass if other factors are pristine, but combine it with a complex structure and it should trigger a review.
